- I am a working classs member of the community, proud father and union member.
- I have a doctorate in public administration with an expertise in government ethics.
- I represent the interests of the many, not the few. The people of CA-40 deserve a representative that is reflective of the community.
I believe that people want to see a fighter represent them. A bold candidate may not make much of an impact the first term, but if they are fighting and their voters can see that representative fighting with substance? Then in my opinion, people will vote for that person over and over again.

I sincerely believe in the quote from Abraham Lincoln during the Gettysburg address, which is "...government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." I believe that most residents of their area have a pretty good understanding of what is going on and what is needed. I feel that most politicians are disconnected from the everyday person and do minimal outreach to residents. With that being said, I believe that anyone can be a great representative for the people at the state level if they know the needs of their community and are sincere in doing what is best for their constituents.
It has created a system that people are so invested into it, that they do not know that they are continuing the corrupt system or apathetic to it. This affects every level of government and we can only change it by electing uncorrupted representatives with strong campaign finance initiatives to neutralize private money in politics.
