Len Augustine was a 2012 Independent candidate for District 11 of the California State Assembly.
Campaign themes
2012
Augustine's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Creating Jobs/Manufacturing
- Excerpt: "For years we've ignored manufacturing jobs that have been a mainstay of our economy. We must create incentives for manufacturers to stay, reinvest in trade schools and partner with the trades to ensure that we're creating both opportunity and revenue."
- Education
- Excerpt: "As for education, we struggle under bureaucracy, but I'd like to see us empower the classroom teacher and reward them accordingly. My lifetime in the military and local government has taught me that you achieve more accountability the closer you are to the problem."
- Debt/Finance
- Excerpt: "California's single biggest challenge outside struggling families is the crushing debt. In the long-term, the only cure is changing our bad habits. As an Assemblyman, one of my first acts will be to support legislation requiring California to adopt a two-year budget process to make state government more transparent and accountable."
