Campaign themes
2014
On her campaign website, Velasquez made the following statement regarding her 2014 campaign platform:[1]
"Mirna is against: police, political and judicial corruption; the unfair treatment of the helpless; and the continuing “fat” and “red tape” of City policies and procedures (or the lack thereof), that oppresses its residents, business owners, and others in need.
Mirna is for: free uninhibited enterprise in the business community; providing resources for a “hand up” not just another “hand out”; and the tools for spiritual growth needed to strengthen the residents of the City, so that they can overcome the odds and become “underdogs” in their own right, just like she did."
