DISTRICT 20 REFLECTS A VERY RICH CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN ITS GLOBAL ARCHITECTURAL POPULATION, PROMOTING CULTURAL VALUES THROUGH NORMAL LEADERSHIP WILL ENERGIZE THE CONSTITUANTS TO WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE A SYNERGICAL ENVIRONMENT WHICH WOULD ALLOW THEM TO REALIZE PHENOMENAL THINGS IN CREATING WEALTH IN A HEALTHY AND FRIENDLY ATSMOPHERE.

WE WILL SUPPORT AND/OR COME UP WITH POLICY THAT WILL VALUE ALL CULTURAL DIVERSITY, HEALTH AND FINANCIAL WELL BEING FOR THE CONSTITUENTS. WE ARE VERY PASSIONATE WITH PUBLIC POLICY THAT WILL CREATE A FOUNDATION OF VALUES FOR EVERYONE THROUGH THEIR VARIETY OF ETHNIC SOCIAL GROUPS OF THE DISTRICT. THAT IS OUR MISSION

BE A TRUE LEADER FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS, NOT ONLY A FORMAL LEADER BEING AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, BUT TO BE ALSO AN INFORMAL LEADER LEADING THE CONSTITUENT TO MAKE BETTER DECISION ON THEIR OWN FOR THE GREATER GOOD.

BEING AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, YOU ARE GIVING ALL THE TOOLS AN AUTHORITY TO PLAY A FORMAL LEADERSHIP ROLE, WHEREAS, THE IMFORMAL LEADER MAY HAVE TO START PLAYING THE LEADERSHIP ROLE WITH HIS/HER OWN RESSOURCES, ABILITY AND CAPABILITY WITH NO GIVEN AUTHORITY.

CHARACTERISTICALLY AN ELECTED OFFICIAL SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLAY THE FORMAL AND INFORMAL LEADERSHIP ROLE FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE CONSTITUENTS

AS A CERTIFIED PUBLIC LEADER I HAVE DONE AND ACCOMPLISHED ALONE MANY THINGS IN MY PRIVATE LIVE. ON A PUBLIC TENURE, BEING IN CONGRESS, I WILL BE A FORMAL AND INFORMAL LEADER FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE IN DISTRICT 20 TO AN EQUITABLE AND SYNERGICAL ENVIRONMENT WITH UNITY IN DIVERSITY.
MY VERY FIRST JOB WAS ACCOUNTANT, IN THE BANK OF AGRICULTURAL AND FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT. I SPENT EIGHT YEARS THERE AS A FINANCIAL ANALYSIS DOING AUDIT NATIONALLY FOR THE BANK.
HOW TO MAKE FRIEND by ANDREW CARNEGIE. THIS BOOK HAS GIVEN ME, AT THE EARLY AGE, THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE MY FRIENDS FOR THE ORIENTATION THAT I WANTED TO HAVE IN MY LIFE.
THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE IS THE PLACE WHERE POLICIES ARE BEING CREATED TO BRING CHANGE EVERYWHERE.
SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL INEQUITIES IN THE GERRYMANDERING DISTRICT 20 ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS OF MOST OF THE CONSTITUENTS IN THE DISTRICT WITH THE MOST FOREIGN BORN CITIZENS. THE CONSTITUENTS BLOGGED ABOUT THAT CONSTANTLY. THAT IS VERY IMPACTFUL LIVING AND EXPERIENCING THAT FACT. THEY KNOW THAT HELP IS COMMING WITH ME IN CONGRESS.
