For 26 years I worked for the state legislature. My job was to make certain the legislative process was fair, transparent, and accessible to everyone. I was there for everyone, regardless of party and I hold dear the oath I took to defend the Constitutions of California and our country. As the years passed I realized, however, that I needed to do so much more. There are families and businesses struggling in our community and so far the only solution has been to complain and blame. Blaming doesn't solve anything, and families struggling to pay bills or keep a roof over their heads don't care about blame, they need help. You deserve a representative focused on governing and finding solutions to the problems we all share.
