We’ve seen some incredible things happen in politics lately: turnovers in Massachusetts, the uprising of every day folks angry about the direction their nation is taking, and more. Can we squeeze in one more? I need a miracle.
I’m running for the 25th Assembly District. I talk to many who are tired of the status quo in Sacramento. Many of you tell me you are glad I am running. You say unless and until we send people who have fought in the trenches of county government to restore common sense and fiscal discipline to Sacramento, we’ll just get more of the same. None of us wants that.
There is a fundamental disconnect between we the people and the majority in the California State Legislature. We know what they fail to understand: when income falls, spending must follow. We don’t want more expensive programs or new taxes. We don’t want many of the ones we’ve already got. We want fixes that encourage investment in the economy, not penalties that drive more businesses from the state. We want the unemployment rate to drop. We want jobs. We want to eat, drink clean water, and keep our homes. We want to feel safe. We want legislators that serve us, not special interests.
For the last 3 ½ years you have observed my work ethic and dedication to the people I serve. You have seen my first concern as a county supervisor has been to make your government as transparent and accessible as possible. You have seen that I am unafraid to stand up for you and go against the flow. I work for you, not for “the government,” the way we’ve always done things,” or special interests.
With your encouragement, I have chosen to forego another term as a county supervisor because I’m not content to collect a county paycheck while I cut law enforcement, roads, libraries, recreation, and fire services. I want more for you and I want more for my own family. I plan to be part of a team of fiscal conservatives that reins in and turns this state around. Last Friday was the deadline to file for county supervisor, but I didn’t. I’m running for the Assembly and I’m in this race to win.
Here’s where the miracle comes in. Weds. is the deadline to report to the state all financial contributions and expenditures since January. Many people look at how much a candidate has raised and decide who to support based on their bank account vs. personal qualifications and experience. That’s the way the system works. And while I’ve raised enough to bring a great team on board, the significant financial support I need to fund this race and show folks I’m a contender hasn’t arrived yet. I need a miracle.
I need you to commit to me and donate to my campaign. It doesn’t matter if you can only contribute $10, $100, $500, or if you can give the maximum of $3,900 – everything adds up. If you believe I should be in Sacramento to fight for you, I need you to demonstrate that in a very real way. Your financial contribution or lack thereof sends a strong message to people and groups in the District who don’t know me but might vote for me. Please give as much as you can afford.
Here’s how:

State law allows political contributions via check or online in amounts up to $3,900 per election ($7,800 total for primary and general) from individuals, partnerships, corporations, and PACs. For by-mail donations, we need your name, address, phone number, occupation, and employer’s name to comply with elections law. Unfortunately, donations are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
Thank you for your support and thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of my miracle. If you can’t give right away, no worries. I’ll need help later too. There will be other ways to help too including posting signs, hosting meet and greets, attending fund raisers, walking precincts, and more. For more information on any of those, contact Julia or Amber at (209) 532-8100 or (866) 532-6166.
