Ballot Statement

By Jack E. Dale

If you agree that East County should have a strong voice that will fight to bring our tax dollars home to fund local priorities, including public safety and freeway improvements, then please join my campaign for State Assembly.

While many schools are failing and traffic congestion is increasing, legislators in the Assembly are spending their time attacking the institution of marriage and our tax dollars to subsidize college tuition for illegal immigrants.

Their priorities are completely out of whack!

It's time for a change.

As Mayor and Councilmember in Santee, I've shown that we can keep government small and taxes low, while still creating one of the safest, most family oriented communities in the region- that's why Sheriff Bill Kolender, the Deputy Sheriffs' and the East County Firefighters Associations have endorsed me.

As East County's representative on SANDAG, I've fought successfully to fund improvements to I-8, SR67, SR125 and SR52.

But as your State Assemblyman, I can do much more!

Three of East County's most respected Republican officials have endorsed me: former Supervisor GEORGE BAILEY, former Senator JIM ELLIS and former State Assemblywoman CAROL BENTLEY.

Their endorsements mean a lot to me because each consistently stood up for the principles and values we share, AND fought for East County taxpayers to get things done and to protect and improve our community.

That's my pledge: to represent both your values AND your interests as a taxpayer. I ask for your vote.
