21st CD Candidate for the 21st Century

As an individual with over 30 years of business, political and civic experience in the United States and internationally, my political philosophy covers a wide range of concepts and ideas. However, most paramount and basic are the Founding Principles, Values and Ideals that are imbued within the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution is the cornerstone and unwavering premise for how the United States prospers and grows as a Nation in perpetuity.

The underlying principle of Democracy and one person - one vote must never be abandoned. Therefore, I believe in full and equal participation by a "society of an involved and responsible citizenry". Only through full and responsible citizen involvement, will America be able to progress and prosper as a society well into the future. This effort must be undertaken in our neighborhoods and communities. It must also be undertaken in the US House of Representatives - the House of the American People.

For those of us who live in California's Heartland - the San Joaquin Valley has been described as the New Frontier of Possibilities. With this high ideal and inexhaustible optimism, I ask you to please join with me in this endeavor to bring America back on course towards a brighter future.

I have outlined a platform that embraces the foundation and principles of a Secured Future with Opportunity
