Vision-Proven Commitment-Experience

By Roberto L. Garcia

Candidate for Councilmember; City of Salinas; Council District 5

This information is provided by the candidate
As Salinas City Councilman, I will serve Salinas City and its people. I will invite representatives and individuals from business, health and education to advise me and encourage them to participate in the public policy process.
I will serve YOU with honor and respect as I served my country during the Vietnam War. As a US Marine, this experience taught me the value of community service.

Salinas City is my home town. I was raised, educated and spent my young years as a farm-worker throughout Salinas Valley produce fields prior to entering military service and continuing my formal education.

For 30 years, I served my community in different ways. I worked with school officials, business and community leaders by providing 7,000 students and their parents early intervention services. These services were paid by YOU, the tax payer. Some 70% of the Salinas City neighborhoods young people enrolled in college/university because they were academically prepared and were willing to work smart to get a college education.

During these same years, I worked with local business people and public officials to provide transportation, a library learning environment, pre-college experience and jobs for youth. WE were able to engage parents in the process of preparing youngsters to enroll in a workforce training program, i.e., professional, para-professional or vocational training.

My leadership, networking and public service experience extends beyond the halls of city government, school-sites, and community centers. My commitment reaches into the homes of Salinas City residents as an advocate for working families, laborers, elders, and local business.

Your VOTE will allow me to serve Salinas City and YOU.......Please Vote and serve your community with this honorable and noble act!

Sincerely,

Roberto L Garcia Candidate, Salinas City Council, District 5
