Candidate for
Council Member; City of Hayward

I was born, raised and educated in Hayward. My wife and I are proud to call Downtown Hayward our home. A professor at Chabot College, I also serve our community as Executive Director of The Kids' Breakfast Club, a group that has provided over 100,000 free meals to deserving Hayward kids and their families while teaching them about health and nutrition. I helped found Hayward's Latino Business Roundtable to promote and assist local businesses and encourage their involvement in our community. I now serve on the Measure I Bond Oversight Committee, ensuring your tax dollars are spent appropriately. I am concerned about what's happened to Hayward since I was a kid, and have set myself four goals as your Councilmember: Make sure Fire and Police are fully funded - Continue investing in cleaning up our neighborhoods and parks and keeping them safe - Focus on economic development to bring jobs to our city - Build a stronger partnership with our schools and integrate the University into the community. I am proud to have the support of law enforcement, seniors, teachers, students and community leaders, and would be honored to have your vote. Together we can make a difference for Hayward! http://www.salinasforhayward.com.
