Candidate for
Council Member; City of San Diego; Council District 8

I am an educator- the Chairman of a local College where I teach. Education is the only way our community can prosper. A well-educated city attracts business. And business creates opportunity.

I'm an attorney. I don't specialize in lawsuits or criminals. I represent people who get hurt at work and need help with their insurance claims so they can get back to work.

I'm a husband and father. My wife Teresina and I have been married for 25 years. We rebuilt our home in Sherman Heights. We raised 4 children. We run our small business. And we're active in the community.

I'm running for City Council because I believe a city is like a family.

We educate our kids together. I want San Diego to lead America in after-school programs where kids get their homework done before they have fun.

We protect one another from harm. We need a police force big enough to patrol every neighborhood and never cut or skimp on our firefighters and paramedics.

We preserve what's best for the next generation. Protecting our coast. Rebuilding neighborhoods. Restoring parks and public places. We must renew what we inherited.

I hope you will consider me. Gracias.
