Smart Voter Full Biography for Theresa Velazquez

Candidate for
Council Member; City of Stockton; Council District 4

This information is provided by the candidate

I moved to Stockton in 2000, have worked in Stockton, achieved getting my doctorates, raised my daughter, became a grandmother, and have a loving family. I thought it would be a good idea to go into politics, and put my doctorates in management and leadership to work. My family from Puerto Rico includes politicians, such as former Mayor Hernandez, and his grandson Vice-Mayor Hernandez. I believe they had alot to do with me wanting to go into politics.

I am an independent business woman, teacher of dance and fitness for 28 years. Work experience includes security and investigations for 20 years, protecting people, property, and environment. Education includes a Bachelor's of Business Administration (BS), Master's of Business Administration (MBA), and Doctorates of Management in Organizational Leadership (DM).

Published author of book titled, "Health Issues and the Benefits of DanceSport." I offer programs on prevention of child obesity, prevention of teen obesity, senior health and exercise, promoting literacy through dance exercise, and other programs in Stockton. I am running for Stockton City Council, District 4, in Stockton, California. My leadership will address issues on housing, health care, environmental, economy, education, veterans, security, and others.
