WHY I AM RUNNING

I have numerous important reasons for caring what happens in Los Angeles – my family and friends.

Our economic strain and the lack of jobs have prompted me to try and do something. Government spending is running rampant, efficiency is non-existent, waste is the rule of the day and bureaucracy is hampering business. We must address these concerns today to protect the future of our children and grandchildren.

Government fiscal discipline is a must. We must make Los Angeles business friendly and look for ways to address the housing crises.

Improving our education system and public transportation will improve the quality of life in Los Angeles

I want future generations to enjoy the freedom our country was based on. Keep our jobs at home and increase productivity and job security.

Sustainability – “We strive to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
We should discourage wastefulness and misuse, and promote efficiency and conservation.

I need your help!

We must take responsibility for our actions if we are to succeed

“To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.” When you start realizing that you alone are responsible for your own life, then things start getting better. It might be scary at first, because now you do not have anyone else to blame. However, there is a level of freedom associated with taking responsibility for your life. “The price of greatness is responsibility.” There is some point in your life where you can no longer be persuaded by what the crowd is doing. You can no longer feel comfortable with the status quo. You have this feeling deep within you that there is more to life and that, “if it is to be, it is up to me.” That day is a very good day, because you have just learned a major secret to life. You are the creator of your own destiny and only you can make your dreams come true. “Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.”

Family, Honesty and morality are the foundation of society.
