CSEA is made up of hard working community members, the very same people that I’ve always worked to advocate for in whatever organization I’ve been involved with. For the past 15 years I’ve advocated for education fairness in the Newburgh School District understanding that everyone has a part to play in education regardless of their job title and that families deserve a fair education regardless of their social status. As a treasurer, committee member, board member, or delegate of various community organizations I’ve always worked to provide programs for our youths and families. It’s my honor to represent CSEA and to continue to advocate for our hard working community members.

Had the honor of being invited to the Association of Fire Districts’ Legislative Breakfast this morning. Grateful for all their service. Appreciated the opportunity to learn of the pressing issues they face from Commissioner D. Green and other members. I hope to be able to work resolve them.

Have we talked yet? I’ve been out in the area introducing myself. Learning that we want the same – real representation of the community, not political discussions. I look forward to continuing the conversations and learning more of your concerns. And if I miss you, happy to sit for coffee or tea anytime!

It was a pleasure to attend the OC Federation of Sportsmen Club Banquet on Saturday with my fellow candidates and watch the recognition of all volunteer organizations in the area.  They work to increase outdoor activities and prevent loss of public access to land and water.   What an honor to watch them recognize all veterans including ones from WWII, Vietnam era (a woman Marine, Oorah!!), and Iraq (Patrick Davis).
