Reason for Seeking Public Office:
We need a more diverse group of citizens to serve in the Legislature. I want to give back to my State for the great opportunities that I had growing up in Sacramento. I am a proven leader and a confident decision maker. I have integrity, common sense and I get along well with a diverse group of people. Qualities that will serve my constituents well as I use all the experience that I have gained
over my forty years of flying in the Air Force and Delta Airlines to pay it forward.
