I or my representive will be attending city and county council meetings to stay current of the needs of the people I represent. As your new Assemblymember, I will lead in the opening of lines of communication and in the establishment of solid working realtionships between federal, state and local agencies to permit the recognition of the needs of the community, the smooth resolution of problems, and most importantly, planning for the future of our communities. I am aware of transportation as a top issue in Modesto. This includes money allocated for light-rail and CalTrain service in the Bay Area. Business and the economy go hand in hand with Agriculture .
Business prommotes agriculture and vice-versa.
I will develop strong work realtionships with eah county's Economic Commission to handle our labor market. The objectives are to promote trade, support training to increase skilled labor and encourage small businesses. The end result, a stronger labor market and jobs. I will emphasize small business and mediate a fair balance between business and labor unions. Yes, for a successful economy to flourish it is imperative I work with labor unions, to assure that pro-opposed regulations are thoroughly scrutinized and achieve the interests of labor and business.
