To the Voters

I have been the first member of the Menlo Park Fire Prevention District Board to live in East Palo Alto in 60 years (a resident since 1995) and again seek to represent the interests of this long neglected part of the Fire District.

During the later part of my last term I worked six days a week, ten to twelve hours a day, as a stat medical courier, delivering cancer medications and human transplant tissue such as corneas, to homes and hospitals all over the Bay Area. I am now working as a dues paying union electrician (member IBEW Local 617). I installed low voltage voice and data cable on the University Circle Project for Rosendin Electric and coax cable on the IKEA redevelopment project for Muzak. I look forward to working on other construction projects in East Palo Alto.

I have also been active with the East Palo Alto Council of Tenants (EPACT), which seeks to improve conditions for renters. In my spare time, I work on my fire safety video, "The Cannonball Express" and have thus raised awareness of suburban forest fires like the massive fires that burned last Fall in Los Angeles.

In my first four years of public service, I spent your tax dollars wisely. I helped select a new Fire Chief. I voted against a pay raise for the Directors. I voted in favor of the purchase of new fire engines.

I will fight for electrical independence and Community Access features in any new firehouses that we build. I have stood up for democratic principles and have taken the 'flak' that comes with the territory.

I am the candidate with the education, vision, experience and working class values who can represent the multi-ethnic interests of East Palo Alto, the new money of Silicon Valley and the traditional suburban values of Menlo Park and Atherton. I look forward to serving another four years on the Board.

I will appreciate your vote in the November 8th election.
