VOTE Tomorrow June 8

Just a reminder to VOTE on June 8. If you want things to change for the better - make sure to get out there and vote! That's what I'll be doing! 

Some recommendations:

Representative: Vote for Marcy Winograd  & unseat Jane Harman! Time to  have  someone who truly represents our disctrict! www.winogradforcongress.com

State Assembly:  Vote for either James Lau or Edgar Saenz. Both of these candidates will roll up their sleeves and work for the people!

Secretary of State: Debra Bowen has done a great job of cleaning up the voting process- re-elect her!

Attorney General: NO endorsement. DO NOT ELECT Rocky Delgadillo - when we was in officein LA, his actions were detrimental to Venice- his interests are with big developers- he is not there for the people!


Governor: Jerry Brown - this is a no brainer!
