- Improving California's Public Education System
-
Funding for California's public schools has declined from 5th in the nation in per-pupil spending to 37th. That's a disgrace!
- Protecting the Health of Our Citizens
-
Although Santa Clara County's economy is improving, the health condition of our most vulnerable citizens is not improving.
- Working in Partnership to Create Jobs
-
The private sector -- not government -- is the engine of job creation in Santa Clara County.
