- Improving California's Public Education System
-
Over the last three decades, funding for California's public schools has declined from 5th in the nation in per-pupil spending to 37th. That's a disgrace! Our children deserve better, and the future of Santa Clara County and the state of California depend on it.
- Enhancing & Protecting Our Quality of Life
-
Although Santa Clara County's economy has improved significantly, what has often suffered is our quality of life.
- Working in Partnership to Create Jobs
-
The private sector--not government--is the engine of job creation in Santa Clara County.
