"Candidate Statement"

By Dorene Musilli

Bring it on California!

I am a 3rd generation Californian and a successful non-politician active in business, education, community and family life. My concerns are the concerns of Californians.

Bring on the California Budget!

My fiscal successes are varied: balanced budgets for household checkbooks, multi-million dollar businesses and public agencies. As owner and manager of businesses employing hundreds of Californians, I have met the challenges and reaped the benefits of operating businesses in California. I know the importance of favorable conditions to attract and keep business in our state.

Bring on the California Educational System!

I care about the education of our youth # our future. As a school board member of 21 years at county and local levels, I know California's diversity is an asset, not a liability. I am passionate about ensuring student success, requiring educators to be qualified and offering merit raises for teachers. When I entered grammar school, English was my second language. I have lived bilingual education.

Bring it on California!

I am a good choice for the people of California.
