Smart Voter Full Biography for Oscar A. Velasco

Candidate for
Mayor; City of Carson

This information is provided by the candidate

My family and I have lived and made Carson our home since 1975 we have been blessed and enjoyed the quality of life since we set foot in this great nation of ours.

I passed the Philippine Board of Accountancy examination in 1965 and again passed the State of California Board of Accountancy examination in 1980. I worked as Treasurer-Controller and also sat as a member of the Board of Directors of the Global Navigation Inc., an aerospace industry located in Torrance from 1973 to 1983 until it was acquired by Sundstrand Corporation.

Before this time, when I was 20 years old, I was selected as a representative of student government and sent to Keesler Air Force Base, Biloxi, Mississipi and graduated with honor in Ground Radar Electronic Courses. I served eight years of active military duties at Clark Air Force Base and Poro Point in the Philippines. These were the best years of my life.

When I returned to civilian life and after finishing my college education, I started my professional work and have been involved in many civic organizational activities. I was a recipient of Certificates of Recognition from the California Legislature and City governments for my contributions.
