Candidate for
City Council Member; City of El Dorado Hills

Priorities

• NO NEW TAXES, due to increase in sales tax revenue from new technology development.
• Infrastructure development to keep pace with growth to improve the quality of life.
• Internet Mall / Internet Auto Mall to Increase Sales Tax Revenue without brick 'n' mortar to facilitate technology growth.
• State-of-the-Art Senior Facility with luxury "patio" apartments to comply with affordable housing requirements.
• Internet infrastructure with custom PC's for all El Dorado Hills residents to communicate with city agencies and community services network.
• No increase in permits due to local control by the City of El Dorado Hills.
• Improved parks and recreation facilities for sports and other community events.
• Community activities and other gala events to "BRING AMERICA HOME."

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. [emphasis added]"

Our duty as a free society is to uphold the freedoms and equalities as espoused in our Declaration of Independence. As our community grows and new residents arrive, we must ensure that our community reflects the best of America. It is the responsibility of those in leadership positions to set the standards. As your city council member, I will always remind myself of these self-evident truths, keeping them close to my heart to guide me in my service to our community. My hope is that after my time is complete you can look back and say Charel Winston, pioneer and visionary, left "The Golden City" to the heart beat of angels and the magic of a dream that lives on.
