Candidate for
Board Member; Palomar Pomerado Health System

My political philosophy cannot be defined in political party terms, especially as it relates to healthcare services and my position as an incumbent on the PPH Board.

My "politics" relate to having quality services, quality staff, the proper equipment and facilities ready and available for the people of our district WHEN THEY NEED THEM. Political opinions of how I feel about the war in Iraq, our growing national debt or social security are irrelevant.

What is relevant is that I know what I am doing in the elected position I seek and my plan for accomplishing that. My feeling is that politics interfere with judgment. Issues need to be decided on THEIR MERIT, not on what some pundit says or how the polls are running.

So, if some want a Republican answer or a Democratic answer, or Green Party answer, you will have to find those elsewhere because my focus is on the need and availability of healthcare services for those that need them.
