The Manuel Perez Plan for New Jobs and a Stronger Local Economy

By Manuel Perez

Candidate for Member of the State Assembly; District 80

This information is provided by the candidate
For too long, the 80th Assembly District has been ignored and neglected by politicians. Growing up the son of farm workers, I know the struggles of working families. As an educator, healthcare provider, and grassroots organizer, I also know what works for California.
For too long, the 80th Assembly District has been ignored and neglected by politicians. Growing up the son of farm workers, I know the struggles of working families. I will fight locally and in Sacramento to bring new opportunities and prosperity to all our communities.

As our next Assembly Member, I will be a leader in creating new jobs and stimulating our local economy. I will:

  • Bring new green technology businesses to the Valley, and create green collar jobs by tapping into the alternative energy resources within the district.
  • Create higher education opportunities, workforce development and job training sites.
  • Build partnerships between tribal governments, resorts, golf courses, hotels, and the tourist industry with local schools and community colleges to create internships, apprenticeships and job training opportunities.
  • Strongly support family farmers and farm workers to ensure prosperous yields.
  • Promote small business economic development, encourage the California entrepreneurial spirit, and expand and promote "enterprise zones."

As an educator, healthcare provider, and grassroots organizer, I know what works for California, and what is needed for the 80th Assembly District.
