( Economy / Jobs) The Silicon Valley has permanently changed the world by pioneering computers and many technologies, San Jose being the Capitol of the Silicon Valley we are the stronghold of transformation. What we do in San Jose effects California's economy. California being the 8th largest economy in the world and always changing, we once made a huge impact on the rest of the world around us. I want to "Restore San Jose as the City of Opportunity" once again. San Jose has been neglected and our San Jose people our not getting the help to establish a better living it's time everyone in our city gets an equal chance in getting a fresh start. Once I'm elected I will be able to look into are city budget and resources by reviewing all matters. I will not neglect our city or the people of San Jose let's make the change of a lifetime together. We must take a stand and repair our major issues. If elected I will create many jobs for our people, helping our families & veterans, and improve the quality of living making our city more efficiently advanced in helping small and large vendors and Helping people who would like to open their own businesses. Let's work together and help close ethnic gaps between us all, because San Jose is a very diverse city, we can continue to grow and flourish together with out the fear of poverty. (Public Safety / Housing) Restoring our city title to what it once held being the safest big city in The United States of America. Public safety is a big concern, I feel crime in San Jose is rising, reviewing all programs finding the right civilized program to help stop crime,and in helping homelessness in our city, American veterans and helping family's to be able to work and have a stable lifestyle. Looking into reviewing government's departments in helping our victim of Dental malpractice's along with medical & pharmaceutical prescription medication gone wrong. (Transportation / Roads) With our transportation in San Jose I want to review and evaluate our planning departments, public transportation open construction projects, exam our San Jose layouts on public bike paths on possible creeks, roads, trails. Also projects to reduce pollution. (Education)I will Represent Parents & Children and Teachers. It has been known due to some factors not all students are treated equal in schools, I will help find the right sources of government departments to seek this correction needed. I will be looking in to reforming, reviewing, evaluating, The educational programs that have not been working for our communities. (Health) I am looking to establish a new city health insurance program Important to cover both parents & children, elder grandparents, for low income, high income, and no income families. This will be a priority to mandate, I will find the right sources of government departments to make this possible. Changes are needed for this health care crisis, lets make San Jose the healthiest place to live. I am happy to be open to everyone's ideas and concerns, I Support and Respect our Veterans, Families both Parents & Children and Elders, when elected there will be changes for the greater good for our city and our people.
