Questions & Answers

1. What would you do to increase the number of voters registered in your party?

I would work to increase the number of voters registered for the Democratic Party of Santa Clara by making the work of the Central Committee more public. I would do this by not only advertising the meeting times in print and on the internet, but also publicizing the work and votes of the central committee. Many important issues are voted on in the central committee, but few people realize it. The Democrats Party in Santa Clara County is one of the most vibrant I have seen in my 20 years of politics. More people need to know about it. If they did, I am sure registration would follow.

Modify the law to allow legalization of digital signatures so registration can be done over the internet. Ensure high-quality registration materials are available in Mexican Spanish, Vietnamese, Hindi, Punjabi, Tagalog, Ilokano, and other key languages.

2. What would you do to help the campaigns of candidates of your party?

I would make sure the Democratic Party set aside money to do internet advertising for its candidates in the general election.

3. Why did you become a member of this political party?

I became a Democrat because the ideas of the Democratic Party most closely aligned to my beliefs, and the beliefs of my faith tradition.
