Questions & Answers

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

-Support increased voter registration rallies at high schools and colleges for new young voters
-Additional outreach to new United States citizens at citizenship ceremonies

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

As a longtime Democrat, I have and will continue to participate in numerous phone-banking and "Get Out the Vote" events.

I believe in supporting candidates who have earned by support and I pledge to continue walking precincts and phone-banking for those candidates who support my values.

Some campaigns I am proud to have worked on: No on Proposition 8 Sam Liccardo for San Jose City Council, District 3 Bevan Dufty, San Francisco Supervisor, District 8 Jeff Adachi, San Francisco Public Defender

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

The Democratic Party values diversity and has a long history of fighting for what's right. My values, that the Democratic Party shares with me, includes:
--Support a woman's right to choose
--LGBT Equal Rights and Non-Discrimination
--A quality and safe public school education
--Freedom of Speech and fighting censorship
