Smart Voter Full Biography for Deborah "Debbie" Bacigalupi

Candidate for
United States Representative; District 14

This information is provided by the candidate

Occupation: Businesswoman/Biotech Consultant/Agriculture Advocate

Influences: I'm 6th generation Californian and proud of my family's enduring, historical influence in the Bay Area. My mother's family owned the first grocery stores in Oakland, while my father's family opened the Bank of Italy, a Bay Area bank, to help immigrant businesses. Today, as the proud daughter of this California farming and ranching family, we cherish the land, animals, and environment while providing Californians with healthy, natural, nutrient-rich food.

Concerns: Like my family, I'm driven and entrepreneurial. However, massive overregulation, rising unemployment numbers, and systems that cater to few while hurting many are chipping away at the Californian dream. Businesses are leaving. Unacceptable! This must change, for our children and future generations.

Priorities: Career politicians have lost their way putting liberty and freedom in great jeopardy. Their approval numbers are embarrassing. We hear of crises like fresh water is disappearing; yet our politicians support removing vital, green-energy dams. We hear people are hungry, need shelter, yet our politicians support wasteful spending while giving themselves raises. We hear we must change our behaviors because of GHG emissions, yet have our politicians changed theirs?

My priorities are to preserve and safeguard private property and intellectual rights; to protect our local farmers, advocating for chemical-free food, air, water; to terminate overarching regulations; and repair an historically crippled education system. As your Representative, I promise to be different: to listen, to be vibrant and honorable, and to be a critical thinker grounded in evidence-based management principles.

Why I'm Running: I'll tell you why: massive overregulation, rising unemployment numbers, and systems that cater to few while hurting many are chipping away at the Californian dream. Businesses are leaving. Unacceptable! This must change, for our children and future generations.

Many career politicians have lost their way, putting liberty and freedom in great jeopardy. Their low approval numbers are embarrassing. We hear of crises like fresh water disappearing; yet our politicians support removing vital, green-energy dams. We that hear people are hungry and need shelter, yet our politicians support wasteful spending while giving themselves raises.

Elect me, and you'll have a fresh, powerful, and influential voice working on your behalf.
