This information is provided by the candidate

I'M A GRADUATE OF UCLA WITH A BACHLOR OF ARTS IN HISTORY AND I'M CURRENTLY A POSTGRADUATE STUDENT AT CAL STATE NORTHRIDGE. I'M WORKING TOWARDS A SINGLE-SUBJECT TEACHING CREDENTIAL IN SOCIAL STUDIES.
MY IDOL IS HUBERT HORATIO HUMPHREY AND I WORKED ON HIS CAMPAIGN FOR THE PRESIDENCY IN 1972. I ALSO WORKED ON EVERY CAMPAIGN OF JERRY BROWN AND I HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED HIM FOR THE PRESIDENCY IN 1976 AND 1992.
A GROUP OF US BROWN SUPPORTERS FORMED THE PHIL FROOMERS' VOLUNTEERS FOR EFFECTIVE ACTION IN 1975. WE WERE PASSIONATE FOR A BROWN PRESIDENCY. HOWEVER, AFTER THE WISCONSIN PRIMARY OF 1980, I WAS A SUPPORTER OF A KENNEDY PRESIDENCY IN THE CALIFORNIA PRIMARY.
I WAS A RESIDENT OF HOLLYWOOD, UNTIL I MOVED INTO THE SANTA CLARITA VALLEY IN 1992. THERE I CONTINUED TO WORK HARD FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. I WAS HONORED AS DEMOCRAT OF THE YEAR FOR 2001, AFTER BEING THE VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR OF THE GORE-LIEBERMAN HEADQUARTERS IN SANTA CLARITA IN 2000. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS A SUPPORTER OF PRESIDENT CLINTON AND CONSIDER HIM AS ONE OF OUR THREE GREATEST PRESIDENTS ALONG WITH F.D.R. AND WILSON. I'M A DELEGATE TO OUR STATE CONVENTION FOR THE SEVENTH OR EIGHTH TIME AND I'M RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION TO THE COUNTY COMMITTEE. AT OUR LAST CONVENTION IN ANAHEIM, I SERVED ON THE GRAY DAVIS COMMITTEE AND I WAS A FLOOR WHIP FOR GORE AT THE 2000 CONVENTION. I'M ALSO SERVING ON THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY.
