Smart Voter Political Philosophy for Cecilia "Ceci" Iglesias

Candidate for
United States Representative; District 47

This information is provided by the candidate

I am a servant-leader. My highest priority is to listen, understand and to connect with the community. I believe that we must care for each other. We must empower the more able to serve the less able. This is the foundation upon which a good society/community is built on. If a better society/community is to be built, we must be more compassionate. We must provide a greater and a more creative opportunity for our community.

I want to be a voice for the people of my District. As a resident of this District for 30 years, I know the needs of our community. I want to educate our community to develop its own resources and be able to find its own solutions. I want to teach them how to fish. As the saying goes, give a man a fish, feed him for one day, and teach them how to fish, feed them for a life time.

I believe there is power in empowering individuals to being self reliant. It is our innate desire to be able to provide for ourselves. We don't want people or government telling us what to do.
