"Thank you to all who supported my campaign. As the first Green
Party candidate to ever run for State Assembly in the 72nd District it is exciting to see voters responding to a campaign
funded by individuals and not lobbyist groups. By continuing to refuse corporate and big union money the Green Party
can be part of the solution to Sacramento's lobbyist driven agenda, and instead work for a future of clean renewable energy,
real mass transit, conservation based water plans and single payer health care for all Californians."

No
one should be without clean water, clean air, health care, or an education, and yet so many people in our state are suffering
because they cannot afford these things. If these and other issues like a sustainable economy, decentralized clean energy,
equal marriage rights and campaign finance reform are important to you, then I ask you to vote for me in the Runoff
Election on January 12, 2010.
The man who recently resigned from this office bragged about
having an improper relationship with a lobbyist for an energy corporation whose industry he was supposed to be helping to
regulate. Although not every elected official might choose to illustrate this metaphor so directly, nearly all take
money from lobbyists. I won't! I simply will not take their money because I am running to represent you and not
them.
California needs a new energy plan based on clean, renewable power. We need health
care without insurance companies getting in the way. We need a long term solution to bring water to our cities without
harming our natural environment. Last year Prop. 8 took away constitutionally guaranteed rights for the first time in
our state's history. This shameful action must be reversed to restore the right of marriage to lesbian and gay couples.
Public transportation has been cut terribly while huge sums of money are given to widen freeways that are still jammed
with cars. Elect me to work for real mass transit.
Please join me in campaigning for the
California we all know we can have if we work together, not twenty years in the future, but now!
