When I was first elected to the Walnut Valley Unified School District board, the district was broke and had received a negative budget certification.
It took tough leadership to stop the fiscal bleeding, balance the budget, build a rainy day reserve and maintain some of the highest academic standards in the state.
In the Assembly, I'll use my business skills to help government become more efficient. I'll start by advocating a revote on the $100 billion high-speed rail boondoggle.
