Sacramento could use more legislators, like her, who have a deep knowledge of economic policy, the brainpower to develop new ways to create jobs, and the ability to get things done.” “Tom Calderon has had a remarkable career dedicated to serving the residents of his community,” said Healey. “I am pleased to count him as one of my key endorsers, and I look forward to going to Sacramento and working with him on the issues our communities care most about, like more good jobs, better schools, and getting our economy back on track.” Former Assemblyman Tom Calderon previously represented California’s 58th Assembly District from 1998-2002 and previously served on the Montebello Unified School District.

Working families are stressed by the instability of their jobs, and mounting foreclosures have devastated our home values. Our government must get down to business. I believe I can offer real solutions before we run out of time. During these tough times I coordinated the largest renewable energy workforce training in the State of California, which re-trained displaced workers in the construction industry in State Certified green building technologies which resulted in one of the highest job placements (over 50%) statewide. As as a former Deputy State Controller, I worked to root-out waste, fraud and abuse in government, in order to make sure our state gets the most out of its financial resources. When I take my place as an elected representative of our community, I'll lead our fight to make Sacramento more efficient, and take swift action to fuel small businesses, protect our senior citizens, fix our schools, and stabilize the lives of working families. I have a seasoned track record of knowing how to do it, and I will work hard to make that happen. |
