Not only is John a pillar and leader in his community, he’s also married with 6 Children, 2 Grandchildren, 5 Godchildren… and with your help can be the next congressman for 760,000 GREAT people of California’s 39TH Congressional District.
A Vision For The Future
Like you, I too am worried about the direction our country is being led in by many in Washington who do not share, appreciate, defend and reflect our American values and do not respect our Constitution. I entered this election race to add one more rational voice in Congress before it is too late and before the transformation of our society and government is irreversible.
