"I am running for Congress because I believe our community’s best interests are not being represented in Washington, D.C.

My opponent, David Dreier, claims to support the middle class, but his voting record tells a different story. In the past year, he voted against equal pay for women and protections for consumers from unscrupulous credit card companies. Most recently he voted no to the $26 billion aid package to states, which is saving hundreds of thousands of teachers and other publicworkers from unemployment.

Funny, Dreier had no problem approving President Bush’s $700 billion bank bailout. See for yourself who he is truly beholden by visiting www.opensecrets.org.

Dreier is the 20th richest member of Congress, so it’s not surprising he has no idea how hard it can be in these tough economic times.

I know what it’s like to struggle. Like many Americans, I was downsized in the 80s. My wife, Kris, and I invested the family savings in Warner International Periodical Services and grew it into one of the top niche magazine distribution companies.

As a small businessman, father of three boys and 30-year resident of Rancho Cucamonga, I will draw on my life experiences to serve as a true representative of the district. My top priority is to restore America’s competitive edge by creating the jobs of the 21st century right here in our community.
