Candidate for
Member; County Board of Education; Trustee Area 3

Thank you for taking the time to understand my candidacy for reelection to the Orange County Board of Education. I appreciate your time and effort to be familiar with your elected representatives.

To begin, it is an honor and pleasure to serve you the people of Orange County. Leadership begins with being a servant and doing what is best for the community your represent. This community values the family as an institution because we know it is the bedrock of civilization. To this end, as a family physician and law enforcement officer I give high priority to the safety and well-being of our children. I have always defended the sanctity of marriage between a man and woman, and the Hippocratic oath compels me to defend the sanctity of human life.

Under my leadership, the Orange County Board of Education: 1) built a county deaf school at University High School-Irvine, 2) strengthened county field science and environmental study programs, 3) established a county character education program promoting civic virtue, respect and ethics, 4) implemented a "back-to-basics" education philosophy, 5) established with the California National Guard a military school for high school delinquents.

I support Proposition 13 and led our board with sound fiscal decisions while opposing new taxes and expensive bonds. As a sworn law enforcement officer in the city of San Clemente and Orange County, student and campus safety is my top concern. As a result, Orange County's juvenile criminal activity is reduced and gang membership is down 200%.

I advance American patriotism, the "spirit of the Declaration of Independence" and policies recognizing the phrase "one nation under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance. I support Boy Scout meetings at our schools, the sanctity of human life, and traditional marriage in school curriculums.

I am running for reelection to represent the district's priorities and values. Orange County Supervisor Bill Campbell, Orange County DA Tony Rackauckas, Congressman Ed Royce, Assemblyman Todd Spitzer, and State Senator Dick Ackerman endorse me. I appreciate your vote.

May God bless you and America.
