Who else is going to do this job.
Call me Hojo, join me for change. I served 20+ honorable years in the United States Navy. I retired honorable, but disable. I was on the lead carrier, the USS MIDWAY during operation Desert Shield/storm. I have been around the world and visited many countries.
I worked many jobs. I was a taxi driver in Japan, security guard in Philadelphia, A photographer/club manager/cashier/cook's helper.
My name is Howard Johnson (Hojo); I will be the first African-American of Buddhism, to become a County Supervisor in the 21st. I have reliable and dependable leadership. The County of San Diego board of Supervisors is in need of changes. I will bring back honor and respect to our citizens. I am for term limits to break the stranglehold that power-hungry career politicians enjoy. Hojo will make San Diego County better for families. Hojo will make affordable health care for all. Hojo support a woman's right; gay & lesbian rights; dignity, respect and hope for this land of immigrants. Protect public safety, bring back the five wild fire camps, stop corruption and protect all Americans. People are struggling. They're working different shifts, days/nights. They're trying to get by without health care--living paycheck to paycheck--losing health, homes. The savings of many years for a lot of families are gone. Unemployment is high, homeless citizens are greatly increasing. I was a First Class Sailor, a Deputy Recorder, 2006 candidate for Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk, CEO/COO/Treasurer and Supervisor for my fund raising organization: http://www.VoteforBetterLeadership.com I am a father of five and married for over 27 years.
