From Sacramento to Washington DC, a culture of corruption has infected politics.
It’s not just Democrats or Republicans.
It’s a campaign finance system that permits politicians to funnel dark money through "legal" channels to circumvent campaign finance limits and rig the process.
The players know the game. They are good at it. But their “political games” are a direct threat to the quality of our representation.
Here's my commitment to San Diego voters:
I'll push for campaign finance reforms that put power back in the hands of voters instead of political insiders.
I’ll promote election reforms like the recently approved Measures K and L that strengthen voters’ voices at the ballot box.
I'll call out political games on both the left and the right, whenever I see them.
But challenging the rules that allow politicians to get elected because they are good at the game, instead of being good at solving problems, is another conversation I’m ready to lead.
This is just another reason the political establishment is not happy with my campaign.
But I’m not running for Mayor of San Diego to represent them. I’m running to represent voters like you.
That’s why I appreciate the outpouring of support for putting people’s interests before political interests.
