STOCKTON, CA –As a San Joaquin farmer and engineer for the state of California, I am well aware of the impact of state policies on the daily lives of San Joaquin residents. I am committed to advocating for job growth, business investment as well as transparent and fiscally responsible state policies. To get my degree in engineering, I attended Delta College and San Jose State University.

With over thirty years of experience in the engineering and administrative field, including twelve years as an engineer at the State of California Department of Water Resources dealing with distribution of water to cities and counties, I am experienced with the state of California bureaucracy in Sacramento. As San Joaquin Farmer since 1982 and a member of the California Farmer Bureau, I have owned and farmed over 200 acres, growing walnuts, grapes, plums, cherries and vegetables.

Also, I participated in California Agriculture Export Program, as the owner and operator of an agriculture business that exported hundreds of tons of California grown wheat and potatoes. My experience with the state of California and background in engineering, farming and international business will make it possible for me to bring state and federally funded economic development programs to San Joaquin County, as well as attract foreign investment in the high-tech and agri-business sectors. Greater investment in our community will lead to higher property values, more jobs, better education and greater opportunity for all resident of San Joaquin County.

I am running for congress to make a change in the failed policies of our Federal Government. Notable is our government’s surrendering to the Taliban in Afghanistan and accepting defeat that ill behoves a superpower. Other significant failures relate to the increase in homelessness, small business failures and increase in out-of-control prices in gas and food in our San Joaquin County, California. With my international and domestic business experience, I will work to solve the homeless problem by providing shelters and jobs, reduce taxes, improve Medicare system for older people, improve social security system, improve foreign policy and bring back all manufacturing companies who left for China and other countries.

United States was founded on promoting freedom and democracy and protecting human rights around the world. Three most prominent goals of American foreign policy are Security, Prosperity and creation of better world which includes diplomacy, military and security policy, international human rights policies, and economic policies such as trade policy and international energy policy.

United States’ foreign policy under President Biden has miserably failed. In the case of the Ukraine war, US Administration showed sheer incompetence in fighting with Congress to give $61bn to Ukraine to keep Russia at bay. In the Middle East, United States’ repeated veto on the U.N. Security Council’s ceasefire resolution on Israel-Hamas war in Gaza has left our country isolated and in danger of losing the support of our allies. Our negative vote in the United Nations General Assembly resolution hurt our image internationally and made us look like partners in Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and other war crimes. Out of the 193-member states of the U.N, only 13 voted against the U.N. ceasefire resolution. The U.S. was one of those 13 countries. Our image is badly tarnished as, in addition to the vetoes, our government has given Israel all those lethal weapons with which that country is committing the genocide of Palestinians. Israel’s war crimes have been caught on camera and shown to the whole world. Israel has openly defied our long-standing policy of a two-state solution of the problem. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other important Israeli officials have said openly that they will never allow a state of Palestine into being. Despite such insult to our government, the Biden administration continues to support Israel financially, militarily, and diplomatically. As a member of the U.S. Congress, I will work to restore our government’s prestige and respect globally. I will also devise legislation to make our country strong economically and a superpower in true sense of the word. That is the wish of each and every American
