BIOGRAPHY

• I am a legal immigrant, and have lived in California for 33 years. I am a mother of two children; both are college graduates. I was trained in The Netherlands, Europe, as a registered nurse.

• I became a child advocate shortly after I set out to fill the need for quality longterm nursing care homes for children in my community.

• In 1989 I established and operated two pediatric care facilities. One was a 24-hour, Emergency Shelter Home for abused and neglected children, located in Oakland and the other was an Nursing Care Facility in Richmond, licensed by The State Health Dept.
  Having experienced the unequal and limited access to long term nursing care for minority children, I became a political activist in 2000.

• I decided to run for this seat in CD-7, because the incumbent, George Miller has demonstrated over 38 long years that he is out of touch with the needs of a significant portion of his constituency and many of his neglectful policies are disastrous to traditional families and our communities.

• As your Congresswoman, I have great plans for rebuilding the inner cities of the 7th Congressional District that have deteriorated under very high crime rates and unsafe conditions due to decades of neglect by the incumbent.

• I’m a proud, Reagan style conservative with common sense and I am running for Congress as a citizen politician; Not a lawyer!

• If you are a proud American citizen and stand for limited government intrusion, justice and equallity under the US Constitution, can I count on YOUR support?
