Linda "Ellie" Black For CA Assembly District 27
We The People can take back our country! But we must do it together.
I'm running for Assembly in the 27th district to get California's finances back in balance, our schools educating, and our businesses growing again. State taxes, regulations, public employee pensions, teachers' pay and incentives must change to make this happen. Professional politicians like my opponent have grown state government to over 500 agencies, feeding it with income and sales taxes (now over 9%) -- and still the state is in constant financial crisis. And they want more.
We need to send farmers, business owners, teachers, doctors, engineers, and working mothers and fathers into elected positions. These are people who live in the real world and experience the impact of government policy. These people from the private sector are the ones who understand how to create things from the ground up, and maintain them, be it a family, a business, or a thriving classroom. They understand that government is supposed to work for them, not the other way around!
I am a self-made business owner of 10 years and I know what it takes for organizations of any size to run efficiently and productively. My background is in business management, budgeting, and marketing. I understand how finances work.
I will not be receiving large contributions from labor unions, drug companies, and other sources that most candidates fund their campaigns with. I refuse to "owe" these types of organizations anything. I need, and prefer, many smaller donations from real people. If you cannot donate money, your time and energy are just as valuable! If you can help with my campaign in any way please JOIN US and let us know how you would like to help.
