CANDIDATE'S STATEMENT

Don't let money and special interests steal the governor's mansion. A vote for me is a vote against the recall process and a vote for democratic principles.

Under our outdated recall law, Governor Davis may be denied his legitimately earned role, even if voters prefer him to some fringe candidate. Such a result is hypocrisy, not democracy.

Governor Davis may be unpopular, but he is the lawfully elected leader of our state. I am the only candidate who will appoint Davis as Chief of Staff in charge of the day-to-day governance of California, the job he was duly elected to do.

If you oppose the recall process, if you believe in the democratic principle of full and fair elections - vote for me.
