My Interests:

Reading, hanging out with my husband and kids, going to Yosemite.

Political Skills:

I started Central Valley Hopefuls, a Merced-based progressive group, when I lived in Merced (until June 2006). We met monthly and were very active politically. We co-sponsor a weekly peace vigil with MAD (Merced Associated Democrats), met with Rep Cardoza or his staff about a variety of issues, have organized petition drives, etc. and helped launch Merced Alliance for Responsible Growth (MARG) which is fighting a proposed Wal-Mart distribution center and a proposed NASCAR type racetrack in the farmlands!
