*** No candidate for Lt. Governor has been endorsed by the CDP ***
Growing up in an immigrant family, I was raised with a strong sense of patriotism. In no other country could my Greek immigrant family – and all immigrant families – come with nothing and be welcomed and celebrated as Americans. Where else could immigrants turn hard work and determination into a truly better life – buy a home, go to college, and live a life of pride and dignity? Only in America.
This Fourth of July, as a candidate for Lt. Governor, I’m even more determined to fight to keep the pathway of the American Dream open for all here in California. That means building an economy with better paying jobs and bringing down the cost of living – especially housing, healthcare, and higher education. It also means fighting for the values that make us who we are – equality, justice, freedom, and democracy.
As we celebrate our nation’s birthday, let’s help make sure all our friends and family are registered to vote on November 6th, so that together, we can perform one of the greatest acts of patriotism – voting!
Happy Fourth of July!
