Response

When elected, I will represent all individuals in the 36th Congressional District. I am a firm believer that true equality sees no preference. We should be represented in Congress, according to the United States Constitution, and the needs of our communities. I’m against big lobby, special interests, and I am a grassroots candidate. It’s time we have leaders in D.C. who are regular people from our communities, not the many elites we have now. I believe now is our time. I am also open to input from the community once elected. We all may have different needs and see issues in our area that need addressing Federally. I want to help make impact—for us all. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to earn your vote. erincruz.org
