With both our state and national economy in crisis, it’s always interesting to hear local candidates talk about their economic plans and visions. In the important race for the California 19th Senate seat, Democratic candidate Hannah-Beth Jackson has been totally unwilling to address this issue.

Every mail piece, commercial, door hanger and ad I have seen refuses to talk about the one thing that matters most to the voters of this district: the economy.

Tony Strickland continues to promote new ideas for renewable energy and tax relief for local businesses and working familiesThe old, failed policies of Sacramento need to be replaced with a fresh new economic perspective and people willing to discuss their views on this important issue.  Tony Strickland is the best choice for our district and for our state.
