The attached online book by Sam Liccardo (candidate for Congress in CA's 16th District) explains in detail his thoughts and suggestions for improvement in issues like Homelessness, Safety and Cost of Living among others. Sam did the same thing (wrote a book outlining his plans) before serving as a two term mayor (term limited) Mayor of San Jose, CA...his second term was won with 76% of the vote...can't get that without a lot of Independents and Republicans....i.e. he delivered on his plans.
Mayors have to deliver in the 'Real World'...he did that...and his background as a Santa Clara County Prosecutor - which included sex crime cases - and a graduate of Harvard's Kennedy School of Public Policy, shows that his mission in life is to be a public servant...and a leader.
My comments are based on personal experience and results delivered. I encourage you to read Sam's online book (attached)...not because any other poster would be voting for him, but because IMO he's an example of what to look for when deciding who's going to get your vote in any upcoming election.
