Isn't it time to stop putting the experienced politician back in office?? It seems even with the experience, they don't fulfill their promises or obligations to the citizens of their districts.
My name is Wendy Maier. I own and operate a successful deli in downtown Pomona and I reside in Ontario. I am interested in making changes in order for our government to be more responsive to our communities needs.
My main goals are finding real solutions to issues that concern all the people in the state of California, especially those in the 61st Assembly district, which covers the cities of Chino, Montclair, Pomona, and Ontario.
We must control our spending. Sacramento has a huge spending problem. We have to balance a sensible budget without raising taxes.
As a small business owner, I see why many of us find it hard to stay in business. We are taxed to the extreme. We need to become business friendly and entice businesses back into California instead of driving them out to other states.
The education of our children is very important to me. As a former educator, my eyes were opened to the challenges our young people face due to our failing education system. Our youth are the most important asset we have in the country. They are our future.
The safety of the people in our cities is imperative. We must always maintain a zero tolerance for gangs and violence. My Dad is a retired police officer, and my brother is in law enforcement. I was a volunteer firefighter in New York for several years.
I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Elementary Education. I taught 2nd and 6th graders. For 6 years, I taught incarcerated youths. I was a youth counselor on a cruise ship for 7 years. I coached Basketball, Softball, and Volleyball for several years. I was on the board of the Ontario Fast Pitch. I am a member of the Pomona Chamber of Commerce, and I am a member of the Board of Directors of the Pomona Boys and Girls club.
Every Friday, during the hours of 6pm to 8pm, I will be at New York Delight, 310 So. Thomas Street, Pomona, Ca 91766. Please feel free to stop by. I can be reached at (909) 643-6428 or wendymaier@yahoo.com.

My name is Norma Torres and I am the current mayor of Pomona. I also work as a bilingual 9-1-1 dispatcher and instructor for the Los Angeles Police Department. Previously, I served as a member of Pomona's city council.
Throughout my career in public service I have fought to protect the public safety to make Pomona a better place to live. In 1994, I led the effort to require the hiring of bilingual 9-1-1 operators at the LAPD. I also passed the state's first ordinance regulating where convicted sex offenders were allowed to live. The ordinance prevented sex offenders from living near Pomona's schools and businesses or together in large group homes.
Ending the cycle of gang violence has also been a top priority. As mayor, I imposed gang injunctions limiting gang member activities. I have also been working with the community to increase police cooperation in crime-ridden neighborhoods.
Finally, I helped to restore firefighting positions in Pomona to ensure that fire shifts are fully staffed and firefighters are properly equipped to respond to fire and emergency calls.
California is facing a lot of challenges right now: budget cuts to our most needed social services, exorbitant gas prices, a crisis in public education, an economy short on good-paying jobs, and a health care system that's failing too many families.
I see the effects of those challenges on a daily basis. I have spent years working to remedy many of these issues at the local level. My experiences taught me that if you identify a problem, build a coalition, and work to solve it, there's no limit to what you can accomplish.
I'm ready to take that lesson to Sacramento. The 61st district should be represented by a problem-solver with close ties to the community and a real understanding of the challenges California's working families face every day. My experiences in public safety, local government and as a working mother of three make me uniquely qualified to understand, serve and represent our district in the state assembly.
I hope you will join me in my effort to work toward real solutions for working families. There is too much at stake to risk fighting the same old battles while nothing is solved.

My name is Michael Mendez and I am the endorsed Libertarian candidate for the 61st state assembly district. I reside in Montclair. The 61st state assembly district currently covers the cities of Chino, Montclair, Ontario, Pomona and other small portions of adjoining regions of San Bernardino county and Los Angeles county. I understand this government position is as a representative of citizens from the 61st state assembly district in regards to Sacramento. I can be a peace-keeper and I am beholden to no established state political structure. My professional background is mostly in groundwater-researching locations for new wells or researching groundwater concerns of existing wells. I currently work at a Carl Zeiss Vision lab. I enjoy overseeing projects and I am invigorated by setting an order to chaos.
I am blessed with abundant energy and I tend to be optimistic. I am a perpetual student. I am not a politician. I would be a little myopic in the beginning of this type of position, but soon would pick up the flow of the legislative environment. At this moment, my immediate concerns for the 61stwould be to curb the violence in our cities and to make sure of the secure treatment of our injured soldiers from military zones of combat. I have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy hearing the various concerns of the citizens of the 61st-far after this campaign is over. I am happy with life and look forward to the future of our district, the 61st. Thank you for your attention.
