Jerry Brown for Governor

Jerry Brown is by far the most experienced and eligible candidate for governor in the upcoming election.

He has worked for decades in a variety of roles to better California. He has fought for clean energy, equal rights and an open and honest legislative process.

Brown knows the importance of using money in the most appropriate places. In fact, state funding for higher education, including community colleges, more than doubled during his eight years as governor. He knows how to navigate Sacramento and will do so with the interest of California’s citizens in mind.

Brown faces an opponent with seemingly unlimited funds to spend on misleading attacks and vague promises. As the election approaches, it’s clear Meg Whitman will stop at nothing to buy the Governor’s office.

Brown, on the other hand, understands the threat of money in politics and has campaigned successfully with limited funds.

Brown has the experience, knowledge and know-how to get the state working again. He is a true servant to the people of California. Under Brown, Californians saw their tax burden reduced by more than $16 billion. He indexed the personal income tax, eliminated the business inventory tax and offered energy tax credits.

Some believe that California needs an outsider with business experience to run government, but that’s been tried before, with poor results. This state needs a leader who can manage the system, somebody who will act in the best interests of the people.

Brown has no hidden agenda that would lead him to mislead the public while pandering to special interests. He is motivated by his desire to leave a shining legacy after a lifetime of public service. So on Nov. 2, vote for Jerry Brown.
