Cunningham has common-sense solutions for issues

jjohnston@thetribunenews.com

Assembly candidate Jordan Cunningham grew up here on the Central Coast and is now raising his four young children here. He knows the challenges of living on a budget and understands you cannot spend more than you take in. Cunningham realizes the money our California lawmakers spend comes directly out of the pockets of the hard-working taxpayers. This philosophy is needed in Sacramento now more than ever.

Jordan Cunningham has served San Luis Obispo County as a deputy district attorney and has seen, firsthand, the challenges facing our sheriff and police departments and what it takes to keep our community safe.

Cunningham also serves on a local school board. He has seen just how difficult it is for local parents and teachers to provide a quality K-12 education at a reasonable cost when lawmakers in Sacramento force expensive one-size-fits-all laws down onto our local schools.

We need an assemblyman with common-sense solutions for education, public safety and tax policy. We need Jordan Cunningham as our representative in the California Assembly.

Tim Farrell, San Luis Obispo
