RECOMMENDATION - Maria Estrada - California State Assembly District 63 - Primary - June 5, 2018
The People's Alternative to Anthony Rendon
MEET Maria:
Hello friends and fellow activists. My name is Maria Estrada. I am an activist, a mother and a grandmother. I'm not a politician, I don't have aspirations to be a lifelong politician, but I am tired.
Tired of the status quo, the decline in our standard of living, the decline in our environment and our education system, and I am really tired of the politicians who have allowed our situation to worsen.
I am running in AD63 to represent the people in that district, and to remove the Speaker of the Assembly of California who has failed the 63rd and the people in California for denying us single payer healthcare.
We need someone who represents us, not corporate interests and the companies who are poisoning our communities. If given the opportunity I will fight for you as a mother, a grandmother, and as a Mexicana.
I am the sixth of seven children, mother of two, and a grandmother of two more.
I received my entire education in Lynwood, right here in the 63rd District.
I attended WIll Rogers Elementary School, Fred W. Hosler Junior High School, and grauated from Lynwood High School(back when it was located at Carlin and Bullis on the Compton border).
I started working in an office when I was 15 years old, and I graduated Lynwood High School in 1986, the same year that my first daughter was born.
District 63 has been poorly represented and I am here to say that I would like the opportunity to serve the people of the 63rd, mi gente, and help right some of the wrongs that have been occurring in this district for decades.
My parents are from San Buenaventura, Chihuahua, Mexico. They immigrated to California, worked hard, and eventually were able to purchase their first home in 1973 in Lynwood.
The purpose of our campaign is to bring awareness to the community and find solutions for the issues the people of the 63rd District are faced with. Environmental Justice, cleaning up the corruption in our local government, healthcare for Californians and empowering the community to make the 63rd a better place for our families.
Please join me and activists in the community to bring about positive change.
