I believe that too much political campaign contribution money has caused an un-level playing field for citizens running for office. Yet, our government will not let me run for office without paying! – – –FILING FEE: If you would like to hire me to represent you in the U.S. House of Representatives, then I ask you to help me pay the Secretary of State a $1,740.00 filing fee plus a minimum of 40 nominating signatures. (See next page for a sample of the form that can be used for the 40 nominating signatures.)CANDIDATE’S STATEMENT: The Primary Candidate’s names are listed in an English and Spanish sample ballot that is mailed to your home before the Primary Election. Each candidate’s statement can list their qualifications and/or positions next to their name. In past elections, I couldn’t understand why so many candidates left this block next to their name blank. Well, in order to list a 250 word candidate statement, the government will charge me$4,013.63 in Monterey County, $1,938.00 in Santa Cruz County and $450 in San Benito County.OTHER CAMPAIGN COSTS:Did you know that Art Dunn, Mike Lebarre, Jeff Taylor, Ron Kabat, Dan Caudle, Sam Farr and Eric Peterson ran for the House in our 2012 Congressional Primary?1.)

There weren’t any debates in Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties!2.)
