Why should I support you if you are not [a Republican or Democrat] like me?If you think that your party is . . . How did you get into politics?I have always been the person who spoke out when something didn't seem right. I was always willing to speak up for the person who didn't want to speak up for themself. In many situations, I saw how we might do things better than we were doing them. I began my surgical practice in 1992 in Marysville (Yuba County), moving to Yuba City (Sutter County) from Los Angeles the same year. I joined the county medical society and came to the meetings. At a meeting in 1993 I asked my usual pointed questions. Afterward, the society leadership suggested that I should represent our area to the state association meeting as a delegate. I started in healthcare politics but expanded into political reform after spending many years working with our elected representatives. What elected offices have you held?I have been medical society president . . . MotivationWhy are you doing this? If you are a doctor, how do you have time for this? If you are elected, will you continue to practice as a surgeon? |
