Letter to the Editor: Maralyn Chase consistently attends 32nd District meetings

To The Editor:

I support Maralyn Chase for State Senator, 32nd LD. I see her as authentic, standing for the values I believe in. She has been working to fix our upside down tax system, the worst in the country, and will continue with our support. We can't fund what we need unless we broaden our revenue base in some fair and equitable fashion. Funding public education, transit and rail, addressing our skyrocketing housing prices and our homeless crisis, expanding broadband service, repairing our infrastructure, transitioning to green energy industry, require finally asking high earners and our huge corporations to pay their fair share.

Maralyn has consistently attended the monthly meetings of the 32nd, listened to members’ concerns and supported our resolutions, our endorsements of initiatives and candidates, and our decision-making in general. She has held numerous Town Halls on various topics – Environment, Healthcare, Transportation, Taxes, and others.

I never see her opponent, Jesse Salomon at 32nd meetings, never hear him speak or see him sign an initiative or support a resolution. When I look at his campaign, I wonder why he takes money from Monsanto, Chevron, health insurance companies, big developers, AT/T, and proponents of charter schools. I’m sticking with Maralyn Chase.
