Candidate’s Statement:
I joined CAPE on the very first day I started working for LA County, March 23, 1981, more than 44 years ago today.
I have served as Secretary and presently serving as Treasurer to the Board of Directors. As a current, Chairman of the CAPE Board of Trustees, I am proud of the continuous growth of the CAPE‐sponsored medical plans with Blue Shield of California. These plans have proven to be favorable to eligible participants due to its competitive rates and service Countywide.
I also served on numerous committee assignments with emphasis on employee rights, benefits, and fair salary compensation for over thirty plus years and acted on numerous roles and will continue serving for the best interest of our Association including Delegate Program.
As we currently negotiate with County Management regarding the Successor to our MOU’s, rest assured that the Negotiating Committee, in which I am a part of, will diligently address all the collected issues and demand for fair and equitable salary increases.
Along with other CAPE BOARD DIRECTORS, I am committed to fighting on your behalf, providing the best possible contract for our members, and improving our current salaries and benefits we have earned in the past, preserving our health insurance and retirement benefits.
Because of my 44‐year plus experience on CAPE’s membership and 30‐year plus as a Board Director, I am once again humbly seeking your continued support by re‐electing me back to CAPE BOARD of DIRECTORS.
