Annalisa Temple is running for California State Assembly in order to offer pragmatic solutions to the problems that confront our local families and businesses in these challenging times. Many key budget concerns are not being addressed by her opponent and other elected officials because they are receiving money from the groups that oppose reform and benefit from status quo. Annalisa pledges to not receive campaign money from any special interest groups that she will have to make legislative decisions about once elected.
By supporting Annalisa’s campaign for the 21st Assembly District, you are supporting a quality Republican candidate for public office, who in turn will put your ideas of lower taxes, smaller government, and personal responsibility back into California State government. It is time for common sense to prevail once again in our region!
The 21st District now encompasses all or part of 13 cities in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, including San Carlos, Redwood City, Atherton, Portola Valley, Woodside, Menlo Park, East Palo Alto, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, the Almaden Valley of San Jose, and Stanford University.
