Seven days ago, I signed a Clean Campaign Pledge because I believe residents in Santa Barbara and Ventura deserve to have a dialogue about the real issues. I am concerned about the negative tone and believe we should rise to the challenges of cleaning up our state, not contributing to the mess by throwing mud.

California faces serious challenges and we need new leadership to bring about positive change. Politicians are spending too much time bickering with each other, pointing fingers and posting personal attacks on Facebook, when they should be helping our schools, creating new jobs, expanding health care and strengthening environmental protections.

We need to change the broken politics in Sacramento that has produced record budget deficits, historic educational cuts and that has eviscerated services for seniors and people with disabilities. I'm running for the Assembly to turn our state around and be a part of the change.

That is why I pledged to run a clean campaign and asked my opponent to join me in doing the same. Tonight, I also signed the Santa Barbara Democratic Party's Fair Campaign Pledge.

I ask you to join my new Facebook Group "Keep it Clean in AD35," and show your support for a new kind of politics, a new kind of leadership focused on getting results.

Please click HERE to join "Keep it Clean in AD35" and ask your friends to join too.

Together we can bring about the positive change that our state so desperately needs.

Thank You,

Das Williams
