The 79th District is 43% Democrat and 29% Republican, but that did not stop the Republican Party. The two Republicans Matt Mendoza and Mary England take two of the top three spots in the 79th District California State Assembly Race. Shirley Weber was the only Democrat who made it in the top three. Matt Mendoza is an Conservative who is endorsed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and the Republican National Hispanic Assembly.

San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/15/2012 -- Two Republicans make it to the top three spots in the 79th State Assembly race. Mary England came in a close second with 29% of the vote and Matt Mendoza came in third with 13% of the vote. This must have been rather surprising to Local Political Analyst John Dadian, who was quoted in a May 25th article in the Mission Times Courier stating "It's a strong possibility that a Republican could be the odd man out". The title of the article was "79th District May Be a Race Between Democrats", which was written by Michael Stetz. What's even more astonishing is that Mendoza was a true grass roots organization with very little money; his campaign only spent $5820.00. The Democrat Rudy Ramirez spent $140,408.06 for his campaign, and Pat Washington spent $ 30,950.68 for her campaign and Sid Voorakkara spent $188,324.42 and all of them came in behind Mendoza.

However, to Matt Mendoza it was no surprise; he stated "I believe we will start to see some amazing changes in the upcoming elections" Mendoza added, "The people of San Diego are fed up with the unemployment, poor economy, and high taxes". The citizens now have an opportunity before November's election to carefully consider which leaders, no matter what party affiliation they are, that can lead us out of this financial train wreck we are currently in. To look at the individual, and see if they have the experience and leadership to do the right thing for the people of California and not the Special interest groups.

California has been prominently democratically run for years and this is where it has gotten us. It is time to give Republicans a chance in cleaning this mess up. Republicans have had a bad rap about not being for the people, and only for businesses. The truth is Republicans are the party for the people. Republicans know you have to let the business be successful, so they have the funds to hire new people and grow their business. The more new jobs are created, the more the citizens will have money to turn around and put back into the economy.

Republicans are also for fewer taxes, so the citizens can keep more of their hard earned money. Mendoza states "we need our leaders to cut spending, and no that doesn't mean Teaching jobs, Police Officers, or Firefighter jobs. What it does mean is when our leaders need to have a meeting; they do not need to fly to Hawaii to have it. They can just as easy have it locally at a school house or local hotel conference room and save tens of thousands of tax payers' dollars. Cuts can also happen, by our government just being more frugal, we do not need to pay $50.00 for a hammer. This is just a few frivolous examples. But the list goes on and on. We pay enough taxes; we just need to have a budget, which puts the money in the right places. Now is the time for the people of San Diego to seriously consider changing parties in time to vote in the November election". Mendoza states "it will improve your living conditions"

Matt Mendoza will continue to fight for the people of San Diego, keep checking in on his website to see what's next for Mendoza at http://www.MattMendoza.US

He is running against Mary England, Rudy Ramirez, and Shirley Weber. HOWARD JARVIS TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION AND THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL HISPANIC ASSOCIATION knows that Matt Mendoza is the best one for the job

San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/24/2012 -- Matt Mendoza, conservative candidate for State Assembly 79th District, has been endorsed by both The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association led by Kris Vosburgh and The Republican National Hispanic Assembly led by Richard Loa.

Kris from The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association states in his endorsement letter, "We believe you (Matt Mendoza) will be an excellent representative for taxpayers and look forward to working with you in the years ahead".

On The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association organization website it states, The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is dedicated to the protection of Proposition 13 and the advancement of taxpayers' rights, including the right to limited taxation, the right to vote on tax increases and the right of economical, equitable and efficient use of taxpayer dollars.

The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association continues their important work, and with the constant pressure from government for higher taxes, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association's role as the legal and political watchdog over Proposition 13 is more important than ever. That's why it is so important to vote in representatives that will continue the good work of protecting Proposition 13, and not bend to special interest group or waiver on their commitment to the people.

Matt Mendoza is a man of great character who can be trusted to protect Proposition 13 and the American Tax Payer by standing firm on not supporting any legislation on raising taxes. Matt also, believes California is broken, and he knows it will require taking on big government in three areas, overtaxing, overspending and over regulation. As Californians we must push for an annual balance budget. For more information about The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, visit their website at www.hjta.org

Loa from The Republican National Hispanic Assembly states in his endorsement letter, "We firmly believe that your (Matt Mendoza) strong commitment to conservative principles and your vision that Hispanic conservatives are vital to the future of the GOP is the leadership that California and the Republican Party needs in the years to follow".

On The Republican National Hispanic Assembly organization website it states, The Republican National Hispanic Assembly was founded for building a membership organization to foster the principles of the Republican Party in Hispanic communities; to provide Hispanic Americans with a forum to play an influential role in local, state, and national Party activities; to increase the number of Hispanic Republican elected officials; and to create and maintain a network of Hispanic Republican leaders.

After reviewing Matt Mendoza principles and leadership ability the Republican National Hispanic Assembly strongly believes that Matt Mendoza is the only candidate running for the State Assembly 79th District that can be an effective leader, not only for Hispanic citizens, but all citizens of the 79th District.
