Press release from V. Jesse Smith Candidate for Mayor for the City of Palmdale

My grandmother instilled in me a principle that “a people without a vision shall perish.” Equally true is a city without a vision shall perish. It’s time for a change in Palmdale.

As your next Mayor, I have a vision for change in our city, which includes keeping crime down, supporting affordable housing, and creating a strong and vibrant economy.

My vision for change includes, but is not limited, to the following:

Youth: They are 40% of our population, but 100% of our future. Let’s build a state of the art youth facility that includes sport, play, academic achievement, training for career jobs, and leadership development;

Livable and sustainable jobs: Creation of manufacturing jobs for Palmdale residents to thrive, and not just survive; and support of our existing businesses;

Immigration Reform: Ensure our city does not target our immigrant community; support immigrants seeking a pathway to citizenship, and DACA students pursuing the American Dream.

Permanent re-opening of Palmdale Airport: A commitment to re-open our Palmdale Airport.

As Mayor, I bring with me leadership, integrity and accountability to this noble and servant position.

I ask for your vote on November 6, 2018. Vjessesmithforchange.com Vjessesmithformayor2018.com
