		<description>No way would I support a progressive candidate with a liberal agenda. The last thing we need is to be like Seattle or Portland and that&#039;s what you get when you elect left wing politicians or city attorneys and sheriffs. Do we really want a DA like L.A. DA Gascon? Heather Carter might not be as far left as one might think, but I would argue that progressive policies are largely to blame for most of the problems we have at the state and local level. Its no accident that people are fleeing California in record numbers.</description>

We, his constituents contacted him on a lot of District 3 issues since he was elected and he was very receptive and was on it with positive results. He is  lot better than previous politicians in District 3. Fyi. I am neither a conservative or a liberal. I just want action on issues from an elected official and Poochigian delivers.</description>

Poochigian does nothing for his constituents.  I tried to contact him about a city issue and he couldn&#039;t be bothered.</description>

No transplants and more so from a now (used to be beautiful) ghetto city like Seattle. I recommend that everyone visit Seattle nowadays and see what it is now. I am also a transplant.
At least you have Poochigian that is a local that was born here and grown here and has the best interest of his community. He is invested in the community and has done a lot for District 3 since elected. You cannot beat that. Vote for Poochigian!</description>

Defund the police was actually a poor choice of wording.  It was incorrectly promoted, should have been promoted as restructuring police funds with more mental health response training and hiring trained crisis workers to work along side officers when responding to crisis situations.  It&#039;s old school but it worked for many years before the shoot first and ask questions later mentality was promoted.  Mental Health Crisis Intervention Workers made a difference when it came to saving and protecting human lives. We need to get back to that as a society.</description>

So only people with a mother that happened to pop out a baby in 93292 or 93291 or 93277 zip codes gets to run for office in Visalia in your world?  Everyone else is a &quot;carpet bagger?&quot;  You must be very frustrated living in California, where most of us are &quot;carpet baggers.&quot;</description>

		<description>All canidates need to address the issues surrounding climate change and our planning policies that will be needed to address the problems associated with  climate change .  Seems to me, anyone concerned with climate change is considered liberal...survivor is a better word.  We need the Heather Carters of the world while we still have one to live in.</description>
