Hello Mr. Castanares,<\/span><\/p>\n

The Latino American Political Association’s decision to endorse John McCann for Mayor of Chula Vista was an easy one.\u00a0 Mr. McCann met all the prerequisites LAPA views as essential for an endorsement.\u00a0 We don’t endorse based on race or ethnicity, but on the candidates history of engaging with their community.\u00a0 What have they done to improve the lives of their constituents?\u00a0 If they have been in office and are running for re-election is their community better off now than it was prior to taking office?\u00a0 What are the proven results for the actions or votes they have taken?<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. McCann’s years of service to the community of Chula Vista has a proven record of not only helping the entire community but specifically the Latino community.\u00a0 Latinos start businesses at a faster rate than any other demographic in California.\u00a0 He has helped over 200 Latino businesses with permits and business issues over the years\u2026 an example is Malania Lowe of the Otay Ranch Markets Nights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crime and safety is a priority to Latinos and everyone in Chula Vista.\u00a0 Mr. McCann’s leadership has made Chula Vista one of the safest communities in the county.\u00a0 He has worked with police for recruitment of officers with a focus on the Latino community so our officers will mirror the fabric and diversity of our community.\u00a0 This is one reason the Chula Vista police have endorsed him.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has also been very instrumental in addressing housing issues.\u00a0 One specific case was a family who was trying to build a granny flat in the back of their home for their mother. They were 31 ft. short.\u00a0 McCann took the initiative to search state regulations to see how to get the granny flat built. The result was an elderly Latina grandmother was able to keep her dignity and independence and yet be close enough for help, if needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

John McCann has coached and mentored youth via soccer teams as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He also is against the vehicle mileage tax with the understanding that any additional fees or taxes have a direct impact his community.\u00a0 Chula Vista is comprised of a diverse middle\/lower income community.\u00a0 This demographic will feel the impact of a VMT the hardest.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. McCann’s\u00a0 continued leadership and fiscal responsibility is why LAPA\u00a0 supports John McCann for mayor.<\/span><\/p>\n
