A new investigative report by Circa, a news service for mobile devices, details how the U.S. General Services Administration is apparently auctioning off vehicles to the general public, despite the fact that these vehicles still have open recalls.
Vehicle recall response rates are already low. A federal law passed this summer (after years of legislative wrangling) requires rental car companies to repair any recalled vehicle before it is rented out. However, it remains legal for used car companies to sell vehicles that are under recall.
Still, one might expect the federal government to be held to a higher standard when it comes to distributing potentially dangerous products to the public. That's what makes the new report on the GSA so troubling.
The GSA gets its fleet from the thousands of government-owned cars that are retired by various agencies each year. Annually, between 35,000 and 40,000 are put up for public auction. Although used car dealerships often seize on these opportunities, such auctions are open to the public. Yet the types of defects these vehicles reportedly had are potentially deadly. For example, some vehicles still had open recalls for steering issues that had resulted in operators losing control. Others were still under recall due to their Takata airbags, which have the potential to deploy violently and spew metal shrapnel at drivers and front seat passengers. There were also a number of vehicles that investigators learned had engine failures that could result in the car stopping suddenly while it was in drive.
In some cases, the recall fixes would have been free. While the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) is the agency that issues notices of recall and informs the public of their duty to have these vehicle defects repaired, due to the safety risks they impose on everyone, the GSA is flouting these rules.
Circa used a fleet management company called AutoAp to help analyze the data they had received from the GSA about its fleet. Of the 2,037 vehicles the GSA put up for auction in August 2016, 427 still had open recalls. That's nearly 21 percent of the entire fleet.
Now, to be clear, there is nothing illegal about such sales. As our car accident lawyers noted earlier, it's not against the law to sell used cars with open recalls. Under federal law, it's only illegal for new car dealerships to sell vehicles with open recalls to the public.
GSA representatives released a statement saying they warn all bidders and buyers at the auctions that the vehicles in question may have outstanding recalls, and it is up to those individuals to look into the recall status of the vehicle.
Another troubling fact is that service tags on some of these vehicles indicate they were driven by federal government employees months or sometimes even years after the recall notices on those vehicles were issued. That means that not only were the federal workers at risk, but also so was everyone who shared the road with them before the vehicle was officially retired. Some of the agencies found to have allowed workers to drive recalled vehicles without fixing them include the U.S. Park Police, the U.S. Army, and numerous law enforcement agencies.
As a result of Circa's report, which was released in early October, U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC 11th District), Chairman of the Government Operations subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee, has said a federal investigation needs to be launched.
Meadows called it "troubling" that it took a news organization to uncover something federal agencies should have been taking steps to correct.

At the last census, more than half of all Americans self-reported some form of mental illness or behavioral health condition. Estimations are that the numbers are actually much higher, due to people either giving a false answer or simply being unaware of a condition they may be suffering. Between the demands of modern living and a greater recognition that emotional wellbeing is necessary for whole body health, mental health in Birmingham is also looking to close the gap between disparities for individuals with emotional health issues.
The Knowing Of Not Knowing
Through programs for mental health in Birmingham, individuals of all ages can begin to find a positive journey of coping, that can also impact long-term health and wellness, as well as personal, goals. Some of the main points that these types of programs can bring to light include:
- • Recognition of symptoms for mental illness
- • Coping mechanisms for developing neuroses, such as anxiety
- • Resources for support, including counseling and peer networks
- • Realization that one is not alone in this position
These not only help to bring candidates into a program that will be ultimately beneficial, but it also helps the acceptance factor for addressing emotional illnesses.
Another major point is the fact that many people with behavioral health issues are completely unaware of the fact that they are working through emotional factors that should have support. This also means that Alabama mental health supplies an integral diagnostic function, if only to direct candidates to specialists for a full evaluation and treatment plan. Further, the use of support networks in this manner also eases the transition to accepting help.
Recognition Of Life Anguish
For family members of individuals who could benefit from mental health in Birmingham, one of the first important points is also the recognition that a loved one is struggling. It can be important to remember that individuals with behavioral health needs will often develop masking mechanisms, which can downplay signs of depression, anxiety, and other mental conditions. For this reason, it is also important for family members to remain engaged, as this also presents opportunities for the individual to talk and ask for help.
Thankfully, the stigma of mental illnesses is beginning to lessen, especially as the recognition that common issues such as anxiety and depression still qualify under Alabama mental health. This makes it easier for people who are suffering to seek help, and for loved ones to support them in finding an answer to these chaotic thought forms.

- Jump rings
I drew a heart on some card stock scraps and cut it out to use as a template.
Then I cut out two hearts from some scraps of red felt I already had.
I hot-glued strings of red sequins to each of the hearts, making sure to cover the entire felt piece. I just went in a random zig-zag design, since the pieces were so small.
When both hearts were done, I attached the earring backs. First I added a jump ring onto each earring back, and then I hot-glued the jump ring to the back of the heart, covering it up with a smaller piece of felt to keep it secure. I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but it was my very first time making jewelry!
And in case you're curious about what my ear lobe looks like, here's the earring in action:

I really like the BLING effect of this earring! One way to hide the earring backs is to cover the back of the earring with sequins.

Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of real live actors from TV?s Golden Age who still see the world in black & white? in the NEW new media capital of the world? St. Petersburg, Florida!

If you?re my age, you know what it was like to watch TV shows such as ?My Three Sons? when they were originally broadcast in the 1960s and ?70s.
(And if you know my age, keep it to yourself. The truth hurts!)
Although I was the oldest of three siblings, I have to admit I always identified best with the youngest of actor Fred MacMurray?s three sons on the show, Ernie, played by my guest today, Barry Livingston.
Ernie wore the glasses, as did I, had issues with his teeth, as did I, and always seemed a bit awkward, as did I. And where he had Uncle Charley to keep him and his two older brothers out of trouble, I had my not-quite-as-grumpy grandfather.
It was, in TV terms, a kinder, gentler time, even as the Vietnam war, civil rights and the counterculture revolution raged in the real America.
Barry co-starred on the show with his older brother, Stanley, who played middle-son ?Chip.?
You can LISTEN to this interview with actor BARRY LIVINGSTON, star of MY THREE SONS, by clicking the audio player above!
Since those days, Barry Livingston has remained front and center in pop culture. He has a role in ABC?s hit drama, ?Castle,? and plays a part in Ben Affleck?s new film, Argo. He?s also appeared in episodes of ?Mad Men,? ?Two and a Half Men,? and movies such as Horrible Bosses and David Fincher?s film, The Social Network, about the origins of Facebook.
He?s also written a book, The Importance of Being Ernie: From My Three Sons to Mad Men, A Hollywood Survivor Tells All.

What Kind of Pets Will Pet Health Insurance Cover?
Perhaps you have recently realized that the cost of maintaining a healthy pet has skyrocketed. Not only veterinarian fees have increased but the tests they want to perform in order to diagnose your pet's maladies have also multiplied. After all who heard of MRI's and CAT scabs for household animals 10 years ago?
A pet health insurance plan can help you manage these costs especially if you are on a budget and do not have cash should your pet get really sick.
So where do you start? First you need to consider the types of pet health insurance available:
Accident Only
Accident and Illness
Wellness care
Senior Pets
Let's start with the type of pet. Cat health insurance is usually cheaper than dogs for several reasons: cats usually live indoors and seldom go outside. They are generally healthier than dogs (don't know why). They have a tendency not to get in trouble such as meaning eating foreign objects, choking or swallowing a bone, running after cars, etc. Could it be that cats are smarter?
Accident only. Not all companies offer accident only insurance but most policies will cover both accidents and illnesses. Accident only insurance tends to be cheaper and it will cover costs related to surgery.
Accident and illness. This is the most popular type of pet health insurance. Most policies (not all) will cover accidents the next day after approval, while other still have a waiting period. Illness coverage usually has a waiting period. The price of premiums depends on maximum dollar amount of coverage, deductibles etc.
Wellness care. This type of policy will cover accidents, illnesses and routing care such as vaccinations, annual check ups , spay/neuter, pregnancies etc. There might be exclusions on certain breeds and conditions so always check the fine print.
Senior Pets. Some companies have age limitations on pets ages but not all. If you shop around you will find companies that will insure your pet now matter the age. The only caveat is that they will not cover pre-existing conditions and your dog or cat may already have one. Nevertheless the policy will cover any new problems that may arise
Once you have an idea what category your pet falls into, you can start gathering facts that are required to get a free quote.

"Truth is the torch that gleams through the fog without dispelling it." -Helvetius
Are you feeling lost and confused? Do you have trouble understanding where certain painful feelings are coming from? Do you have trouble motivating yourself to make changes in your life? Do you worry about too many things beyond your control?
Navigating through the fog can be daunting. You don't need to do it alone! Together we will create a safe space that will enable us to truly understand why you sometimes feel lonely, afraid and unsafe.
We often use our defenses to suppress negative or vulnerable feelings and to safeguard ourselves. But sometimes, when we do this, we close ourselves off from new opportunities for inner growth and unintentionally hurt our relationships.
I use a blend of psychodynamic, attachment, behavioral, mindfulness and AEDP methodology. We will focus on accessing your inner strengths and resources so that we can begin to lift the fog and let in the light. Once that light starts streaming in, perspectives will start shifting, freeing you to feel more hopeful about your life.

It is a scientific fact (or should be) that all kids are obsessed with transportation. Of course adults are too, everyone wants a Ferrari and a private jet etc. What if you could give your kid their very own Amusement Park Ride-On Train! It is a miniature version of the train at amusement parks. It consists of 250 watt 24 volt electric motors with 3 freight cars that can connect to it. There are 4 seats in each car. This train can pull up to 1,600 pounds! The speed is adjustable, you can go fast or you can go slow, depending on the daredevil inside of you. This is awesome for birthday parties for the kids, or even just on rainy or sunny days when there's not much else to do but ride the train! Awesome kid stuff! Link

This Galveston beach bungalow style house was built in the 1930's. Sometime during the 1940's the bungalow was divided up into several 1 bedroom 'shotgun' style apartments.
The house, Oasis, now has three beautiful, but distinctly different apartments. Each one took on their own personality and feel as we restored and furnished them.
Apartment # 1 is lovingly referred to as 'Spice Island'. You will fall in love Spice Island's architectural features, from built in bookshelves, graceful arches to a stained glass window in the bathroom. Let the apartment's natural lighting and island breezes wash over you and transport you to simpler time and place.
The front porch is the perfect place to have a morning tea or coffee as you watch the sunrise over the water or relax in the cool evening breeze with a ginger beer or a vanilla shake.
Spice Island is perfectly located for all Galveston activities. A block away the historic Pleasure Pier, beach and seawall awaits you. The view from the porch will allow you to know right away if you should take your surf board or fishing pole with you to the water. If the beach is not on your agenda, a healthy walk or pleasant bike ride through the beautiful Silk Stocking district will take you to Galveston's historical downtown. Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Waterpark is a short 15m drive down the scenic seawall.
Clean open home in great location near water, parks, and food.
We loved this get away and will be going back!! Great location, quick walk to the beach or restaurants. Karen made sure everything was in excellent condition for our stay. Thank you!!
We enjoyed our stay, clean and close to the beach. Walking distance to the Pleasure Pier and Murdocks. We discovered beach towels, and washer and dryer downstairs on our third day there. Would definitely stay again.
Property as described. Keyless entry was great for going to the ocean. You can be from the front door to ocean in less then 5 min. Lots of places to eat within 10 min walk.
We absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect! Walking distance to the beach, Pleasure Pier, and restaurants! Will definitely visit again!
Very cute apartment! Shawna was wonderful! Very helpful and accommodating.
Galveston Island is a barrier island on the beautiful Texas coast, less than an hour south of Houston. Leave the hustle and bustle behind and step back in time to one of the most important cities on the gulf coast during the late 1800 hundreds. The amazing architecture and the beautiful ocean views are worth a visit all by themselves; then add in the next 100 years changes from pop culture to beach living and you have a perfect vacation waiting to happen. To top it all off the Historic Pleasure Pier is just across the street with all it's sites and sounds, restaurants and bars within walking distance.

As you may have guessed in light of the flurry of Google-related headlines on MMi today and elsewhere in the tech news space, Google's sixth annual developers conference kicked off today in San Francisco.
During the opening festivities of Google I/O, Sundar Pichai, senior vice president of Chrome and Apps at Google, dropped an Android-related bombshell: more than 900 million Android devices have now been activated. Not bad considering that this number stood at 400 million just one year ago, and 100 million the year before that.
People are adopting these devices at an amazing pace, Pichai revealed, reminding everyone that Android is still the No. 1 operating system for smartphones in the world. When you look at all of these computing devices, its a multi-screen world they have sensors, they can look, they can feel.
Incredibly, Google also confirmed today that 48 billion Android apps have now been downloaded. As Apple continues its high-profile countdown to 50 billion app downloads, it likely won't be longbefore Android catches and surpasses Apple's once dominant app download achievements.

from a collection of essays titled:
"AWOL From The Mommy Wars: Rantings of a Reluctant Stay-At-Home Mother"
Are you a good witch or a bad witch? Maybe I'm tempting an intellectual
property-infringement lawsuit from MGM by quoting that line, but it seems to
fit in this case. You're a mom, ergo a witch, but just how bad are you?
All moms have their good moments. We also have our witchy, satanic moments
that make us cringe when remembered. They seem to increase in frequency the
longer you try to do this job. Hell, after a few years of working on the
chain gang even Penelope Leach is looking around nervously while wearing her
striped hose, waiting for a house to fall on her.
If you stay at home with your kids you may lose your bearings when you try
to figure out just how evil and jaded you've become. You have no yardstick
for comparison. The only times you see other moms is when they are on their
best behavior, like at library story time or the Pampered Chef party. You
never see them grabbing the GameBoy, holding it out the car window while
driving with the other hand and screaming "I told you little bastards to
take turns! Don't make me drop this thing into the fucking toll basket!"
So for a little perspective here is a handy little quiz that will enable you
to track your inevitable death spiral from "Disinfect The Pacifier" mom to
"Put Together That Stupid Lego Thing By Yourself And Leave Me Alone" mom.
See just how far down the yellow brick road to hell you've progressed.
1. Your pre-schooler has just received another birthday party invite to Chuck
E. Cheese's. The party will take place from 1-3:30 on a Saturday, thereby
blowing any possible plans for the whole day. What do you do?
2. Your child's school district has sent home a complicated flyer explaining
the new reading curriculum. What do you do?
3. Halloween is looming and all the other moms are making their kids'
costumes. What do you do?
4. Bake Sale time! The school is raising money for the fourth grade's field
trip to the waste treatment plant and they need your help. What do you do?
5. An article about the hundreds of choking possibilities hiding in your
house freaks you out. What steps do you take to avoid a potential tragedy?
6. Some states now mandate that a child should ride in a car seat until he
weighs 80 pounds. How do you feel about this?
7. It's time for the annual Holiday Concert at your kid's school. How do you
plan to enjoy this event?
8. Your kid needs new shoes. What do you do?
9.Horrors! Your child has discovered his privates and can't leave 'em alone.
Now what?
10. Your child is going through yet another bout of "separation anxiety".
You and your husband have tickets to a show you've waited months to see, but
your child is sobbing hysterically and humping your leg as you try to leave.
What do you do?
Now, let's take a look at your answers. If you answered A to most questions
you are a very good mother and an example to us all. Now do us all a favor
and please insert that massive suppository that you so desperately need.
If you answered B to most questions you're on the downward spiral to bad
motherhood, but you still have a long way to go before you hit true
witchiness. A few more years of trying to keep up the charade should wear
you down.
If you answered C to most questions, welcome to the dark scary woods where
the flying, fez-wearing monkeys lurk. You've surrendered, Dorothy! Now, set
the kids down in front of Grand Theft Auto, pass me them Thin Mints and
let's have us a nice little visit.
And not for nothin', but didn't it piss you off at the end of the movie when
that so-called good witch told Dorothy she could have gone home at any time?
I always wondered why Dorothy didn't bitch-slap her and say "Why didn't you
tell me before the tree starting throwing apples? Here, you take these fugly
ruby slippers and you go to Kansas, you creepy freakazoid. As for me,
there's no place like Payless!"
(Kelley Cunningham Cousineau is proud to be a Heartless
Bitch Mom, but nevertheless loves her three sons insanely)

I go through the days with a firm resolve and the same goal that pulled me back from the edge of that precipice now propels me forward.
But it is never an easy thing to drag anyone away from the carcasses of their hopes and the mortuary of dreams. It is not enough to say to the soul, "look here, it is dead. Let it go."
The soul will not have it. It will not be reasoned with. Because wherever a person's heart ventures – the soul plants its roots and calls it home. And you were my home.
You were home.
In the aloneness of this solitude I have no one to put up pretence for. But some habits must have somehow snuck into the tightly packed luggage I brought with me. Even though I am surrounded by strangers, I still pretend I am fine – as if they could tell the difference.
Some things are hard to live behind.
They are too burrowed deeply into the survival kit of our psyche. And they are forged by seasons of hardship, of pain and of life's endless unknowable and unshareable sorrows.
Home is not a place. It is not a thing or an object. Home is a person. If you're lucky it's many people but for most of us – it's usually just one person.
And even if the home goes up in flames the soul lingers round it like some crazed phantom refusing to believe that all is lost. The soul is too stubborn to be reasoned with.
It will keep you there. In the rubbles of the past, driving you mad with its frenzied desire to go through the rubble attempting to find something salvageable.
There is nothing left. It is all gone. And in the end you have to be okay with the fact that it's gone. But your soul wants to go home to a home that no longer exists.
You show it pictures of the devastation. You show it the witness reports your heart has compiled over the years – detailing every pain sustained, every hurt inflicted and every self-demeaning act of retaliation.
Your mind weighs in – with minty fresh memories of disasters endured, of laughter that got extinguished and soul deep agonies to which the defenceless body curled up through long nights.
You want to tell the soul, "let's go." And it won't budge. It won't.
Like the desperate futility of holding on to the corpse of a cherished one, the soul wants to stay here.
Wants to try and nourish these drought-hardened soils. Wants to sacrifice itself by making manure out of its roots to fertilize the ground again… perchance something may spring up again.
You tell it "no. We have tried it all. It's over. Let's go. Please."
And in the end you are left with no choice. You must go. This is no longer home. It hasn't been for a very long time. You must go.
And so you wait until your soul takes a nap, lift it gently and tenderly; try to carefully uproot it from the ground and realize you can't – it's too deeply rooted.
If you don't hurry, your soul will awake and keep begging you, "let's try one last time. Please. Just one last time."
But you know that one-last-time would be a waste of last times. You know the reserves containing your one-last-times have become depleted. You know you spent them on this very space and you are running out of one-last-times to spare.
You cannot try it one-last-time.
You are looking at the flatline on the screen, telling you that there is nothing left to resuscitate – that the dreams which once thrived have shrivelled and died. That the hopes which were on life support slipped into a coma and did not survive the wounds inflicted by sterilized loss.
Sterilized loss is a silent killer; a grief denied gains potency with time. Grief is a messy business but sterilizing it only pushes it deeper into our souls. By denying it an outlet – it becomes at home in our hearts – tiny slivers of unacknowledged pain.
We die from tiny defeats, from small let downs and from tiny flesh wounds…it is not their tininess that matters – it is their multitude – death by a thousand paper cuts is still a death.
Your soul is starting to stir and you know the nap will soon be over. You must go. And if you cannot convince your soul then you must just take it with you by force. There is nothing to stay here for.
So you grab it. Grab your reluctant soul and realize the roots are still tied to this ground. Your soul wakes up in alarm and demands to know where you're taking it, why you don't want to try one-last-time. You are done talking.
You tell your soul it is time to go. Go before you die in this mass grave containing all the dead dreams and hopes of the past.
Your soul says it will go but there's a price, "Leave something behind. Leave a piece of me here. This used to be home. Something must be left behind. This used to be home."
And so I carried my soul out of there, stumbled out into the open of a new day and am blinded by the brightness of future prospects.
"Put me down", says my soul, "I can walk from here".
I put it down and begin to walk, thinking that it was right by my side… but a few steps and I realize something is wrong.
I turn back to see my soul following with a limp, "what did you do?" I ask in distress.
And my soul says, "I left something behind. So that I could remember the home that once was. If I could not save it, then let me at least remember. It used to be home. It used to matter."
Now I understand why my soul limps and why my smile curves into a sad tilt and why my laughter goes out of tune sometimes… ringing in a high falsetto.
You used to be home. You used to matter. And my soul limps to honour that.

Life at Work
Snagged by the Network
Sunday, May 28, 2006
The nonprofit group where Sadie Dingfelder works was looking for a new Web designer a few months ago. And so when she met an unemployed friend of a friend at a party who told her he had just that background, she thought she could help.
"It sounded like he had a lot of experience," she said. She kindly told him to send her his résumé and she would assist him. As an editor, she figured she could look it over, give him some tips, and then forward the résumé to the hiring managers.
Dingfelder's offer is every job seeker's dream: an "in" that will help his résumé stand out beyond the hundreds of others that are e-mailed or sent to "To whom it may concern."
But despite last week's column about the right way to network, we all know that there is an ugly underbelly to networking, as Dingfelder soon discovered.
She quickly received a cover letter and résumé from the guy, written in rambling, stream-of-consciousness prose. Both were full of errors and red flags -- the kind that would cause any hiring manager to toss the résumé into the trash. But Dingfelder didn't give up. Yet. This guy had good experience, and she'd said she would help. So she went into editing mode and sent the letter back with all sorts of (somewhat snarky) comments. ("You might want to have a subject and a verb here" and "You probably don't want to mention interpersonal problems you've had with previous bosses in this cover letter.")
The applicant then sent the "corrected" cover letter to the hiring manager and to Dingfelder. With all the comments still attached.
"Now I'm afraid that I can't recommend other people," she said.
No doubt.
It is well established that if we have a decent relationship with someone within a company where we want a job, our résumé will likely go to the top of the pile.
And so we network. Or we think about networking. Or we think about how to network.
But all of that networking talk can lead to networking nightmares. Many people are overwhelmed by the number of requests they receive after a cocktail party to chat about their company. Others are afraid their reputation will plummet if they recommend someone who is just all wrong. And many others are flummoxed by the audacity of some people who come to them with demands -- all in the name of networking.
Over-networking is probably one of the biggest complaints among people on the receiving end of the conversation, particularly in this town, where the vendors along K Street NW could make a fortune selling business-card holders.

U.S. Education Has No 'Open Marketplace'
To the Editor:
As an educator, I appreciate a vivid imagination. I suppose the fact that Walt Gardner's inference that the United States has an "open education marketplace" was published near the first of April ("Even the Finest Schools Sometimes Fail to Survive," Letters, March 23, 2005) may have caused many readers to dismiss it, appropriately, as an early April fool's day joke.
The country's K-12 system is anything but an open education marketplace. Starting a private school means you have to be able to sell something for thousands of dollars per year that has a widely available substitute (the public school system) that charges no tuition, but collects as much as $10,000 per child per year to support its operation. That our system forces nonpublic schools to sell something that well-funded, well-established public school competitors are giving away is a huge contradiction of "open marketplace."
That any private schools achieve such an economic miracle is powerful evidence of how little $10,000 per child per year buys through the public school governance and funding process. About 10 percent of families decline an expensive service they have already paid for through their taxes to instead pay tuition for much less well-funded private school services.
Profits are another key feature of a marketplace, yet only about 2 percent of private schools are for-profit. To survive against "free" competition generally requires below-cost tuition possible only with donations, usually in the form of church subsidies.

Senator Barbara Boxer Endorses Alex Padilla for Secretary of State
Six Statewide Elected Officials Now Support Padilla
LOS ANGELES – Today, US Senator Barbara Boxer announced her endorsement of Alex Padilla for Secretary of State.
Senator Boxer said: "I've known Alex Padilla for more than a decade. Alex knows how to get things done and I know he'll put that same energy and drive to work engaging new voters. Alex Padilla is part of a new generation of California leaders and I'm proud to endorse him for Secretary of State."
Boxer's endorsement continues the sweep of statewide Democratic support behind Padilla. In the last few weeks Padilla has announced endorsements from US Senator Dianne Feinstein, Attorney General Kamala Harris and State Treasurer Bill Lockyer. Earlier, Padilla was endorsed by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Supt. of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson. Padilla is the only candidate running for an open statewide office who has the support of California's two US Senators and the support of the top women elected officials in the state: Boxer, Feinstein and Harris.
Alex Padilla commented: "I am humbled to have the support of Senator Barbara Boxer, a true champion for California's working families. As Secretary of State, I will work tirelessly to register more voters, expand voting options and increase online access to elections information. I will also fight to create jobs by making it easier and faster to start a business and modernizing the Secretary of State's office to bring more services online."
In addition to the broad coalition of Democrats supporting Padilla, Alex Padilla has been endorsed by respected statewide organizations including the California League of Conservation Voters, California Nurses Association, California Professional Firefighters and Equality California.
To learn more about Senator Padilla and his campaign for Secretary of State, please visit his website at: www.Alex-Padilla.com or follow him on Facebook or Twitter.
State Senator Alex Padilla was first elected to the State Senate in 2006 and represents more than 1.1 million residents in the 20th District, which includes most of the San Fernando Valley in the County of Los Angeles. Winning a seat on the Los Angeles City Council in 1999, Alex was later elected by his peers as President, becoming the first Latino and youngest member ever to serve as President of the Council. He graduated from MIT with a Mechanical Engineering degree and now serves on the MIT Board of Trustees. Alex serves as Chair of the Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee and is currently President of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. He lives in the San Fernando Valley with his wife Angela and their two young sons.
