Dr. Steven Choi Launches Exploratory Committee for the 70th Assembly District

Dear Friends:

I am launching an exploratory committee for the 70th Assembly District, as our Assemblyman Chuck DeVore is termed out in 2010.

After having served as an Irvine Unified School District Trustee for six years and an Irvine City Councilman since 2004, I have gained enough experience to serve the wider community as an Assemblyman in Sacramento.

In my past 10 years serving the Irvine community, I have demonstrated my conservative Republican values through my votes, services, and deeds. If you allow me to represent you at the State level, I will fight for fiscal responsibility, border security, the protection of traditional family values, pro-life principles, and taxpayers by resisting against the ever-increasing taxes in California. My conservative values will serve not only my constituents in our community but also the people of the State of California.

As a life-long educator and small business owner, I am particularly interested in introducing legislation to help schools and children increase their academic performance by demanding teacher accountability, ensuring proper qualification of teachers, enhancing our children’s learning environment, and increased educational resources. To find the necessary financial resources, we must stop wasteful spending and ensure money goes to the classroom rather than continually increasing the education budget without stopping the increased funding from going to bureaucracy. Currently, more than half of the State budget goes into education. California schools rank near the bottom of the country in academic performance for educating a child in K-12. Of course, we must find a means to improve our children’s education, but today’s economy and the state of the budget in California clearly demonstrate the need for an extreme overhaul of the fundamental structure of the State’s fiscal policy.

Dr. Steven Choi
Irvine City Councilman
