U.S. REPRESENTATIVE, 8TH DISTRICT

BOB CONAWAY Age 67

Occupation: Attorney

Education and Qualifications: First, we need to pass the Audit the Fed law.
An example of how out of control the Federal Reserve is: since Sept. 17, the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York has pumped billions of dollars into the
repurchasing bad debts market, the first such intervention since 2009. The
Federal Reserve has announced that it will continue to inject as much as
$75 billion a day into the bad debt market until Nov. 4. The American people
are not told what banks benefited from the Fed’s intervention or what plans
the Fed is making for future bailouts — even though we will pay for those
bailouts either through increased taxes, debt, or the Federal Reserve’s hidden
inflation tax. Second, political change will never come without passing &
funding secure ballot, counting & tabulation laws. Third we need to protect
Social Security against Congress borrowing from it and not paying borrowed
funds back. Fourth, our defenders need better pay & benefits & the best
tools needed to carry out their mission.

I have successfully represented individuals & business against government

abuses. If elected I can continue that fight. I humbly ask for your vote.

Occupation: Assemblyman/Business Owner Ocupación: asambleísta/propietario de empresa

Education and Qualifications: Federal spending is out of control! Our federal
budget deficit will exceed $1 trillion this year and our national debt is now over $23
trillion. We must take control of our government!
I believe I can help. As a business owner, I have the real-world experience to solve
problems and get things done. I started my company 30 years ago and grew that
successful business by balancing budgets and controlling costs. I also learned how
government should work to increase prosperity for everyone.
I’ve also represented you in the State Legislature for the last 6 years, serving as
Vice-Chair of the Assembly Budget Committee and on the Joint Legislative Audit
Committee. In those capacities I have cut wasteful spending and voted to audit the
bullet train and DMV. I’ve also passed legislation making state government more
transparent and efficient, cutting regulations and saving taxpayers money.
As your Representative I will fight to: Protect taxpayers and balance the budget.
Grow our economy and create jobs. Reduce the cost of healthcare. Prioritize and
honor our veterans. Strengthen our national defense. Preserve our constitutional
liberties.
Outgoing Congressman Paul Cook has endorsed me because he trusts me to
keep our country safe. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association has endorsed
me because I am a proven tax fighter. My record passing legislation cracking
down on criminals has also earned me the endorsement of Inyo County Sheriff
Jeff Hollowell.
I would be honored to earn your vote. Learn more about my values at www.

Educación y calificaciones: ¡Los gastos federales están fuera de control! Este
año, nuestro déficit presupuestario federal excederá $1 billón y ahora nuestra deuda
nacional supera los $23 billones. ¡Debemos tomar el control de nuestro gobierno!
Creo que puedo ayudar. Como propietario de una empresa, tengo la experiencia del
mundo real para resolver problemas y hacer las cosas. Comencé mi compañía hace
30 años e hice crecer este negocio exitoso al equilibrar los presupuestos y controlar
los costos. Además, aprendí cómo debe trabajar el gobierno para incrementar la
prosperidad de todos.
También lo representé en la legislatura estatal durante los últimos 6 años, sirviendo
como vicepresidente del Comité Presupuestario de la Asamblea y en el Comité
Conjunto de Auditoría Legislativa. En esas funciones, reduje el gasto innecesario
y voté por la auditoria del tren bala y del Departamento de Vehículos Motorizados
(Department of Motor Vehicles, DMV). También aprobé la legislación para logar más
transparencia y eficacia en el gobierno del estado al reducir las reglamentaciones y
ahorrar el dinero de los contribuyentes.
Como su representante, lucharé por: proteger a los contribuyentes y equilibrar el
presupuesto. Incrementar nuestra economía y crear empleos. Reducir los costos de la
atención médica. Priorizar y honorar a nuestros veteranos. Fortalecer nuestra defensa
nacional. Preservar nuestras libertades constitucionales
El actual congresista Paul Cook me respalda porque confía en mí para mantener
nuestro país a salvo. La Asociación de Contribuyentes Howard Jarvis me respalda
porque he demostrado ser un luchador fiscal. El haber aprobado la legislación para
combatir a los delincuentes también me ganó el respaldo del alguacil del condado de
Inyo, Jeff Hollowell.

TIM DONNELLY AGE:53

Occupation: Manufacturing Sales Engineer

Education and Qualifications: I’m Tim Donnelly—the Trump Conservative

in this race.
Former CA State Assemblyman. Minuteman Leader. Business owner.
Why should you vote for me? If you want to know what I’ll do in office, look
at what I’ve done:
In 2005, before ever putting my name on a ballot, I ran a prison Bible Study
for 8 years. I founded the largest Minuteman Group in the state of CA—
organizing a huge border watch operation. The media attention on our efforts
shamed the Federal Government into doing it’s job, and sparked national
awareness of the border crisis.
In 2011, while many of my colleagues in the Legislature were enjoying
lobbyist junkets in Hawaii, I led the statewide effort (gathering $450K
signatures) to repeal the Dream Act—which gives illegal aliens free college
tuition (paid for by you and I).
In 2014, I gave up my Assembly seat in order to save CA and our Gun Rights
by running for Governor against Jerry Brown, pushing my bill to make it
cheaper and easier for every law-abiding citizen to get a CCW.
Later that year, I led a successful protest against the visiting Mexican
President—who had come here to negotiate more rights for his illegal
citizens in CA. Our efforts led to the release of US Marine Sgt. Andrew
Tahmooressi, suffering PTSD, and stuck in a Mexican jail for making a wrong
turn.
I will always put America First—and have our Veteran’s and our President’s
back.

CHRISTINE BUBSER CHRISTINE BUBSER
Occupation: Engineer, Business Owner and Biotechnology Advisor
Education and Qualifications: Washington needs a dose of truth for a change.
Partisan politicians and big corporations have put themselves first for too long.
Government should work for us, not partisan and special interests.
I’ve spent my life working to promote fact-based solutions that improve lives. That’s
what we need in a representative and it’s why I’m running for Congress.
I was born in Pennsylvania coal country and started working at age 14. I earned an
engineering degree at Lehigh and an MBA at UCLA. For two decades, I built a career
in biotechnology, helping to bring lifesaving treatments to patients.
Yet I still had to fight my insurance company to get our daughter the coverage and care
she needed for her epilepsy. That’s when I realized Washington needed to change, so
people are the priority, not corporate profit.
As your representative, I’ll get results that: Reduce healthcare and prescription drug
costs. Create well-paying, sustainable jobs in our communities. Strengthen education
from preschool through college and career training. Defend our environment and
combat climate change. Ensure our soldiers and veterans get the services they
deserve. and Protect the Social Security and Medicare benefits retirees have earned.
As a homeowner and member of the Mammoth Lakes community for 13 years, I
love the Eastern Sierra, Mojave Desert, and Inland Empire. In Congress I will fight for
everyone in these communities.
I’m proudly endorsed by the California Democratic Party, California League of
Conservation Voters, and Inland Empire Labor Council, which represents thousands
of local working families.

REPRESENTANTE DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS, DISTRITO 8
Ocupación: ingeniera, propietaria de empresa y asesora de biotecnología
Educación y calificaciones: Washington necesita una dosis de verdad para cambiar.
Los políticos partidarios y las grandes corporaciones se han puesto en primer lugar durante
mucho tiempo. El gobierno debería trabajar para nosotros, no para los intereses especiales y
partidaristas.
Me he pasado la vida trabajando para promover soluciones basadas en hechos que mejoren
la vida. Eso es lo que necesitamos de un representante y es por eso que me postulo para el
Congreso.
Nací en Pennsylvania, tierra del carbón, y comencé a trabajar a los 14 años. Obtuve un título
de ingeniería en Lehigh y una maestría en Administración de Empresas (Master in Business
Administration, MBA) en la University of Califonia Los Angeles (UCLA). Durante dos décadas,
desarrollé una carrera en biotecnología, para ayudar a brindar tratamientos para salvar la vida
de los pacientes.
Sin embargo, tuve que pelear contra mi compañía de seguros para hacer que nuestra hija
recibiera la cobertura y la atención que necesitaba para su epilepsia. Fue entonces cuando me
di cuenta de que Washington necesitaba cambiar, para que la prioridad sean las personas y no
las utilidades de las empresas.
Como su representante, obtendré los resultados que: Disminuyan los costos de la atención

 STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR
STATE ASSEMBLY, 26TH DISTRICT
DREW PHELPS
Occupation: Healthcare Advocate
Education and Qualifications: My name is Drew Phelps and I would be
honored to serve as your next Assemblymember. As a fourth generation
Tularean, I’ve grown up in our district, worked and volunteered here, and
have always been engaged in our community.

Anyone who spends time in our district understands that we’ve been
ignored by Sacramento for too long. I’m running because I want to deliver
the commonsense solutions our communities desperately need -- we can’t
afford more years of inaction.

My top priorities are the issues that affect us all: water, healthcare access,
and workforce training.

We need to ensure that we have an adequate supply of water. I will work

tirelessly to pursue new storage and conveyance projects, along with Delta
solutions, to provide more water statewide; freeing up more water for the
Owens Valley and Inyo County as a whole.

My experience as one of the leaders of the Citizens for Hospital Accountability

campaign in Tulare helped me recognize the dire need to fight for more
funding from the state budget for our hospitals and clinics, particularly to
attract and keep doctors and nurses.

I will also work to expand access to vocational education to students across

our district, along with a greater focus on workforce training for those who
may be displaced from jobs in our changing economy.

Ultimately, I understand that these are issues that can’t wait to be addressed
– we need action now. With your vote, I can put my experience to work for
all of us.

 Census 2020: What you need to know

The 2020 Census is closer than you think! Here’s a quick review of what it is and why it’s
important that everyone is counted.

What is it?
The census is a process of counting every person living in the Unites States. The first
census took place in 1790. The U.S. Constitution mandates that everyone in the country
be counted every 10 years.

What is it used for?

Representation: Every 10 years, the results of the census are used to determine how
many seats each state gets in the House of Representatives. This determines how many
electoral college votes each state has as well.

Money: The results of the census also help with deciding the distribution of more than
$675 billion in federal funds and grants to be spent locally on schools, hospitals, roads,
public works and other vital programs.

Boundaries: After every census, state officials redraw the boundaries of the
congressional and state legislative districts in their states to account for change in
population.

Your privacy
Your privacy is protected. It’s against the law for the Census Bureau to publicly release
your responses in any way that could identify you or your household. By law, the Census
Bureau cannot share your answers with any other government agency.

How you can be involved

Be counted! 2020 will be easier than ever to participate in. In 2020, you will be able to
respond to the census online.

It takes lots of people to count the number of people living in our country. The Census
Bureau needs your ideas on how to make sure everyone in our community gets counted.
