You don’t have to look hard to realize our country is on the wrong track. Like you, I’ve had
enough. Our Valley’s families have been hard hit by loss of jobs and water. Congress continues
to pass laws making it almost impossible for businesses to create new jobs. Bay Area liberals
continue to dictate who gets water in California and who doesn’t.
This year, our farms were initially given just 5% of their water, even though reservoirs all across
California were overflowing and whole communities stood jobless in food lines.
Now that it’s an election year, our representatives in Congress are scrambling to appear to be
fighting for us. Where have they been for the past decade as problems accumulated?
Congress is out of touch. They don’t listen to our voice or act on our behalf. They let federal
spending get out of control, mismanaged the economy leading to continued high unemployment,
and seem content with tough times for our families. They’ve ignored our pleas, and allowed our
Valley communities to dry up, even in wet years.
I’m a farmer, business owner, and Valley resident, just like you. I’m running for Congress to get
our Valley working again and am willing to work with anyone who shares my focus on solving
California’s job and water problems.
Your government should listen and work for you. But, that begins with real representation. As
your Congressman, I will be available, I will listen, and I will be your voice in Washington DC.
www.VidakforCongress.com
I am an optimist. Our Valley continues to face a real crisis. But we have turned a corner. Things
will get better.
We confronted the woolly-headed bureaucrats who were cutting off our water. We stood up to
the bully tactics of the zealots whose agenda ignores our families and our future.
After years of hard work, our fight has broken through. We have made progress. More precious
water is flowing to our Valley.
It is a beginning. For us. And for our economy.
But we must keep their feet to the fire. We must fight Washington's bad decisions. Our very
survival is at stake.
Getting a fair share of water will impact every one of our lives.
Jobs will return – both in and out of agriculture. Our economy will rebound.
This is our fight. That’s why I am running. That’s what this election is all about.
As a family farmer and life long resident of the San Joaquin Valley, I know how important this
struggle is.
I will continue working on critical district issues like crime and gangs, air quality and
education. My local offices will stay busy helping people one-on-one.
But my top priority is jobs and our local economy, and that starts by making sure we have the
water we need – now and in the future.
We will overcome this crisis. We will win this fight.

MEMBER, STATE SENATE DISTRICT 16
Age: 55
I’m a farmer and small business owner, not a politician. Yet my commitment to our community
has lasted a lifetime. I was born here. My wife and I raised our family here and now I run my
business here.
It is not too long ago when I could remember children being able to play outside until dark. We
all knew they were safe to play, would have a good school to attend, and a job when they
graduated.
Now our community is suffering. Our streets aren’t safe, schools are struggling, and jobs are
being eliminated.
Every single day in the Senate I will think about the good honest people that are out of work. My
goal is to eliminate government waste and take actions that will bring jobs to our community.
After jobs the two policy areas that drive me are public safety and education.
People should be able to take a walk in the evening without fearing for their safety. I am willing
to make the tough choices so that people have that sense of freedom.
My wife Barbara and I have been married for 24 years. She has spent 19 of those years
working in public schools. I see the value of a good education and what it means for young
people today.
My experience as a father, businessman, and farmer make me uniquely qualified to serve our
community.

STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR
ST
MEMBER, 31 ASSEMBLY DISTRICT
When will our legislature get serious about fixing our economy, creating jobs, and stopping the
state’s runaway spending?
Our State’s unemployment rate remains among the highest in the nation, and here in the Valley
it’s even worse. Yet our legislature continues to drive jobs and businesses out of our State by
raising taxes and heaping new regulations on small businesses.
We need to get serious about creating jobs and fixing our economy. Here in the Valley, that
starts with providing more water for our farms and families.
I’m running for Assembly to fight for increased water for our communities. That means
balancing our water laws rather than allowing the Bay Area liberals to dictate who gets water and
who doesn’t.
I will also work to suspend the heavy regulations that are driving businesses out of our state.
Instead, let’s turn California into one-big enterprise zone and attract jobs back to our Valley.
I will fight to balance the state budget and make Sacramento live within its means like you and I
must do every day. And, I will oppose attempts to raise taxes on the hard working families of our
Valley.
It’s time for real, decisive leadership in the Assembly. I’m not a career politician. Instead, I’m a
husband, father, public safety officer, and business owner who believes, like my neighbors, that
things are seriously off track in our State. It’s time that we turned our state around. I would be
honored to have your support.

As your County Supervisor, I have a proven record of supporting public safety, working to create
jobs, and protecting water for the people of Fresno County.
I have been a strong supporter of public safety since I’ve been on the Board. I am proud to
have the endorsement of Sheriff Mims and the Fresno Deputy Sheriffs’ Association. Further, I’m
on record against the early release of prisoners and voted this year to ensure the Sheriff’s
Department did not layoff any Deputies.
To protect water flow to Fresno County, I’ve testified before a Congressional subcommittee
against the Miller-Bradley law… a bill that jeopardized the Agriculture industry and the jobs that go
along with it.
Simply stated: WATER = FOOD = JOBS
THE FRESNO BEE reported that SEIU, “a union representing Fresno County workers has spent
almost $500,000” to defeat me in June. Why? Because they want to control the Board. Despite
these attacks, I will not compromise my position on fiscal responsibility, protecting families, and
protecting Fresno County taxpayers.
I have always voted for what I believe is right and in the best interest of Fresno County
residents. Your concerns are important to me. You may contact me at (559)288-9287 or

I am the only candidate who is a state licensed appraiser. For 37 years, I have worked as an

As a wife and mother of three, I know the importance of assessments to the funding of schools,
public services and safety. The county of Fresno and its cities are in fiscal crisis. An efficient and
fair Assessor/Recorder’s office is essential to managing this crisis.
I will use my skills to achieve fair, accurate and timely property appraisals. I will improve

The Assessor-Recorder is responsible for fairly evaluating taxable property, ensuring equal
treatment for all homeowners, businesses, and agricultural taxpayers. As Fresno County’s
primary funding source for road repairs, schools, parks, police, fire and much more, you deserve
an Assessor-Recorder who brings private sector productivity to the Office. One who will practice
fiscal responsibility by maintaining a balanced budget. One that will do more with less.
I possess the qualifications and experience to ensure that the Assessor’s appraisals, valuations,
and assessments are accurate, and the Recorder’s office functions properly. With 38 years of
experience as a CPA, I have conducted numerous public and private sector audits,
recommending improvements and developing financial control systems that benefit government,
industry, and the general public.
County and State officials have criticized the operations of the retiring Assessor-Recorder – I’ll
improve office management while prioritizing potential improvements in accordance with
budgetary limitations. One of my first orders of business will be to replace the 44 year-old Cobolst
based computer system to bring the tracking of your assessments into the 21 Century.
My supporters (www.votepauldictos.com) symbolize my commitment to honesty, integrity and

PR-9037-1
The creation of a unified school district will enhance both educational and
extracurricular opportunities for all students grades K-12. Existing programs such as
the Health Institute can be expanded. Extracurricular activities such as sports and
performing arts can be coordinated in the same manner as the curriculum, increasing
opportunities for students.
The purpose of changing the organizational structure of the Districts is to help
students. The creation of a unified school district will increase educational
effectiveness by coordinating and integrating the educational curriculum from
th
Kindergarten through 12 grade. A coordinated curriculum is particularly important
as students transition from elementary to high school. A unified district can best
support students during these key educational transitions. A coordinated curriculum
increases the quality of the educational program and will increase student
performance.
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR
The American Union Elementary School District and the Washington Union High
School District should become a single unified school district. The creation of a
unified school district will benefit our schools and our students. Unification will
provide increased revenue of approximately one million dollars annually and will not
increase costs to taxpayers or raise taxes.
s/Kevin B. Briggs
County Counsel
At the same election, there will be a governing board election to elect seven (7)
qualified trustees, by trustee area, to serve as the board of trustees of the newly
created unified school district, held in the territory proposed for unification. This
governing board election of trustees shall be effective only if the school measure on
unification passes. Trustees shall be elected by the voters of each respective trustee
area. The Resolution, Order of Election, Specifications of the Election Order and
Formal Notice of Election, adopted by the County Superintendent of Schools, Fresno
County, on June 30, 2010, a copy of which is on file in the Fresno County Elections
Office, depicts the seven (7) respective trustee areas, and specifies provisions for
creating staggered terms for such trustees, and resolving tie votes, at this initial
election.

s/Jennifer Huntress
American Union Board Member/Past
President
As you consider this proposal, before casting your ballot, it is imperative that you look
more deeply at the many promised outcomes and the likelihood that they will be
achieved by unification. We must not let the public discussion about it be one-sided. A
true understanding of what we’re voting for or against will be the key to a fair election
on this issue. True democracy depends on informed voters. Please refer to the website
noted above for more facts.
REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR
According to the California Department of Education (CDE) District Reorganization
Handbook (www.cde.ca.gov/re/lr/do/documents/dochap9.doc) the state funding for
salary/benefit differences is the ONLY new funding for a district that reorganizes. All
other changes are revenue neutral, which means that there will be NO additional
funding for programs for children. The new unified school board would have the power
to increase OR decrease salaries, therefore effectively eliminating any possible
additional funding. The cost of living adjustment (COLA) is reduced for newly unified
districts, and there is a “deficit factor” which will also reduce any amount to be received
by the district. With the current budget crisis, loss of COLA funding, and the deficit
factor, any speculation as to $1,000,000 more annually cannot be verified, and is
simply clouded wishful thinking! According to the Fresno County Office of Education
and the CDE, “approval of a reorganization proposal is no guarantee of any specific
revenue limit level.”
s/Jim Mattos
President, Governing Board of American Union Elementary School District
s/Jim Curtis
President, Governing Board of Washington Union High School District
On behalf of the Governing Boards of the American Union Elementary School District
and the Washington Union High School District, we ask that you vote in favor of
unification. Unification will not increase costs to taxpayers or raise taxes. Unification
will allow us to educate our students more efficiently and ultimately provide enhanced
opportunities in their education.
The Governing Boards of American Union and Washington Union voted to seek the
creation of a new unified school district. The Governing Boards of the Orange Center,
Pacific Union, Washington Colony, West Fresno, and West Park Elementary School
Districts have consented to allow a vote on the unification of Washington Union and
American Union. The unification process was approved by the Fresno County
Committee on School District Organization. The Fresno County Office of Education
performed an independent analysis of the unification and determined that it would be
beneficial to both Districts.
The unified school district will consist of the American Union Elementary School District
and the Washington Union High School District. There are five additional elementary
school Districts within the Washington Union High School District boundary: Orange
Center, Pacific Union, Washington Colony, West Fresno, and West Park Elementary
School Districts. Each of these five Districts will remain independent.
FULL TEXT OF MEASURE
Shall the territory of the American Union Elementary School District and the
Washington Union High School District be unified, with Orange Center, Pacific Union,
Washington Colony, West Fresno and West Park elementary school districts
excluded from the unification, and be governed by a seven member Board of
Trustees elected by trustee area?
IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS BY COUNTY COUNSEL
Voter approval of this measure on school unification will authorize the unification of
the territory of American Union Elementary School District and the Washington Union
High School District in a unified school district, while excluding from that unification
other elementary school districts, namely, the Orange Center, Pacific Union,
Washington Colony, West Fresno, and West Park elementary school districts.
The creation of a unified school district will save money by reducing operating costs.
Economies of scale will apply in many areas including administration, staffing,
maintenance, transportation, capital purchases and supplies.
WASHINGTON UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT AND AMERICAN UNION
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT
UNIFICATION MEASURE W
PR-9037-2
Unification will enhance student learning. Curriculum coordination involves more
than state standards.
A unified school district provides coordinated staff
development and allows for a K-12 learning community that will result in higher
student achievement.
The creation of a unified school district will increase revenues by approximately one
million dollars annually.
This is a fact supported by independent financial
conclusions reached by both the Fresno County Committee on School District
Organization and the Fresno County Office of Education. In addition to increased
revenue, unification creates economies of scale. The bottom line is that a unified
school district will receive more funding and can provide more student opportunities
than two separate districts.
REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST
The majority of the Governing Boards of both American Union and Washington
Union support unification. The Governing Boards have carefully analyzed whether
unification is in the best interests of both school districts and have determined that
they should become a single unified school district.

American Union historically has one of the highest test scores of all of the WUHS
feeder schools, as well as the most up-to-date technology, a modernized campus,
and a stable budget. Why change what’s working and in turn loose majority
representation to districts outside of ours?
The five remaining elementary feeder districts have elected to opt-out of this
unification agreement. Unless and until all area districts are willing to unify, it is
difficult to imagine that unification would be beneficial in our area.
Curriculum consolidation is already happening. The state of California has adopted
state standards which all school districts must follow. These standards are designed
to ensure that a student who goes from one school district to another does not miss
an academic stop along the way. All state-approved curriculum teaches the same
standards to students across the board.
Duplicated cost savings from consolidating transportation will only be realized if we
are willing to put our tiniest students on buses with high school students. It is not
always safe to have 5-year olds on a bus with 18-year olds, while the only
supervision is a bus driver who must watch the road.
ARGUMENT AGAINST
The proposed unification of Washington Union and American Union is flawed. There
are seven voting areas in the newly proposed district which will create a seven
member board. Only one of those board members will live in American Union area.
Why would we want to turn American Union over to a board with only one
representative from our area? There are six schools which feed into Washington
Union, each with their own school board, yet they will also have a representative who
will oversee American Union, which would no longer have it’s own board.

Unification will allow American Union and Washington Union to go from “good” to
“great.”
American Union is a good school district. Washington Union is a good school district.
The two school districts have petitioned together for the creation of a unified school
district to enhance the educational and extracurricular opportunities for their students.
Each member of the newly unified school board will represent the entire unified school
district. Voting by trustee areas meets the requirements of law and assures that
American Union will have guaranteed representation on the new governing board.
