Jane Tolmach Speech

This campaign speech, delivered during a visit by Governor Jerry Brown, highlights Jane Tolmach's commitment to serving Ventura County as an independent legislator focused on local property tax relief. She criticizes the state's past practice of shifting costs onto local property taxpayers and pledges to reverse that trend, arguing that statewide services such as welfare and education should be funded at the state level. Tolmach contrasts her grassroots campaign with her opponent's reliance on large financial backers, framing herself as free from special interest influence. She thanks supporters and volunteers and emphasizes her intention to work closely with the Governor while advocating strongly for Ventura County's specific needs.
