Dear Fellow Orange County Resident,Thank you for taking the time to understand my candidacy for re-election to the Orange County Board of Education. I appreciate your efforts to be familiar with your elected representatives. To begin, as a university professor and physician, I honor the sacred trust you have placed in me as your elected member of the Orange County Board of Education for the past twenty years. It is an honor and pleasure to serve you the people of Orange County. I strongly oppose Common Core. I support parental choice, like charter schools, and support Proposition 13. I led our board with sound fiscal decisions while opposing new taxes and expensive bonds. As a sworn law enforcement officer for Orange County, student and campus safety is my top concern. As a result, our department's relationship with law enforcement, county probation, and the court system, Orange County's juvenile criminal activity is reduced, and gang membership is down 200%. Our country and state are in a state of fiscal crisis. We need more jobs and less regulation in California by government. To this end, under my leadership, the Orange County Department of Education has been at the forefront of job training programs through our county ROP programs. We have created opportunities for students in high school, college, and even adults to obtain additional training and certification in specialty fields. Leadership begins with being a servant and doing what is best for the community you represent. This community values the family as an institution because it is the bedrock of civilization. To this end, as a family physician and law enforcement officer, I give high priority to the safety and well-being of our children and families. Our children need twenty-first century skills in science, computer science, and technology, and I will always vote to support these programs. Under my education leadership, the Orange County Board of Education:
I advance American patriotism, the "spirit of the Declaration of Independence," and policies recognizing the phrase "one nation under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance. I support Boy Scout meetings at our schools, the sanctity of human life, and traditional marriage in school curricula. I am running for re-election to represent the district's priorities and values. I appreciate your vote. May God bless you and America.
Ken Williams
