Richard Faher 72nd Assembly District Candidates' Statement
My name is Richard Faher. The reason I am running for the 72nd Assembly District seat is to elevate the conservative image and stop the practice of "tax and spend" and "borrow and spend". California desperately needs fiscal responsibility restored. The California legislature also has to stop enacting laws that are "private sector job killers".

I have lived in the 72nd district for over 13 years. My wife, Diane Faher is a pediatrician at Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). I have two daughters, Kathleen and Laurel who attend Placentia + Yorba Linda Unified public schools. I am a United States Air Force veteran. I am a college graduate, having earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Central Michigan University with a major in Management Information Systems and a minor in Accounting. I have over twenty-five years work experience as a software application consultant in the private sector.

I support changing the California Legislature from full time status to part time status as is done in many states. The longer the California Legislature remains in session the more damage they do to the California economy. When I attend church I notice that "churches are empty, jails are full". I believe there is a relationship between these two facts. I am also against releasing 27,000 convicted felons from California State prisons just to save money.

I believe in miracles and am optimistic that you will give me your vote. Thank you. Richard Faher http://www.richardfaher.com
