Area Nurse Likes Yamada For District 3 State Senator

DAVIS, CA – The following letter to editor was submitted on the District 3 State Senate race in the upcoming election.

Letter To Editor:

My name is Melissa Johnson-Camacho and I've been an Oncology Nurse for almost 10 years now -- thanks in part to the advocacy of Mariko Yamada candidate for district 3 Senate.

I'm writing this letter to give truth to power, so that the voters in my district know the clear choice for Senate in November.

In our community and in our own personal values, there comes a time when we must stand up for what's right. Now is the time when we show our power as people to support and vote to show that these big companies can't buy our politics! Anything helps.

Join me in supporting Mariko Yamada.

I personally know this honorable woman and leader. She fought for me when I was in nursing school, struggling to graduate so I could provide for my family.

Now eight years later, I still can't thank Mariko enough. Now I can give back to my community everyday.

No longer do I depend on any government programs; now I'm the one paying for them.

When my daughter tells me that I am hero, it's because of the real heroes out there like Mariko Yamada, the ones who empower the path for the rest of us struggling to make a better life for our families.

-- Signed, Melissa Johnson, Davis
