Poverty in Modesto has risen to an astounding 19.9%, making us the sixth poorest city in the nation. Thanks to my father's work in non-profit, I have been involved in volunteer work my entire life. I have seen the impacts of poverty first hand. Now that one in five Modesto residents are living in poverty we must make this a top priority. Poverty doesn't only impact those living below the poverty line. Poverty impacts us all. We must work together as a community, partnering government with non-profit and private industries alike to see that we find the best solutions for this and other issues facing our community.
As always, you voice matters to me,
