I first met Abel Maldonado around 20 years ago, I watched his rise to Mayor of Santa Maria, the state assembly and then the state senate and finally culminating in his becoming the 47th Lieutenant Governor in California. Naturally, when he decided to run for Congress, we wanted to be there to add our support.
Abel has a working ranch that he spruced up for the occasion. He acquire a band and many family members helped in the Barbecue. Abe was there to insure that everyone had a good time. This was no rubber chicken dinner but a window into an interesting man.

Abel has always worked locally to get things done for the betterment of the community, I like that about him and this is why he has my vote.
