• For over a decade as Mayor, Ignacio Velazquez brought division, dysfunction, broken promises, and backroom deals like Amazon into our community. From the Ladd Lane mess, to speed bumps and roundabouts–over a million in taxpayer funds wasted. He claims he saved Hollister from bankruptcy, but instead left the city in financial chaos with no financial audits and a structural imbalance from hiring over 30 staff his last two years in office–putting Hollister on the verge of bankruptcy!

• Supervisor Velazquez refused to fully fund fire protection and cut the Sheriff’s budget, all while opening the door to massive housing growth. Now our families are at risk: we’re losing firefighters and deputies to other communities. The community deserves better. We need a leader who understands that our safety should be prioritized over political agendas. It must come first. Supervisor Velaquez has failed us. ✘ He weakened fire protection knowing it could cost lives. ✘ Shifted milli
