California has long been home to a diverse population, for whom hope and opportunity are synonymous with hard work and innovation. They brought us blue jeans and “moving pictures,” semiconductors and a successful agriculture industry.

长久以来，加州一直是各族群的家园。对他们而言，勤劳与创新意味着希望与机遇。他们带给我们牛仔服和电影、半导体以及成功的农业。

 

Regrettably, we've lost our way. California now bears the 8th highest unemployment rate in the nation; the worst drought in 100+ years; high poverty and underfunded schools; an unbearable cost of living; and a Senate racked with criminally-convicted legislators.

令人遗憾的是 ，我们已经迷失了方向 。加州如今承受着全国排名第八的失业率；一百多年来最严重的干旱 ；居高不下的贫困与经费短缺的学校；令人难以承受的高额生活花费；以及一个曾经被众多获刑的立法人员占据的参议院 。

I want you to believe in California again. It doesn't have to be this way.

我要让你重拾对加州的信心。加州不一定非其如此 。

As a job-creating small business owner, I'll cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit and prosperity that has been the hallmark of this region by fostering new economic opportunities such as renewable energy.

作为一个创造就业的小企业主，我会推广新的诸如再生能源这样的经济机遇，以开拓标志着本地特色的企业精神与财富。

I'll fight legislation like SCA-5, ensuring college admissions are based on merit and need, not skin color.

我会反对诸如SCA5这样的提案，保证高校录取不以其肤色为基础，而是基于学生的自身素质和诉求。

I'll fight to turn around our failing schools by facing the interconnected complexities of crime, poverty, and education head-on.

我为迎头面对犯罪、贫穷与教育之间错综复杂的关系，努力扭转我们日益衰败的学校 。

I'll work with unions and retirees to solve our pension obligations while keeping promises to past and present workers.

我会与工会和退休者们共同努力，以解决我们的退休基金问题，并保持对过去和现在就业者的承诺。

I'll fight any legislation that allows dangerous criminals back into your neighborhood before serving their sentence.

我会尽力反对任何允许罪犯在服刑未满之前重返社区的法案。

I'll work with other legislators, the public, unions, anyone… on any issue. No one is in my back pocket.

我会和其他立法人员、社会大众、工会团体或任何其他人，就任何议题共同努力 ，不偏不倚。

It's time to shine the spotlight on Sacramento. We need problem solvers and California dreamers, not finger pointing by an entrenched legislature.

是到正视沙加缅度问题的时候了。我们需要的是解决问题的人，为加州织梦的人，而不是固步自封一味推卸责任的立法机构。

 

I ask for your vote to do the hard work needed to help make California Golden again.

我期望得到您的一票，以努力工作，帮助加州重新成为金色之州。
