“For several years I have known him. Even with differences on some issues, he has been open and, willing to have discussions with respect and civility. I watched him as a member of the Moorpark City Council. Clearly on the Council and on the Board of Trustees Bernardo Perez works hard to listen to his constituents and represent them as an elected official.
I urge folks to vote for the one candidate that is open, transparent and whose word can be trusted. I will be voting for Community College Trustee Bernardo Perez, please join me in doing the same.”
