I have had occasion to work with Mariko in an advisory capacity for the citizens of the Capay Valley. I have found her to be extremely responsive and supportive of her own constituants as well as those from other districts. I feel that we need people that truely represent the people in government offices.
On June 11th, 2007 Mariko and her opponent spoke before the Northern Solano Democratic Club at a candidates forum, a debate that led to Mariko’s endorsement by the NSDC. The NSDC has posted this video of the forum.
