Cheryl Brown Runs for Re-Election to California’s 47th District

California’s 47th Assembly District representative Cheryl Brown is running for re-election this November, hoping to “finish what I started,” Brown said. “Although we have accomplished quite a bit in the two years I have been in office, we still have a lot of work to be done,” said Brown, who campaigns against Gil Navarro for the seat. California’s budget is at a surplus for the first time in years, the economy is rebounding and jobs are coming back, said Brown, “yet… for many the economic recovery hasn’t come fast enough, and I want to continue my work to ensure those folks are not forgotten.” Despite lower regional unemployment rates, Brown said her focuses are on “more help for small business, including access to resources to help them grow and expand,” and “more resources for our students so they can gain the valuable skills and knowledge needed to succeed in an ever globally competitive world.” Brown said she also wants to continue work with local law enforcement to ensure public safety and “reshape the image of some of our cities.” Brown graduated from San Bernardino Valley College and Cal State San Bernardino, holding a bachelor’s degree in geography, has worked with the San Bernardino County Planning Department and spent 17 years with both the San Bernardino County and city planning commissions, serving as president for the California County Planning Commissioners Association. Brown said highlights of her tenure in the 47th District include solving “redevelopment issues with the State Department of Finance” in Rialto and Fontana; helping the city of San Bernardino become eligible for “future state funding,” and helping “resolve a stalemate issue with San Bernardino Unified School District’s personal board, which opened up an additional 400 jobs.” “My main goal for the district is to foster an overall spirit of collaboration, cooperation and inclusiveness,” Brown said. “When we work together we can ensure that our students are getting a quality education, we can collaborate on policies that will attract business and jobs, and provide the type of services… that the tax-paying public expects from its government.”
