Even in non-election years, I use my campaign money to reach out to and communicate with Artesians.  For example, this year, I have used your donations to convene town hall meetings with residents, to engage our faith-based communities in volunteerism through "Artesia in Action", and to support local organizations, such as the Friends of the Artesia Library, the Artesia Historical Society, and the Artesia-Cerritos Women's Club, as well as the South Asian Network, the Community Family Guidance Center, and local PTAs.   Your donations help me to continue to serve my constituents effectively.  Thank you.
