| Info | I’m Matthew Rascon, a life-long Californian, Catholic, and proud San Diegan.
Like many in my generation, I’ve grown up living through an endless stream of “unprecedented times”. From the tragic events of September 11th, 2001, the 2008 market crash, constant wars, ever increasing political divide and even a global pandemic, there hasn’t been a lull for decades and our politicians seem to be actively working against doing what needs to be done to fix the issues our Nation faces instead, embracing the status quo and taking actions to protect their own vested interests.
I’m running for the House of Representatives to represent my home district of CA-48 because I want to fight, not just for myself, but for the needs and wants of the district I proudly call home. It seems like my whole life I’ve seen a constant low approval rating of Congress, and yet both parties continue to put up the same type of candidates whose actions we’ve disapproved. All to reinforce a system that causes the public to continually lose faith in the Legislature. It’s time we change things and push towards cleaning up the House and Senate so that real, needed change can then be enacted.
If you ask politicians what the most important issue facing us right now is they might say its Border protection, or the Defense Budget, or Climate Change, or even how divisive our country has become. I’d say they’d be wrong. The biggest issue facing our nation at this moment is the dire need for political reform and the blatant corruption and indifference caused by way things currently are. While other issues might very well be more important in the grand scheme of things, without fixing the body that’s making the decisions, we’ll constantly face deadlock and failure as our representatives fail to represent us and focus on self-serving goals.
If we want to see real change, real governance by the people and for the people, the first step is to clean up Congress. I’m running to push for that needed change and impose term limits in the House and Senate as well as remove conflicts of interest that lead politicians to put profit and Lobbyist’s wants before the needs of their constituents.
It’s time we heal the Nation, remove the divide and push forward towards a future that isn’t a constant stream of “unprecedented times”. Vote for me, and together we can work towards bringing about the change we need.
