Chris Brown puts ideas into action.
His brilliant proposal to recycle electronic waste will funnel a minimum of $40 million directly into LA’s bankrupt education system, create over 1,000 new jobs and put hundreds of qualified teachers back to work.
$40 million. 1,000 new jobs. In this economy.
But Chris Brown couldn’t find anyone at City Hall that seemed to care – including his own District 10 City Councilman, incumbent Herb Wesson, who couldn’t be bothered to return any phone calls.
So Chris Brown came up with another idea and put it into action:
He decided to run for City Council.
And now people are starting to listen. Lots of people.
Chris Brown is one of the youngest candidates in city election history. At only 29, he is already a successful business executive and entrepreneur in telecommunications and information technology.
Born and bred in Los Angeles, Chris is a true homegrown visionary.
$40 million. 1,000 new jobs. In this economy.
Chris has known all along what internationally recognized economists like Simon Johnson are now saying in the NY Times and on MSNBC-TV: that fixing our economy, locally and nationally, starts with directly funding education and putting our qualified teachers back to work.
Teachers like Chris’ wife, an LAUSD 8th Grade teacher with a Master’s Degree in Education who was laid off due to budget cuts. Those hard family knocks, and his own hard knocks on the disinterested doors of City Hall, give Chris Brown a fresh take on public service that’s passionate, personal, and urgently practical.
$40 million. 1,000 new jobs. In this economy.
