What inspired you to run for this o ce?
A bad experience with my terminally ill father. He was discharged and transferred to a rehabilitation center. A 20-minute drive took three hours, leaving my father dehydrated and exhausted, and my family anxious about his whereabouts. I’ve bootstrapped a multimillion-dollar company. I aim to use my business acumen and creativity to help ESD 11 become an industry leader.
Over the last 20 years, the incumbents have been nancially irresponsible. We’re over $80 million in debt with decreased quality of prehospital care. I will bring real world experience when it comes to being nancially responsible and provide the highest level of prehospital care through paramedicine, not EMT-Basic.
Knowledge of life without adequate EMS service. Volunteer spirit, willingness to serve and protect our community where we live.
JOEL OCASIO IS A WRITE IN CANDIDATE.
