Ray Cruz - Candidate for SVUSD Board

If any other local school board candidates would like to send me their information, I will post it:

Dear Friends,

It has been an honor and a blessing to be a resident of Simi Valley and to serve the community in many different areas.

As your candidate, I am proud to report that I earned my Bachelors Degree in Education from the Herbert Lehman College – City University of New York and recently earned certificates in counseling and mediation from the American Association of Christian Counselors. I also serve on several boards including the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center Foundation, Simi Valley Community Foundation, and World Impact – Los Angeles. Past organizations have included Southern California Special Olympics, Eisner Pediatric Medical Center, and the Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic.

Although I feel that I have accomplished much, there is still more to do especially at the Unified School District. That is why I am running for School Board Trustee.

However, there are other candidates running for two vacant board positions and I will need your help to be a successful candidate. To that end, I would be honored to have you join my campaign by providing me your endorsement and the financial support I need to win.

In order to get our message out to voters, I will need the financial resources to run a strong campaign. I am asking you for a contribution of $25, $50, $100 or whatever you can do to help me with my race. If you are able to help, please make your check out to Committee to Elect Ray Cruz for School Board and send your contribution to:


Committee to Elect Ray Cruz
2075 North Potter Avenue
Simi Valley, California 93065


Thank you, very much, for your consideration. With your support, I know we will be successful.
If you should have any questions about my race or my candidacy, please feel free to call me at 805-432-8209.


Sincerely,


Raymond Cruz,
Campaign ID # 1289981

Commitment to Leadership and Keeping Our Kids First

Anyone know why Bob La Belle "doesn't want to be elected" to the school board? Who do we thank for this? He was a shoe-in to win. I hope he is personally OK but I am grateful he has apparently lost interest.

Tim, do you notice the whole piece has no actual issues but only qualifications?

Will you be telling us at the end who you would like to see elected?

Look out Simi Valley...It sounds like Raymond Cruz is another Norm Walker. We need candidates who don't have a hidden agenda. Is that why he didn't address any issues?

To answer the question above, I have no intention of endorsing or suggesting anyone vote a particular way. I plan on posting just about anything anyone wants to send to me. My e-mail address if a candidate wants to send information, is tim@timkeaney.org.

As for issues, and the lack of them in ray's announcement, which issues would you have liked Ray to bring up, and which issues do the voters/readers think will drive this election?

According to the Acorn, Cruz wants forced teaching of creationism in Simi Valley Schools. This can lead to lawsuits that drain millions from the classroom! Did Norm Walker change his name to Ray Cruz?!

I don't get it either Jimmy. Local school boards don't have control over the state standards.

He either doesn't know that or he was trying to send a message that he is a conservative Christian candidate.

I think he was sending a message.
