It doesn’t take a mathematician to figure out that Congress is a dysfunctional mess. They’d rather fight each other with the goal of scoring points on cable news instead of focusing on sustaining and creating jobs and balancing budget.  Growing up, my grandpa told me that in Cuba, democracy was not an option. Citizenship in the United States requires us to do more than complain about our problems, we have to work together to fix them.  Our problems can’t be blamed on only the Republicans or only Democrats. We need more people in both parties committed to working together and finding real, practical solutions.  	I’m running for Congress to represent you with unity and be your voice in Washington. I will work with anyone, regardless of party affiliation, to sustain and create jobs, invest in education and balance our budget, with a plan that stands up for the middle class keeps taxes low and protects Medicare and Social Security.  Omar is another Trump supporter running for Congress, in ‘liberal’ California. Omar is running against Maxine Waters for the 43rd District
