“It’s a position I have often wanted to run for office for, but more important is the years that I have served on city council it’s given me a lot of experience and it even goes further back when you look at the public service part of helping out your community – that’s one of the big things that’s always driven me to continue to work with the community – is the public service, and I believe that taking this next step is really going to be helpful to the community.” – Sal Quintero, Candidate Fresno County Supervisor District 3.
