My passion is to help and better my community. I have no kala (money), but what I have is heart.

My vision is to represent the people of my district and community. I want to have the opportunity to be the voice of those in our society that have often been forgotten or silenced through the hardships of life.

I can understand life's challenges at many levels because I have lived them in many ways. Yes, as with every human I too have skeletons in my closets and scuff marks. It has been those life experiences that have allowed me the opportunity to grow and have the depth of compassion I share so freely with others.

I not only understand my neighbors, I am a neighbor. I have walked the walk and traveled the paths to get to where I am. I want to continue to travel those paths of growth together as a community.

I have earned every smile, every tear and every heart beat. I know it has all been a gift that was meant to be shared. I see and hear the pain of those around me because I am one of them.

I am Auntie to many because I believe in myself and others. I believe together we can and will make a difference to better our community. A change of character with a lil beef and a touch of spice. A vote for me is a vote for you. I am never above you, nor am I below. We stand beside each other and together we shall keep it real for all.

I am who I am because of the God I believe in.

I am Auntie to many because I am real.

I am ME… Auntie Lynn L. A. Vasquez-DelaCerna.
