Candidate for
Member of the State Assembly; District 69

Tom Daly was elected in November of 2012 to represent California's 69th Assembly District, which includes the cities of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Garden Grove, and Orange.

Daly was born and raised in the 69th District. He first sought elective office in 1986, winning election to the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Union High School District. Since that victory, Daly has won eight consecutive elections, including serving as Mayor of Anaheim from 1992-2002 and Orange County Clerk-Recorder from 2002-2012.

When elected two years ago, Daly promised to clean up and improve state government. The state's budget is now balanced, with a growing surplus. Landmark education reform means more funding for schools, especially for students in Santa Ana, Anaheim, and Garden Grove . And the state is paying down our debts and building a genuine reserve.

Daly has received statewide recognition for my leadership in making the state bureaucracy more accountable and responsive to citizens. Now, veterans will better obtain the benefits they deserve. Routine paperwork for new businesses will be processed in a matter of days, not weeks.

Last year, Daly led the successful passage of a bill that enables an innovative, cost-savings approach to the $1.3 billion widening of Interstate 405 in Orange County. The Orange County Transportation Authority says this new law will save Orange County taxpayers approximately $100 million and speed up the project completion date by two to three years. Already, other regional transportation agencies have embraced this new law, leading to massive savings for taxpayers across the state.
