Rep. Soto is running for reelection in District 49 in order to continue his efforts to refocus government on the LONG-TERM INTERESTS

be given the opportunity to be heard. Rep. Soto specifically avoids accepting excessive donations from businesses, lobbyist and trade
organizations or other special interests so that, if reelected, he will have the ability to govern impartially on behalf of the citizens of
