Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Kenneth Young, Running as an independent for California's 24th Congressional District. I am a Civil Engineer with knowledge in Energy, Transportation and Civil infrastructure. I believe that congress is for the people and should be by the people. I decided to run for office after hearing from a friend who was spending 50% of her income on health insurance. Between crazy expanding cost in Health Care and the cap on the deducting of State and Local taxes on Federal taxes I needed to express my distaste with this congress and both parties as I see more and more young professional families leaving the state.
