Jayadeva de Silva entered politics out of concern for his children's future and the responsibility of his generation to ensure future generations do not face hardships. As an independent candidate, he believes the government should empower all people by ensuring access to basics like shelter, education, healthcare, a healthy environment, safe communities, and security in old age. His goals of social justice, fiscal responsibility, and environmental protection do not belong to any single party, and he aims to remind citizens that the government has an important role in protecting current and future welfare and creating a sustainable society.Beau Doolittle Alabama Senate, District 35

In Puerto Rico specifically, over 40% of the population lives below the poverty level, with hundreds of families living on less than $10,000 annually - a greater level of poverty than Mississippi, the poorest US state.

Driving under the influence has many negative consequences. It is illegal in all 50 states and penalties have increased in recent decades due to advocacy groups like MADD. The costs of a DUI conviction can exceed $4,000 and include license suspension. Alcohol impairs driving skills by reducing reaction time and judgment, which can endanger lives and lead to guilt over causing injury or death.Ad

- 7. Why MADD? On May 25,2006, my cousin Steve Ambriz was hit and killed by a driver that was under the influence. Since then a new law has been set into place, AB 808 Ambriz Act, which requires California drivers to sign a statement that acknowledges what will happen if they do drive and kill while under the influence. MADD is working towards what I know my cousin would want to help protect the streets we drive on.

MADD works in college areas to promote safe driving and that if you are going to drink, to have a designated driver.
