California State AssemblyCandidate for District 10

It is 1:39 AM and an email comes in: "April breaks global temperature record, marking seven months of new high temperatures (May 16, 2016, London Guardian)"

Again I am hit by the urgent importance.  All of the evidence from peer-reviewed science tells us we need to do more ASAP. In the US military, policy affirms that leadership must face serious issues before they take place. The Pentagon sees climate change as an urgent threat to stable society. For us, climate disruption increases risks of : wildfires, droughts, storm intensities, dangerous temperatures, coastal displacement and more..

In the words of author Naomi Klein, "Do not look away."  

Please "Hug the Monster" with me. In the US Air Force, training to face risks is mandatory because it improves outcomes. I am determined, motivated and prepared to lead us into optimal solutions. I’m a mechanical engineer specializing in energy management and environmental solutions. Engineers solve problems. I have the heart, brains and guts for us to work together in every optimally effective way to make changes at the speed and scale needed!

I know we want to believe somehow it is all going to work out, even if we continue with life and business as usual. We need a massive mobilization for change. Please see RoniJacobi.com and OurGreenChallenge.org.

I am ready to lead us, but I cannot do it alone. 

Please help me help our state. Vote for me for Assembly in the June 7th primary. Also, please spread the word.  This really is a grassroots campaign and YOU can make THE difference.  Thank you very much for every positive thing you do.

"I support Veronica Jacobi for State Assembly. Other candidates talk about the environment and job, but Roni doesn't just talk the talk, she lives the talk.

ALL of these programs were and are job creators." - Jane Nielson
