Dr. Khalid Ahmed Fundraiser
For Steve Westly
Cerritos , California
December 8, 2005
“With
both BA and an MBA from Stanford University, member of more than 50 boards
and commissions – including the Franchise Tax Board, the Board of Equalization,
the State Lands Commissions - and a person who is the State Controller of
California and has served as the Chief Financial Officer of the fifth largest
economy in the world, Mr. Westly will be the toughest opponent for Gov. Schwarzenegger
in 2006,” Dr. Khalid Ahmed, observed at a fundraiser for Mr. Steve Westly
held at his residence on Thursday, December 8, 2005.
A large number of medical doctors and people related to the healthcare sector
were present on the occasion. It was a working day yet the number of those
who had come to attend the function testified to the fact that Mr Westly’s
candidature for Governorship enjoys endorsement.
Dr. And Mrs. Ahmed welcomed the guests who were convinced that Mr. Westly
would fight for people awaiting healthcare and who were strongly supportive
of stem cell research.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Steve Westly told the attendees how important
the health care issue figures in our life. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s
budget cuts would affect the health of the common people. “More than
100 million Americans are suffering from disease like Parkinson’s, diabetes,
AIDS, cancer, and Alzheimer’s – stem cell therapies might be the
answer and cure for them but tendentious politicians are blocking funding
for stem cell research,” he stated. He appreciated efforts of local
small business that are the main taxpayers in the country, especially immigrant
groups who work hard for their living.
Answering questions, he promised better health care propositions by eliminating
middleman from the system, basic health care for everyone including 30% of
uninsured Americans, plus a better school system for kids that caters to 40%
of Latino and African-American dropouts.
Since his election in 2002, Westly has dedicated himself to finding solutions
to California’s problems by putting politics aside and focusing on results.
Notably, as Chairman of the Franchise Tax Board, Westly spearheaded an initiative
that raised $4.5 billion to pay for state services like schools, roads and
parks without raising a nickel in taxes.
As Controller, Westly is the State’s independent fiscal watchdog, making
sure taxpayer dollars are spent to benefit the taxpayers – and no one
else.
