  • Question:

    In the eighteen years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, fewer than 20-40% of the businesses in our local communities have removed the barriers to access and inclusion. If you are elected, what will you do to influence and advance the civil right of access and inclusion for every American with a disability?

    Answer:

    Listen to: U.S. Rep. Joe Baca (D-CA)

    Baca: Whatever we can do it terms of the legislator, we must begin to communicate and enforce the kinds of laws that are there. And it’s done through city ordinance at the local level or county depending whether it’s a city or a county, incorporated areas to make sure people have access. And that’s why it’s important that we deal with the Disability Act and I support it. Cause, what if it was me or what if it was you that couldn’t get there and we wanted information and we wanted to have access and we wanted to participate.
