ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF CRIME IS TO HELP PEOPLE CLEAR OLD CRIMINAL RECORDS. I BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE, BUT OLD RECORDS CAN HAUNT PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFE AND PREVENT THEM FROM FINDING EMPLOYMENT. I’M PROUD TO HAVE HELPED PUT TOGETHER A COALITION OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS, PRIVATE ATTORNEYS AND COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO HELP ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.

-DAVID SCHOENTHAL, POINT RICHMOND BUSINESS ASSOCIATION
