About Carl Demaio
CA State Representative Carl DeMaio is a businessman-turned-civic watchdog. DeMaio is Chairman of Reform California and represents the 75th State Assembly District in the California State Legislature. Carl DeMaio knows how to reform government - and he has built an entire business and a political career on making broken government programs work again for the people. At the age of 23, Carl DeMaio started his first company - the Performance Institute - to provide training and consulting solutions to help financially-troubled government entities cut costs while improving performance. DeMaio turned his business success into a life-long crusade to improve the performance, transparency, efficiency and accountability of government at all levels. DeMaio won a seat on the San Diego City Council in 2008 - and helped turn that city around from the brink of bankruptcy through his \"Roadmap to Recovery\" reform agenda. Carl DeMaio is no stranger to adversity. Carl\'s mother passed away two weeks after his father abandoned the family. At age 14, Carl was taken in by Jesuits and given the opportunity to earn his way to Georgetown University.\"I learned from a young age that no matter how bad things get, there is always a way to overcome any challenge,\" said Carl.\"I\'m grateful to the Jesuits for instilling in me both a disciplined work ethic and a strong sense of public service.\" Visit:
