### 2012[edit]

On his 2012 campaign site, Mendoza outlines his campaign themes:

* "We need our politicians to lead us and our country with honesty and truth. To have passion and a desire to make changes based on character. Who will lead by example, which will rally citizens together for the common good with integrity and dignity. It is my vision to bring these leadership qualities back to our government so we can have hope for a bright future, to have that shining city on a hill, not only for us, but for our grandchildren and the generations to come."
