Vivaris Capital is a strategic asset management organization focusing on a multidisciplinary approach to obtaining maximum return for its investors through a variety of debt and equity mechanisms¹. J Christopher Mizer, Founder of Vivaris, previously published a peer-reviewed paper in the area of hematology with Famela Ramos² and has supported her entry into politics.

Famela Ramos has a Nursing and Research background and has performed advanced research leading to a total of 7 peer reviewed publications in collaboration with internationally renowned universities including University of California San Diego, University of Utah and Indiana University³,⁴,⁵,⁶,⁷.

"At the PTA Debate, Famela was an extremely effective advocate for fiscal responsibility of the School Board. She was the only candidate to question the wisdom of entering into a $150 million bond extension that could encumber the District for the next 40 years. She also offered compelling insight into maintaining a financial reserve while increasing available resources in classrooms," said Mr. Mizer, who attended the Debate. "Famela advocated for accountability to students and parents and independence from Unions and special interest groups who receive preferential treatment in contracting. Based on her performance, Famela clearly was the winner of the Debate."

"I believe the role of a school board is akin to a corporate board in which the members are held responsible for oversight of the institution. In my neighboring district a $30 million dollar budget mistake occurred⁸, I am committed to not allowing such incidents to occur in my School District," said Famela Ramos. "I am honored to have the endorsement of Vivaris Capital, an organization that has generated thousands of jobs and contributed to the development of technology and science in this country."
