| Collapse all
- Education - Work to ensure our schools are funded and all students have access to a quality education
- Housing - Advocate for smart housing/home-ownership and enhance programs for veterans, seniors, and homeless population
- Healthcare/Environmental Issues - Work to protect the environment and improve the health of our residents
I am also passionate about protecting the environment to improve our residents' health. The top environmental issues in my district are air pollution, reliance on fossil fuels, and making the Port of Los Angeles more efficient. I plan to promote clean and renewable energy in the district, including advocating for 100% green energy and supporting the electrification of the district.
With my diverse background and multi-lingual aptitude and abilities, I represent a unique approach to politics. In 2007, I was elected to serve as a board member for the Hawthorne School District, and then, in 2018, I was elected to serve the city as councilman. I have always had an interest in changing politics for the good of the community, but my call to human service took precedence at the beginning of my professional career.
