As a former foster parent, Anastasia has created cultural change in foster care and adoption for Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara Counties by bridging the gap between the faith communities and the foster care system to provide more resources to improve both recruitment and retention.
Anastasia currently lives in Santa Barbara with her husband and five children.- I promise to never take money from special interest groups or large corporations or special interest groups.
- I am not a career politician by choice; advocacy is what matters to me - I want to hear what people have to say and give them a voice. Because legislators should be advocates for their constituents, first and above all else. ⠀
- I believe that preventing problems from occuring in the first place is the key to seeing real and lasting change to California's greatest problems.
I believe that preventing problems from occurring in the first place is the key to seeing real and lasting change to California's greatest problems.
I am personally passionate about healthcare, education, and foster care/adoption. I believe when we do these things well we are able to prevent so many other problems like human trafficking, homelessness, incarceration rates, teen pregnancy, poverty, and more.
Did you know that children who age out of foster care have higher rates of homelessness, incarceration and teen pregnancy? Did you know that children in foster care are far more likely to be victims of human trafficking? When we serve the children who find themselves in foster care well, we prevent so many problems from occurring.
Did you know that one in five children are dyslexic? Did you know our legislature has failed to implement mandatory early screening or provide evidence-based curriculum to teach students to read?
Did you know that America is the only developed nation with a rising maternal mortality rate? Did you know that women of color are even more at risk of dying from pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum issues?
