- I have a doctorate in public administration with an expertise in government ethics.
- I represent the interests of the many, not the few. The people of CA-40 deserve a representative that is reflective of the community.
i. I believe addressing climate change is the paramount issue of our time. If the earth sustains damage that we cannot correct during our lifetime we will have failed future generations to come.
Immigration Policy: Family separation.
i. I support the idea that there is a need for comprehensive migration policy reform to address prohibited entry into the United States but separating families must cease to be a practice.

i. I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with women who are not given the recognition they deserve. Women are equal to men in every way.
Housing Policy: Affordable housing.
i. I propose a resolution to address the issue of affordable housing similar to the income tax bracket schedule. More specifically, units pricing would be dependent on number of bedrooms, rent reasonableness or fair market value (whichever is less), and profit caps.
ii. Methodology and the formal policy proposal shall follow the March primary.
iii. Property owners/landlords should be able to earn income from income from rental properties, but it needs to be reasonable and earnings must be federally regulated.
