Collapse all
|Healthcare costs are ever increasing and out of control. I support coordination of benefits and reining in the medical industry.
Rebecca believes in transparency in government and will listen to her constituents.

Joe Patterson (R)
Address Cost of Living
Keep Our Communities Safe
Rebecca supports veterans and feels their benefits should not be taxed by California. She will work to see that this is changed. Rebecca is also passionate about expanding broadband access, reliability and competition everywhere in California. In rural and suburban areas access would enhance work from home possibilities, educational opportunities, ecommerce, telecommutes and, as a side effect, reduced highway traffic. The funding exists but gets stuck in regional control fighting. Our future economy is reliant on our future workers. Support for our Community Colleges and Early Childhood Education is key to securing a trained and content American workforce.
Rebecca is passionate about our future and current well being.
