What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Fauzia Rizvi (D)

I have focused on ensuring a balanced budget without sacrificing high-quality services during my tenure on the Western Municipal Water District Board of Directors. As a small business owner, I have made difficult decisions in order to keep my business running. And as a non-profit leader, I have been on the frontlines of the pandemic providing resources to those most in need through weekly food drives. I have seen the effect on Americans who struggle as the American dream falls further out of reach.

My commitment to you as your Assemblymember:

-Focus on lifting-up businesses impacted by the pandemic

-Rebuild our local economy through workforce development programs

-Invest in our local infrastructure

–Enhance and improve veterans’ services

-Address the housing crisis and make homeownership more affordable

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Fauzia Rizvi (D)

Coming from Water background. The Water and the Climate is going to be the greatest challenge.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Fauzia Rizvi (D)

Yes!
