I'm running for State Senate because I know what it's like to overcome difficult odds. I've experienced housing instability, lost job opportunities because of the economic downturn, and discriminatory policies that prevented me from openly loving my wife. I thrived because I had access to quality public schools and found an accepting and supportive community in the San Fernando Valley.

Caroline Menjivar knows firsthand how inequity affects the lives of San Fernando Valley families. Throughout her life, she has overcome difficult odds in pursuit of service to our communities and country.

I believe that your zip code, age, race, gender or sexual identity shouldn't determine your destiny. Let's rewrite the rules so every Californian receives the support they need to stay safe, healthy, and thrive.
Let's work together to create more access to:

Mental health and supportive services for all, including our unhoused neighbors Pathways to housing Jobs with salaries that support a family Quality public schools and higher educational opportunities Affordable childcare Comprehensive health care for all Clean air, fresh water, safe and efficient public transit, and more open spaces

Equality and justice for all
