| Collapse all
- My home-grown connection to Stockton and my journey from the daughter of Latino immigrants to a dedicated public servant have inspired me to run to give back further to my community. My time providing government resources assistance, along with my work as a county investigator and background in public service, and my passion for helping people, especially vulnerable and marginalized communities, have given me the experience to continue fostering a community where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. I understand the struggles and barriers of families, small business owners, and the underserved, and I am committed to bringing about real change and support through my leadership in the Assembly.
- If elected, one of my main priorities and focus areas will be to enhance public safety and tackle issues like petty theft, burglaries, crime, and keeping the spread of street drugs like fentanyl from reaching our children. As a candidate dedicated to creating safer communities, I am honored to have the endorsement of leading public safety organizations, public safety officers, and respected leaders in my community. If elected, I will be fully dedicated to addressing crime and ensuring that those who commit them are punished fairly. Our community deserves to be safe and protected and I am committed to providing solutions that are collaborative and put residents first.
- I am focused on revitalizing our economy and making living in our community more affordable. I am committed to tackling the high cost of living by advocating for policies that support affordable housing and workforce housing, ensuring that homeownership and renting are within reach for everyone. Additionally, I am dedicated to bolstering our local economy by providing support to small businesses, empowering them, and working with them to find solutions that encourage growth and innovation. Workforce training will ensure our community members are equipped with the skills needed for the jobs of today and tomorrow.
