I was born in Santa Rosa into a middle class suburban household. I attended the University of California at Berkeley, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Economics in 1992. I have worked in the banking and lending industry and also education as a computer network administrator. I married in 2002 and have two daughters. In my lifetime, I have watched as prosperity has continue to be available to fewer and fewer people despite an increase in the number of people with college degrees. This is not accidental. It is the result of the wealthy and powerful lobbying our leaders for fifty years to strip the working class of rights and privileges, offshore jobs to foreign countries, and create a permanent unemployment rate which makes people fearful of leaving their jobs, afraid that they will be unable to secure another similar or better job. It is quite frankly a waste for a nation to not make the most productive use of all of the people in their country who want to work and earn an income.

  • The United States needs a universal health care system that reduces costs and expands coverage to everyone
  • Our citizens need a reduction in real unemployment, an increase in real wages, and a federal job guarantee for all who want to work
  • All people, regardless of religion, race, gender, sexuality are entitled to the same human rights and guarding and expanding those rights is the most important function of the government
Health care, workers rights, anti-trust legislation, human and civil rights expansion
Honesty and integrity. Without those, one cannot be a good representative.
To always be working to improve the welfare of his constituents and to make sure that their rights are not taken away or abused
It's beneficial, but if that experience is used to increase the power of the oligarchy, it would be better to have a novice in office rather than someone who is experience and corrupt
Making sure that its citizens have the opportunity for economic upward mobility, breaking down racial division and moving towards racial harmony, and reducing the power of the national oligarchy
It is necessary when you have 434 other congressmen to find a place where a majority can agree. But there are some basic principles of freedom which are non-negotiable.
