I’m a father, husband, veteran, attorney, writer, and public servant. The son of immigrants from Mexico and El Salvador, I grew up in Boyle Heights and was the first in my family to go to college. I went on to law school at Boston College and served as a Marine Judge Advocate in Afghanistan. When I came back, I represented homeless and disabled veterans in Skid Row. In 2018, I ran against a nine-term incumbent and became the youngest city councilmember in the history of Whittier. I won hard-fought victories, lowered police response times, took our city’s budget from deficit to surplus, renovated our library, and invested millions in our roads and parks. Now, I am running against another career politician to bring power back to the voters and restore integrity to a scandal-plagued Senate district.
  • I will stand up to powerful special interests and polluters.
  • I will work to lower the cost of living and improve our safety and quality of life.
  • I will bring integrity and accountability to a scandal-plagued senate district.
For me, it’s all about the cost of living. Working-class Californians are really struggling. Housing costs, medical costs, and the cost of food and gas just keep going up and up. We need leaders who will work on behalf of working voters and stop bending over backward for special interests.
I have written two books: A Millenial’s Guide to Running for Office: How to Get Elected Without Kissing the Ring and Sonnets of Sin & A Tale of Partisanship & Pragmatism in the Age of Donald Trump.
The vision to know what to do and the moral courage to get it done.
I want people to say that I led with my authentic self, that I didn’t back down when it counted, and that I cleaned up the culture of political corruption and complacency in Southeast Los Angeles.
I was in Kindergarten. President Clinton sent Marines into Somalia. I remember the images of them landing in a war zone wearing fatigues. Little did I know that would be me one day.
I was a valet responsible for parking cars outside of parties in Beverly Hills. I had to wear white shoes, white trousers, a white dress shirt, and a lavender bow tie. We gave roses to passengers. Having grown up in Boyle Heights, it was my first time meeting wealthy people. This experience opened my eyes to the vast wealth gap between the poor and the rich in our community.
