| Collapse all
- Healthcare Access: I will fight to ensure that everyone, including Medi Cal recipients, veterans, seniors, and working families, has access to affordable, high quality healthcare. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and our system must reflect that. This includes the right to healthcare (including HIV prevention and gender-affirming care), the right to bodily autonomy, and the right to due process.
- Human Rights and Civil Rights: LGBTQ+ rights, immigrants’ rights, and women’s rights are human rights. I will be a strong and unwavering voice in Sacramento for equality, dignity, and justice, and I will oppose any effort to roll back hard won civil rights. No one should ever be denied their civil liberties, and I will fight to make sure underserved communities can defend themselves from discrimination and unlawful arrests.
- An Economy That Works for Everyone: Californians are being priced out of the communities they love. I have spoken with too many people who are working full time and still struggling to afford housing, healthcare, and basic necessities. I will fight for affordability, high paying jobs, strong labor protections, and a fairer tax system that prioritizes working people over wealthy special interests. This also means standing with striking workers and labor unions to secure better conditions, wages, and benefits for the working-class.
As a gay man, I have dealt with discrimination my entire life. I will work to ensure that all marginalized groups have a voice and provide as many opportunities as possible for LGBTQ+ individuals to get involved in politics.
