I was born in Boise Idaho, and moved to California in 1988. I spent a couple of years in Santa Cruz, then moved to Oakland and got married. I have two children and after ten years of marriage divorced. I raised my kids as a single mom and was very active in their education. I moved to Sacramento in 2014.
Some of the Government agencies I have worked in include; Alameda Office of Education, Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Covered California and 511. I worked with government officials in these offices and had working relationships with the office administration. I prepared commission packets, arranged meetings, developed policies and standard operating procedures.
I studied nursing and business administration and have worked in health care positions in diverse roles. Some of the agencies I have worked for include: Native American Health Center, UC Davis, Sutter and Dignity. I worked as a certified nursing assistant for several years and cared for the elderly and disabled.
I served on the Board for Oakland School for the Arts. I started out as an emphasis parent leader in dance, participated in the deve- AFFORDABLE HOUSING
- INVEST IN THE YOUTH
- GUN VIOLENCE
Housing is a human right and we need to return to the American Dream of affording a home. A good home provides protection. Children are less exposed to violence and sexual abuse. It can increase the opportunities for earning income. It is easier to send kids to school and after school programs. Having a home gives you better access to healthcare. A safe and good home reduces mental stress and makes it easier to be included. We must keep this dream alive.
We are in a housing crisis and the increase in housing prices is causing economic harm. People are spending the majority of their income on housing. With the price of housing so high people are facing food insecurity, can’t afford health care and cutting costs where possible. It greatly reduces the demand for consumer goods. This threatens the wellbeing of the community. There is not a county or state where a minimum wage full time worker can afford a two bedroom apartment.
The burden of significant rent increases makes it more difficult to thrive. We need to invest in affordable rental housing. We need to minimize the harms Covid 19 has caused on renters. We need to create better more accessible subsidized housing. We need to end discriminating practices and segregation with housing.
HIS PASSION FOR JUSTICE AND WORLD PEACE HAS INSPIRED ME FOR YEARS. IT WAS MY SECOND BIRTHDAY WHEN HE WAS KILLED. I RESPECT HIS NON VIOLENT APPROACH TO CIVIL JUSTICE. I RESPECT THE SACRIFICE HE MADE TO BE OUTSPOKEN AND DEMONSTRATE BY EXAMPLE.
