| Collapse all
I have extensive community leadership roles include serving as Chair of the Immigration Resources Center of San Gabriel Valley and President of the National Women’s Political Caucus of the San Gabriel Valley. I also served as Member and Past-President of the Monrovia Rotary Club, Member and Past-President of the Foothill Unity Center which focuses on housing and feeding members of the community, and as a 15-year Board Member of the Boys and Girls Club of the Foothills
As our next Congressmember for the 31st District, I will make sure our voices are heard, our concerns addressed, and our families kept safe.
- An Environmental Champion in Congress: I am a highly dedicated environmentalist who has demonstrated a deep commitment to preserving open spaces, protecting water and air quality, and advocating for sustainable policies throughout her career. As a past chair of the LA Regional Water Quality Control Board, co-creator of HR 7279, and environmental chair of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG), I played a pivotal role in shaping and implementing environmental initiatives to safeguard natural resources and promote ecological balance. I have worked tirelessly to enforce water quality regulations, promote sustainable water management practices, and engage with stakeholders to address pollution concerns effectively.
- A Champion of Public Safety: I am a dedicated champion for public safety, recognizing the need for comprehensive reforms and investments to address today’s evolving challenges. As our next Congresswoman for District 31, I will work to create a safer and more just society which encompasses various aspects of public safety, including law enforcement, criminal justice, prison reform, gun violence prevention, and addressing sexual assault.
- A Champion for Women’s Rights: Drawing from m extensive work and leadership roles in government and groundbreaking women’s organizations, I am committed in promoting and protecting the rights and well-being of all women in my district and beyond. I will continue to fight for funding, information, and enforcement to guarantee the hard-earned rights are accessible to all. As the next Congresswoman, I will continue my decades-long advocacy for a woman’s right to choose. I will actively oppose anti-choice legislation such as waiting periods, undue burdensome requirements on doctors, and limits on medical abortions. I will champion access to comprehensive reproductive care including access to accurate health care information for all.
Currently there are two pieces of legislation that address the Banning of Stock Trading; Bipartisan Ban on Congressional Stock Ownership Act (Rep. Jayapal) and Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act (Rep. Ossoff). I agree with both of these two bills. I do find the bill authored by Rep. Ossoff, as preferable as it would require members of Congress to choose between divesting their stock portfolios or putting them in a blind trust.
