Campaign themes

2016

Vasquez issued the following statement regarding her bid for office:

I will advocate to pass commonsense legislation that serves my constituents; for example, responsible gun safety laws; ensure that affordable housing is available in large cities like San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles; continue to improve the quality of health care coverage and work to make it more affordable for working people; and pass legislation that ensures Californians are stewards of the earth and its resources. I chose to run for office because the incumbent has been on the wrong side of issues that matter to us.
