| Collapse all
As your Assemblymember, I’ll expand opportunity for every family by protecting good paying jobs; creating housing our workforce, first responders, seniors, and veterans can afford; and improving public safety. Locally, I’ve successfully shut down illicit massage parlors, and demanded gun control to keep deadly weapons off our streets. I’ll introduce tough measures against retail theft and violent crime and champion law enforcement approaches that build trust within our communities. I’m endorsed by California Labor Federation, California Federation of Teachers, Courage California, and California Legislative Black Caucus for my results in bringing leaders together to create solutions to challenging issues. I’m proud of my track record to expand housing, mental health and addiction services for people experiencing homelessness– and will take these approaches to ending homelessness, creating more affordable housing, and improving mental health access to Sacramento. I’ll work fiercely to reduce carbon pollution causing climate change. And I’m not afraid to stand up to Big Oil to hold them accountable for polluting our communities.
- Addressing Cost of Living/Pocketbook Concerns - The cost of basic needs such as housing, groceries and healthcare have skyrocketed – all issues I have experienced myself. As Assemblymember, I’ll fight to address pocketbook issues for the well-being of every Californian.
- Affordable Housing/Homelessness - I will champion local housing creation that generates local jobs and homeownership opportunities for our workforce, First Responders, and future generations. Homelessness is a crisis. I’ll bring my local leadership in improving homeless outreach coordination, expanding transitional housing, and enhancing mental health programs to Sacramento.
- Safe Neighborhoods & Schools – I am a fierce advocate for safe neighborhoods and accountable law enforcement approaches that build trust with the community. My strong record includes limiting liquor stores and banning hourly rate hotels in my city; fighting human trafficking; shutting down illicit massage parlors; instituting police reform measures; and demanding gun control laws that take weapons off our streets and away from our schools.
