Upon setting down roots in Citrus Heights, my mission was clear: to enact positive change. My tenure on the Planning Commission and the Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps Board allowed me to champion job training and open new pathways for at-risk youth. In my role as a former deputy director of Sacramento Self-Help Housing, I've had the privilege of guiding hundreds from homelessness to stability, a testament to my dedication to uplift those in dire need.
Currently, as the vice-chair of the California Housing Partnership Board, I've played a pivotal role in securing affordable housing for countless working families, reaffirming my commitment to fostering a more inclusive and supportive community for everyone. My dedication to public service is unwavering, driven by a vision of a brighter, more equitable future for all. Let's continue this journey together, building a community where every voice is heard, and every family thrives.- Affordable Housing: I will support efforts to provide a path for the affordable housing crisis to affordable solutions, through incenting development, streamlining permitting, and using under-utilized land. Affordable and diverse housing should be kept and made available to all people to make sure that they have a home and renting are well maintained for a steady and flourishing community.
- Education: Improved support to education by improved resource allocation to schools, better remuneration and performance for teachers, as well as career pathways in relation to educational outcomes. I believe that all children are entitled to a quality education because it would help them to lead on their way to a bright future.
- Economic Growth: My goals herein are to spur an increase in our local economy by offering incentives through tax to the small businesses and make it easy for them to get capital, and further development of the workforce. This, combined with investments in these key industries and key infrastructures, would continue to drive job growth as well as assuring our community is stable and continuing to grow
The narrative reinforces the need for policies and initiatives that genuinely reflect and address the community's needs, highlighting how meaningful progress stems from collaborative efforts. "My Life on the Road" illustrates the journey of making tangible differences in people's lives by listening, learning, and leading with empathy. It underscores the belief that effective governance requires a deep respect for the voices we represent, guiding my approach to service and leadership. This book encapsulates the essence of my campaign's focus on community empowerment and the pursuit of practical solutions for the challenges our families face.
Integrity, the cornerstone of service, ensures our actions and policies are in the community's best interest. It's essential for representing our values and interests effectively. Effectiveness, turning intentions into tangible outcomes, has allowed us to address District 7's needs through strategic planning and collaborative efforts. This ability to transform ideas into action is critical for meaningful impact at the state level.
Experience provides insights into local governance and the importance of leveraging our strengths. This knowledge allows for informed decision-making, a quality imperative for navigating state-level complexities. Transparency fosters trust and accountability, ensuring open communication and active constituent participation. Our assemblymember must uphold this transparency, respecting and considering our voices in their decisions.
A genuine commitment to service prioritizes the community's welfare above all. This dedication to improving lives is what drives impactful leadership. Our assemblymember should share this focus, advocating tirelessly for District 7's needs and aspirations.
