| Collapse all
- Protect jobs and small businesses in San Mateo County and the Bay Area
- Restore California's high quality education system, making sure that our schools receive the state and federal funding they are due
- Fight anti-Semitism in Congress, our schools and throughout the United States
Our national debt skyrocketed during the previous administration, jeopardizing our economy and social welfare programs. Hard working Americans who pay for social security and medicaid out of their paychecks should be able to count on receiving those benefits in retirement. I will work in Congress to reduce the debt and curb unnecessary spending. We need wise debt and intelligent spending policies. I will also promote job creation and support for small businesses.
