| Collapse all
- Putting the People Back in Charge: Too many decisions that affect our communities are made far away by people who don’t understand our region. I believe government should work with communities, not around them. I’ll focus on real engagement through town halls, local advisory groups, and direct accountability so that working families have a real say in housing, infrastructure, and economic decisions that shape their lives.
- Strong Public Schools Mean Real Opportunity: Every student deserves a fair shot, but too many schools in our region are under-resourced. As a former school board member, I’ve seen what works. We need to invest in smaller class sizes, more counselors and support staff, and stronger career pathways tied to local industries. Education should connect directly to opportunity, whether that’s college, skilled trades, or careers in healthcare, energy, or advanced manufacturing.
- Healthcare You Can Actually Access: In too many parts of our district, getting basic healthcare means long drives and long waits. That’s not acceptable. I’ll work to expand local clinics, strengthen rural provider networks, and invest in telehealth backed by reliable broadband. Healthcare should be available close to home, including mental health, maternal care, and emergency services. Access shouldn’t depend on your zip code.
I have also been endorsed by leaders including State Treasurer Fiona Ma, Superintendent Tony Thurmond, Senator Tom Umberg, Assemblymembers Josh Lowenthal, Juan Carrillo, John Harabedian, Nick Schultz, James Ramos, Robert Garcia, Corey Jackson, and Congresswoman Norma Torres.
