| Collapse all
- As a councilmember, I’ve balanced my city’s budget 4 years running, secured for my city the highest possible credit rating, cut waste and duplication and got more out of every hard earned tax dollar, that’s how you know In the Assembly, I’ll tackle inflation, keep taxes low, and treat your hard-earned tax dollars with respect.
- As an elected Councilmember, I have made funding public safety to protect our families a top priority. I passed tough gun safety ordinances, prioritized funding for public safety, and worked with police to lower crime and make my city one of the safest in California. You can count on me to continue to make public safety my focus in the Assembly.
- Getting results on homelessness means making tough, compassionate decisions to take back our public spaces so seniors, children, and families can feel safe again in our public spaces. Here’s how: move people out of encampments and illegally parked RVs and into housing now. And I’ll pass a strict conservatorship law to mandate hospitalization and long-term treatment for homeless people living with mental illness and addiction.
