Expand all | Collapse all

As head of the North Valley Labor Federation, I fight for workers of all political stripes. Rather than pick fights over things that divide us, I work with his members, local legislators, and community leaders to find common ground, focus on real solutions, and enact common-sense policies to create an economy that provides opportunity for everyone.

As a member of three county-wide Workforce Development Boards and a Stanislaus County executive committee, I am working to develop an economic growth plan, create jobs, expand technical and skilled education opportunities for local students, and build sustainable job growth with good wages and health care.

I am an elected member of the Keyes Community Services District Board, where I have gained first-hand knowledge of the challenges to meeting the water needs of the Valley. I’ll fight in Sacramento for our fair share of funding for water storage projects and clean water programs, and oppose transferring our water to Southern California.

Community service and expanding educational opportunity are core to my values. I serve on the United Way Boards of Stanislaus and Merced Counties and work with local school boards to connect students to career technical education.

  • I'll work with anyone, regardless of party, to get to the root causes of our biggest problems -- lack of jobs, affordability, health care, and education -- and change the status quo.
  • Create jobs with benefits and expand technical and skilled education opportunities for local students.
  • Enhance public safety, including hiring more police officers who reflect the communities they serve, fund crime prevention efforts and fund a plan to mitigate and suppress wildfires.
As Executive Director of the North Valley Labor Federation, a member of three county-wide Workforce Development Boards, and a member of a Stanislaus County bipartisan collaboration creating a regional economic growth strategy, I am passionate about preparing people for jobs, building a skilled workforce, and improving the quality of jobs, and creating a level playing field for workers.
I favor our current process led by an independent redistricting commission.
Absolutely. We must find common ground and focus on real solutions to enact common-sense policies.
