| Collapse all
- CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP - Build on the practical solutions that we have already implemented in Los Angeles, such as making solar options cheaper and more accessible, and eliminating plastic pollution and Styrofoam™. We need better leadership from Sacramento to protect open space, eliminate pollutants, and incentivize sustainable solutions for the climate crisis.
- AFFORDABLE HOUSING & TRANSPORTATION - Protect renters and existing affordable housing, and focus on neighborhoods. I will also work to increase access to safe, effective public transit and fight for improvements to traffic and pedestrian safety.
- EDUCATION & ECONOMIC SECURITY - Work to increase funding for K-12 public schools, community colleges and the CSU and UC systems. I will focus on access to vocational training and pathways to good-paying union jobs, including in the new green economy.
I grew up going to protests and rallies. I was raised on the idea that working people need to organize and stand up for themselves because that is the only way for everyone to get what they deserve.
My experience and background will allow me to focus on the issues that matter to the people of the district.
