Political Beliefs
Political Philosophy
I believe that Congress can, and must, do better. I feel called to ensure the North State has a representative who listens to them and fights for them.
We live in troubled times. Yet, troubled times give rise to big ideas, big movements, and big change. I am running for Congress because I want to be a part of the movement that inspires all people to engage with politics on a deeper level, to offer our talents, and to take our seats at the table.
It is my conviction that if we listen to each other and work together, it will be our hope, our success, and our joy that unite us.
I am incredibly proud to be a California Democrat and I will be an asset to my party and constituents. Our party is the party that champions the inherent rights and dignity of all people. That sentiment is at the core of my faith and the core of who I am , how I make decisions, and how I will lead.
