U.S. House of RepresentativesCandidate for District 3

I had the honor of serving in the Peace Corps in Ethiopia at the start of my career - teaching local children, fostering health programs and ultimately finding a life in public service.  In the California legislature, I expanded community health clinics, protected Lake Tahoe, and developed a state agenda for competitiveness and scientific advancement. In Congress, I’ve delivered millions of dollars of earned benefits to my constituents, including $6.86 million dollars to veterans. I’ve enacted policies that require the military to address the threat of climate change, secured $181 million in new funding for construction at the 3rd District’s Air Force Bases, and established a tenant bill of rights for service members and their families are living in military housing. I’ve championed new middle-class jobs by fixing our infrastructure with strong Make it in America protections, and created better evacuation routes to keep our communities safe from disasters.
