I am an environmental, civil rights and consumer rights attorney with a demonstrated history of public service especially with the underserved in our community. I am familiar with the challenges experienced by small businesses since I have had the experience of running my own small business. I am the candidate that is most familiar with the issues and concerns of the various communities that make up our district since I have always attended school, lived here and worked in the district.
I have a long history of advocacy in Sacramento working to promote consumer rights, healthcare, education, criminal and civil justice reform and fair housing laws. This history of working directly with legislators in Sacramento makes me the candidate who will best be able to step in mid-session to fill our open seat in the Assembly. As a lawyer, I have helped this community by protecting the right to vote, advocating for clean air by representing this area before the South Coast Air Quality Management District, fighting against the release of toxic pesticides into the environment, fighting in court for law enforcement accountability against their use of excessive force; arguing for fairness in criminal sentencing guidelines and for second chances for those who evidenced their rehabilitation; protecting the rights of students to fair access to education; and by advocating for the right to jobs on public works projects being built within our community. As your next State Assembly Member, I will use that experience, determination and commitment to this community to work with you to promote transparency, create jobs, address homelessness and restart our economy.
