As a neuroscientist and professor, Dr. Piquado has improved the health and wellbeing of people from children to older adults. Her work includes national efforts to help first responders and veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries and mental health conditions. Tepring also researched the neurobiology and psychology of speech comprehension, and how it is affected by changes in hearing ability as we age. Her research has been awarded grants collectively exceeding $1 million from the U.S. Department of Defense, the American Heart Association, and the U.S. Army. In 2013, Tepring was recognized as a “Distinguished Fellow” by the California State Senate for her work as a Science and Technology Policy Fellow to expand access to services in low-income communities and combat climate change through HOV legislation.

The daughter of a teacher and granddaughter of Air Force service men, Tepring grew up in Sacramento, California. She was a middle and high school math and science teacher serving communities in Sacramento and Los Angeles.

Tepring and her husband, Sgt. John Magallanes of the Long Beach Police Department, have made Rancho Park their home. Tepring and John enjoy the local restaurant scene and socializing with friends.

While California grows and more companies are moving here, too many families in my community are struggling to find good jobs and provide for their children. I will be a voice for our families in Sacramento and work to keep our neighborhoods safe, strengthen our schools and give every child a chance to succeed. That’s why I have earned the endorsement of Assemblymember Adam Gray and Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin.

 As a Neuroscientist, I was funded by the American Heart Association and the U.S. Army to help students and service members find good jobs. I helped the Department of Defense treat first responders and veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries. I am proud of my work as a Science Fellow at the California State Senate to expand access to healthcare services and combat climate change through HOV laws.

I will always push for better ideas and fact-based policies over wasting taxpayer money on outdated systems.

Before I was a Scientist, I was a middle and high school Math and Science Teacher. Too many parents in Los Angeles are dealing with underperforming schools. We need to offer families better choices.

I will stand up to the special interests and fight for more affordable housing.

My husband serves in the Long Beach Police Department. I know we can do more to keep our neighborhoods safe, reduce theft, break-ins and other crimes.

I will focus on solving problems and be a VOICE for working families.

In 2008, while still in high school, Grayson Pangilinan returned home and was met with the roaring voice of then-Senator Barack Obama accepting the nomination to become The Democratic Nominee for President of The United States. Obama’s call to action inspired Grayson, like many young Americans, to take up the baton and shape the world of tomorrow. In his community, Grayson saw first-hand the effect education spending cuts were having on school districts statewide, and when deeper cuts were expected, he started a grassroots campaign to lobby the State Legislature to place a sales tax extension on the ballot to fund K-12 public education. Later, he worked for Governor Jerry Brown, Assemblyman Ken Cooley, and served as an Assistant Field Director for Congressman Ami Bera. While still a full-time college student, he founded my first company and leveraged my passion for green energy to help thousands of homeowners across California remodel their homes to become more energy efficient. Today, he continues his work as a Green Energy Entrepreneur and works in technology/software.
