I am a Black Trans Woman, Nurse, and Navy Veteran. I served on the re-elect Willie Brown Lavendar Committee, and was Precinct Captain. I later was Precinct Captain for Matt Gonzalez, who was a Green Candidate. I proudly became a Green, because of Matt, and the progressive views they shared, and that we had in common. I am the first Transgender Officer in the history of the City and County of San Francisco. Appointed by the Board of Supervisors, and served at the pleasure of three Mayor's: Willie Lewis Brown Jr., Gavin Newsom, and the late, Ed Lee, for over fourteen years and eight months. I am the oldest of four children, with only my sister and I surviving. I am a Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Sister, and Friend. Many in the LGBT!IA+ Community call me Mother, or Auntie. I have also served on the Ryan White Care Council. Working with a thirty-six million dollar budget, we served the EMA of Marin, Alameda, and San Jose Counties. I was able to get eighty thousand dollars in rollover funds to teach doctors how to work successfully and appropriately with Transgender patients.

Mis 3 prioridades principales
- Mi prioridad es que TODOS los californianos tengan cuidados de la salud de pagador único

- Que las aseguradoras, empresas y los grupos de presión entiendan que este puesto y mis funciones no están a la venta. ¡Trabajaré verdaderamente para el pueblo! ¡Los candidatos del Green Party no aceptan dinero de las empresas! En ninguna circunstancia. ¡Trabajo para la gente de California!

Single Payer Healthcare
I will discuss my premier view on this topic.
As a nurse, I remember calling an insurance company, and inquiring why my client was being denied what they needed for care. It was extememly frustrating, arguing with bureaucrats, who knew nothing about medicine, or the necessity of the care. In 2001 after bankruptcies , were inspected, in several states, it was found that 2.2 million of those were caused by medical bills. This is unacceptable! Californians have requested and desire single payer healthcare. The state has come close to having single payer healthcare, but the insurance industry itself, paid off legislators, to derail AB 1400, and not call it to the floor for a vote! This is the second time this has occurred in California! That Corporate Politicians, derailed a bill that the people of California wanted. I believe that there is a way to bring the insurance companies to the table and have them insist that the legislators bring a bill to the floor, and get it passed, and forwarded to the Governor, to sign. Insurance is supporsed to work for the people, and not investors, stockholders, lobbyists, or corporated politicians. I intend to work on a plan to have singlepayer healthcare, brought to the floor successfully for the people of California, because that is what the people, doctors, nurses, and patients themselves, all want! I endorse single payer healthcare. It will take a lot of hard work, but it can be done! There is a way to do it, but it can't be done by a "corporate politician!" That is why I am running for Insurance Commissioner. I am not a coprorate "tool." I will work for ALL people/consumers, Californians. I do not accept any money from corporations or the industry which I am being elected to oversee. I will offer transparency, and sunshine policies, so that ALL people of California will know what is going on with the California Insurance Department. (CID)
