Political Beliefs
Political Philosophy
When you first voted for me to represent you in the State Assembly, I promised to help create better jobs, protect immigrant families, and work towards opportunity for all our communities.
With your support, we’re making real progress.
We raised the minimum wage and passed laws to make sure every worker earns paid sick leave and overtime pay. We’ve strengthened social security and Medicare.
We have fought back against the Trump agenda, and passed laws to ensure immigrants can report crimes and interact with police without fear of being deported.
And, we have registered more citizens to vote than ever before in California.
We’ve done a lot. But there is so much more to do. I hope I will have your vote to continue the progress we are making.

My Top 3 Priorities
Reduce fees, taxes and regulations on small businesses so that business owners want to expand their businesses, which will create more jobs.
Eliminate sanctuary cities and remove the sanctuary state status. This will make for better neighborhoods because of less crime, less imported diseases and higher wages for American citizens.
Man made climate change is a hoax. Stop wasting taxpayer money on climate changes that have been occurring for millions of years and have little or nothing to do with man's activities.
