Get StartedCalifornia must target immediate assistance to support jobs as an investment in the quality of life of our region. A work force that makes a living wage and has the economic security of affordable healthcare, education, and housing will re-invest their earnings into the businesses in our neighborhood. We must help small businesses compete with large corporations, ensure workers are paid fairly and are treated with respect, and that working families have a voice in the economic process that will allow them to provide for their families and attain the California Dream.

I will fight for more funding for our public schools, increase access to Pre-K to give students the foundation they need for a strong start, and work to ensure more money is going directly into classrooms to prepare students for the modern economy. Higher education should not saddle hard working families with debt. I will work to make California’s community college system tuition-free. Job training programs, science and technology education, and four-year degree programs should also be expanded to keep up with the needs of our work force. Learn more
We must fight to clean up the sewage in the Tijuana River that is making residents sick and destroying our coast around Imperial Beach and Coronado. Our coastline is the jewel of Southern California and it must be safe and beautiful for residents and visitors alike. Learn more
Everyone knows someone with cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, or asthma. Anyone can get hit by a car or break a bone. The fact is that any leader who takes public safety or economic security seriously must be a champion for healthcare access. I will work to ensure that California’s healthcare system is reformed so that every Californian has access to high quality, affordable, and reliable healthcare to take care of themselves and those they love most, and that we work toward a system of healthcare for all.

California’s housing crisis can only be solved with one thing: housing. I will work to secure funding from Sacramento to scale up affordable housing projects, cut red tape to build more middle-income homes, work to fund local projects for mixed-use buildings and smart growth, and simultaneously work to ensure that quality of life in our neighborhoods is maintained while housing supply increases.

Taking best practices from San Diego to Sacramento, I will fight for a permanent stream of homelessness funding, comprehensive statewide planning, and updated care and wrap around services so that the most vulnerable Californians have a path out of poverty. Learn more
