Get StartedI would work to immediately repeal the broad consumer tariffs on groceries, household goods, clothing, and everyday essentials that are functioning as a regressive tax — falling hardest on working families who spend the highest share of their income on necessities. Reserve targeted trade tools for genuine national security and strategic economic purposes, not inflationary political theater. Learn more
Data centers must meet strict water usage and renewable energy standards before receiving operating permits. Facilities that exceed consumption thresholds face operational restrictions. Federal AI infrastructure investment must be conditioned on carbon-neutral roadmaps and community water impact assessments. AI’s environmental footprint must be treated with the same urgency as industrial pollution. No AI related energy infrastructure and usage cost should be passed on to residential customers. Learn more
Upgrade hard infrastructure (levees, drainage, energy and water systems, building standards) to withstand extreme events—including wildfire smoke episodes and heat waves—that research shows will intensify without adaptation. Learn more
Implement nature‑based solutions (wetlands restoration, urban tree canopy, green stormwater infrastructure) to address sea‑level rise, flooding, heat, and air quality. California’s state climate targets highlight these approaches as cost‑effective resilience tools for coastal and Bay Area communities. Learn more
Recognize the State of Palestine and support full UN membership consistent with a two-state framework guaranteeing security and sovereignty for both peoples. Learn more
About Gaza, moral clarity is required: What is happening in Gaza is a genocide. I will say it. Learn more
Support an immediate, permanent ceasefire and return of all hostages through diplomacy — not continued bombardment that has failed to free them. Learn more
Oppose any U.S. Military strike on Iran not explicitly authorized by Congress. War powers belong to the legislature — not any president. Learn more
Condition all U.S. Military aid to Israel on full compliance with international humanitarian law and unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza. Learn more
Enact a phased transition period (modeled on the bill’s 4-year rollout): Year 1 covers children under 18, adults 55, and current Medicare enrollees; others access buy-in options; full universal coverage activates in Year. Learn more
Pass the Medicare for All Act of 2025 (H.R. 3069 / S. 1506), introduced by Rep. Jayapal and Sen. Sanders, to establish a true single-payer national health insurance program administered by HHS, eliminating private insurance for core benefits and ensuring zero uninsured from day one of full implementation. Learn more
Create a permanent, dedicated source of money for building and preserving homes that local families can actually afford. This can be achieved through local or state bonds and working with private partners. Learn more
Expand financial assistance and create a refundable tax credit for renters. This helps working families make ends meet and ensures more of their paycheck goes toward food and necessities, not just rent. Learn more
Cut through red tape to build homes faster. We can do this by using new state laws to allow more types of housing in existing neighborhoods (like duplexes and lot splits) and using common-sense exemptions for building within cities, not on open land. Learn more
Masked agents grabbing people off our streets and out of their homes without clear identification or visible warrants is not “law and order” — it is an assault on the rule of law and on the basic American promise that government power must be accountable, transparent, and restrained. Learn more
CA‑15 deserves leaders who will say: no more secret‑police tactics, no more politics of fear — it is time to defend due process, protect our immigrant neighbors, and build a fair, orderly, and humane immigration system that keeps every family in our district safer, stronger, and free to dream. Learn more
We need integrated plans that coordinate zoning and parking reform with better sidewalks and bike lanes, ensuring safe first/last-mile connections for every commute. We can learn from Japan’s inclusive zoning, Dutch design standards for bike lanes, and Vienna’s model for workforce housing to create complete neighborhoods in CA-15. Learn more
By concentrating housing and jobs near Caltrain stations and El Camino Real, we allow residents to live car-light or car-free, directly attacking the root cause of congestion Following the example of the “Rail Property” mandate of Hong Kong Model which creates integrated communities above stations, making MTR one of the world’s few profitable transit system, we can empower Caltrain to form Joint Ventures develop land at stations like Millbrae, San Mateo, and Redwood City for high-density station towers in CA-15. Learn more
Legislation must establish protected employment zones: roles where AI may assist but never supplant. These include direct patient care, early childhood education, social work, mental health services, emergency response, and roles requiring fiduciary and discretionary human judgment. Any employer operating in these protected sectors who deploys AI to eliminate headcount faces mandatory review, financial penalties, and worker reinstatement requirements. Learn more
I would introduce legislation requiring price transparency from major retailers and food suppliers when tariff costs are passed to consumers, and expand SNAP benefits and food bank federal funding to meet the surge in demand triggered by tariff-driven food inflation across CA-15 communities. Learn more
I present a revolutionary yet simple proposal called the ‘One Percent Bill.’ This initiative aims to create broader prosperity across all companies—both private and public—while eliminating ridiculously high, board-manipulated CEO compensation. This bill states that in no company in America shall an entry-level worker’s total compensation be less than 1% of the total compensation of that company’s CEO. Learn more
It is about time we discuss a proven solution used across a number of states: the Property Tax Circuit Breaker. The concept is as simple as the safety device in your electrical panel. When the “load” on a household’s budget becomes too heavy, the circuit breaker trips and provides relief by refunding or crediting back the portion of property tax that exceeds a set percentage of income. Unlike across-the-board rate cuts that mostly benefit higher-value owners, a circuit breaker is a targeted credit that links tax liability directly to the ability to pay. Learn more
Companies that eliminate positions due to AI automation must contribute to a federally mandated Worker Transition Fund, proportional to the number of displaced workers. This is not punitive — it is accountability. The profits generated by automation must partially fund the social cost of that automation. Revenue from this fund directly finances retraining programs, community AI labs, and transition grants for displaced workers. Learn more
Repealing Prop 19 would restore the full parent-child and grandparent-grandchild exclusions under prior laws like Props 58 and 193, enabling families to pass down homes, farms, and investment properties without triggering massive tax hikes. Learn more
