Get StartedI will fight to strengthen protections and funding for artists, musicians, engineers, and other creators whose work has been taken without consent, and ensure innovation benefits working people, not just corporate shareholders. Learn more
We also want to be clear that strong communities depend on strong public safety and emergency response systems. Police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and first responders play essential roles in protecting the public and must be supported with resources, training, and clear accountability. The same is true for immigration enforcement: our country needs systems that uphold the rule of law while ensuring due process and constitutional rights. Learn more
We will work to cap the cost of attending colleges and universities so all families can afford to send their kids to school, because education is a right, not a privilege. Learn more
Childcare has become the second mortgage no family can afford. In San Diego, childcare can cost families thousands of dollars a month. As Congressman, I will work with industry experts to identify gaps in our childcare system and redirect federal funds to ensure every family has access to high-quality, affordable childcare.

As Congressman I will fight to allocate federal funds to state and local programs to support efforts to clean up our beaches, coastlines, and neighborhoods. As stewards for the next generation, we must prioritize our environment and ensure our children have access to clean air, clean water, and a clean ocean to enjoy. Learn more
We will reduce the influence of large private corporations over health insurance and expand federal investment in comprehensive healthcare programs that serve all constituents. In the near term, we will work to lower costs, improve care, and protect families from predatory practices in healthcare, childcare, and senior care. Our long-term goal is simple and bold: guarantee universal healthcare so every American can access care without financial barriers. Learn more
I will also fight to ban hedge funds from buying homes. We must stop large investment firms from buying up our neighborhoods and pricing families out of their communities. Learn more
Excessive regulations are stifling the housing market and slowing the development of affordable housing. As Congressman, I will eliminate unnecessary roadblocks and outdated rules that stand in the way of a healthy, affordable market. Learn more
I will also work to protect communities from developers who exploit loopholes to push through projects opposed by local residents, often without the affordable housing needed to keep young families and longtime neighbors in San Diego. Learn more
Now, the masked ICE agents operating in our streets have killed two United States citizens in Minneapolis in separate fatal shootings. This comes after at least 32 individuals died while held in ICE custody during 2025. Any response other than abolishing ICE and prosecuting every agent and agency official who has broken the law is unacceptable. Learn more
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has left a permanent stain on our nation’s legacy through repeated abuses of power. Over the past year, ICE agents have detained U.S. Citizens, spread fear in immigrant communities and violated basic constitutional protections by entering homes without a warrant. Learn more
As Congressman, I will introduce legislation to establish a Data Privacy Bill of Rights. Under this plan, you will have the right to know what data is collected about you, access your information in a portable format, correct inaccurate records, and delete your data when you choose. You will also have the right to object to automated decisions that affect your life. Learn more
Every dollar wasted by the government is a dollar not used to help people in need. As Congressman, I will launch a federal investigative committee to hold agencies accountable for mismanaged funds meant to address homelessness. Learn more
As Congressman, I will support raising taxes on housing development companies managing 20 million or more in assets that do not commit to building affordable units. Learn more
I will fight to modernize this policy by increasing the capital gains tax exclusion to 1.5 million for single homeowners and 2.5 million for married couples. This change will allow more homeowners, especially seniors who want to downsize, to sell their homes without being punished by an antiquated tax code. Learn more
As Congressman, I will fight to pass a renter tax relief bill that provides a refundable 2,400 tax credit for renters who pay rent on a primary residence. Homeowners already receive meaningful tax relief through the mortgage interest deduction. Providing similar relief to renters strengthens household stability, supports local economies, and creates a more balanced and equitable tax code. Working families need immediate relief to afford essentials like food, childcare, and transportation, while staying rooted in the communities they love. Learn more
