| Collapse all
As elected leaders, our first priority is to our residents and the local businesses that provide our economic backbone. There will always be competing pressures for resources and priorities, but I believe—and my record demonstrates—that through respect, listening, understanding, experience, and courage, we can provide for our residents, protect our planet, and continue to build community resilience.
I will continue to prioritize affordability, sustainability, and equity, focus on solutions that matter in day-to-day life, and fight for North Bay residents and communities in Sacramento.- Affordability & Cost of Living:
Whether it’s housing, energy, food costs, childcare, health care, or basic services, our families are facing an affordability crisis (which is disproportionately impacting children and families, older adults, and our immigrant and LGBTQ+ communities. I will continue to prioritize cost impacts for residents over political expedience. Local Economy & Opportunity:
As a small business owner, I understand local challenges firsthand, and I know the importance of local businesses for our local economy. 99% California businesses in are small businesses, and are critical in supporting our local economy, providing jobs, and shaping our unique cultures and communities. - Resilience & Climate Change: I have prioritized tangible resiliency projects and programs to protect residents and infrastructure from fires, floods, sea level rise, and drought—all of which are immediate and critical issues for our district.
- Defending Democracy Whether it’s protecting our people, or the constitution itself, this is the time to take a stand. I will continue to ensure that every resident in every neighborhood feels safe and the rule of law applies equitably for everyone.
