biography
As a counselor for underserved youth, I’ve seen how the lives of our kids and their families can be transformed. As a two-term Richmond, CA, City Council member, I’ve seen how neighbors can organize a city from hopelessness, violence, and systemic corruption to a much better future. Now I am running for the California State Assembly to help transform our state.

priorities
health care
I believe that health care is a right, and not a privilege just for those who can afford it. 59 percent of Americans agree with me.
expanded & fair housing
Everyone deserves shelter. We must urgently pursue expanding housing opportunities for all people, keeping in mind transportation needs and community preservation.
economy
We can diversify our economy, create living wage jobs, improve services and fairly share the burdens of government through innovations in land ownership, workers' conditions, banking, regulation, and taxes. Labor unions are key in the fight for greater economic and social power for the 99%.
criminal justice
California is making good strides toward criminal justice reform that need to be continued and expanded. Our police need help to become positive and accepted parts of our communities, with their actions and procedures more transparent and accountable. Sentencing flexibility needs to be returned to judges and made equitable across all those who come before the courts.
environment
I pledge to help preserve and improve the environment for present and future generations. Protecting the environment and limiting climate change must go hand-in-hand with environmental justice.
