Tackle the key drivers of costs with a combination of increasing incentives and reducing requirements—sometimes the government needs to help out and other times it needs to get out of the way.

• Housing: Reduce the cost of construction materials (up 40% since 2020) with state-negotiated volume discounts, while giving developers incentives to build more affordable housing, and curbing speculation from private equity firms and foreign cash-based investors.

• Transportation: Freeze gas tax increases, invest in practical public transportation, and bring more jobs to Riverside County to reduce commuting times.

• Insurance: Link home insurance discounts with fire-mitigating investments and reform the state insurance market to increase competition.

• Childcare: Expand early childhood care and after-school care programs, train more caregivers, and reward employer support.

• Healthcare: Reduce drug pricing via state-negotiated volume discounts (prescription spending in CA increased 39% in just five years), streamline credentialing to increase the healthcare worker supply, and partner with regulators to keep pricing fair

My story is the story of access to opportunity. I’m proud of my hard work and accomplishments, and also recognize that I wouldn’t be here without the opportunities I was given to get an education and pursue my dreams.

• Education: Invest in teacher development and continuous training, require curriculum that uses AI to foster critical thinking instead of replacing it, and expand affordable higher education pathways including community colleges and skilled trades.

• Small Business: Streamline permitting, implement tax holidays for local businesses, create hiring incentives, and improve access to capital.

• AI-Resilient Careers: Promote career pathways into good-paying, AI-resilient careers in skilled trades, teaching, caregiving, and more.

• Bring State Funding Home: Collaborate with local stakeholders—city councils, school boards, planning commissions—to get grants and access state programs.

I am running for State Assembly, which means I will be representing you and your family in Sacramento at the state legislature. In order to be an effective representative for you, I am committed to being:

• Accessible and Accountable: You can schedule 1:1 time with me here.

• Data-driven: Prioritize root cause resolution over headline-grabbing statements. Focus on facts and seek input from Independents, Republicans, Democrats, and more. Good ideas are source-agnostic.

• Focused on You: work relentlessly to make your life better.

Even though we won’t always agree, my goal is to serve you and bring people together.  Despite today’s levels of polarization, I deeply believe that there is more that unites us than divides us.

Together we can restore the American Dream.

We need to ensure we’re preserving the uniquely wonderful quality of life so many enjoy in the 71st Assembly District.

Building more affordable housing doesn’t have to mean destroying our remaining wildlands, causing transportation crises, or increasing fire dangers. And we need to ensure we’re preserving our clean water and air while also addressing regulations and energy costs.

Navigating a balance that finds solutions for our very real challenges while also maintaining the quality of life that has inspired so many to make our district their home will be a key focus in Sacramento.

People want to feel safe in their communities—and that means different things to different people.

Building safe communities means protecting human and civil rights, appropriate and effective law enforcement, and being prepared to prevent and respond to natural disasters.

Communities in the 71st Assembly District are at risk of earthquakes, wildfires, floods, and landslides. We need to take effective action to help prevent disasters with thoughtful management, and respond to destructive events to minimize damage and help those affected recover.

There are people in our communities who are afraid their civil rights might be compromised—I will work tirelessly in our state legislature to protect the rights of everyone who lives in the communities I represent.
