Candidate for
United States Representative; District 5

The work of building a stronger Sacramento and a better America is a journey as well as a destination -- and that work is still far from finished.

Just as I worked In the Clinton Administration to make sure California got its share of federal resources, we now need to make sure that Sacramento -- the largest city in America at the greatest risk of catastrophic flooding -- gets the resources we need to take our people out of harm's way. And we need to make sure that as Sacramento continues to grow, our transportation network grows with it.

Bob and I always combined our love of Sacramento with our ability to get things done in Washington -- and I pledge to continue to do the same.

If you give me this honor, I give you this promise. No one will work harder to help strengthen the Sacramento we love, and to build the America we deserve.

I believe I am the most qualified person to continue advancing Sacramento and California's needs in Congress. My experience, combined with my relationships and my strong desire to strengthen Sacramento will guide my abiilty to successfully advocate a legislative agenda to strengthen Sacramento for everyone in the fifth Congressional district.
