This information is provided by the candidate
As a member of the Assembly, Melissa will fight for seniors, retirees, their families and their communities.
As the daughter of seniors, and the granddaughter of a wonderful woman who had Alzheimer's, Melissa knows the special needs + and special gifts + of our senior citizens.

The population of Californians over the age of 60, which was 4.74 million in 2000, is expected to nearly double by 2020.

These senior members of our state and community are among our greatest treasures. They are also one of our greatest responsibilities. For Melissa, respecting and serving our seniors is more than a matter of policy; it is a moral issue. Our character as a community is defined in large part by how we treat those who have served and protected us.

As a member of the Assembly, Melissa will fight for seniors, retirees, their families and their communities.

Melissa believes that seniors deserve peace of mind about their health care and their homes. She will fight to ensure that seniors obtain the health care they need, are free from abuse and exploitation, and can maintain their independence.

She strongly opposes cuts to home health care. Melissa will fight to ensure that our seniors are not forced from their homes.
