Candidate for
State Senator; District 33

As your senator, I will follow the same principles that made me an effective leader in education. I will work hard to make sure the people who need the most help get it. I will never waste time and resources with murky issues that advance the interests of the few over that of the average citizen.

I will be an empathetic leader dedicated to improving the quality of education, expanding healthcare to include more of California's children, and maintaining our parks, oceans, and natural resources. I am for fiscal responsibility but not at the cost of cutting programs necessary for the health and well-being of all Californians.

I will legislate on behalf of those among us who want our schools to remain well-equipped and adequately staffed, who want the air we breath and water we drink protected and maintained, who want our state's public parks and beaches to remain open, who agree that healthcare isn't a privilege for a few but the right of all. In short, I represent Californians who think about the possibilities our state offers rather than its limitations.
