Our region deserves a State Senator with a track record of getting things done to improve residents’ lives. As a three-term mayor of the City of Encinitas, former city councilmember, and current chair of a powerful transportation agency, I have supported small businesses, delivered more affordable housing, and created a cleaner environment.

My record of results:

• Secured emergency grants to keep small businesses open during the pandemic
• Banned ghost guns and required safe storage of firearms
• Provided 100% renewable power ­­­for homes, businesses, and government buildings 
• Added affordable housing and spearheaded a safe parking program for residents who lost their homes and temporarily needed to sleep in their vehicle

As your State Senator, I will work to:

• Implement solutions to the homelessness crisis, including mental health and addiction treatment
• Make housing more affordable and available
• Create good-paying jobs and reduce inflationary pressures on California’s economy 
• Take bold climate action to protect future generations
• Ensure our communities and neighborhoods are safe from gun violence

I have the experience and energy we need in Sacramento and that’s why I’m asking for your support today!

I would be honored to serve you in elected office and I ask for your vote this November.

With gratitude,
