WHY I'M RUNNING

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,
