I’m running for Congress to represent California’s 30th District and bring a new generation of leadership to our nation’s capital.

I first ran for office to make an impact in my community by improving our schools so that all kids have a fair shot at success. As I begin my sixth year on the School Board, I'm proud of all that we've accomplished, including a record-setting graduation rate this past year. But, I have also seen firsthand how challenges outside of the classroom are holding kids and their families back. 

My former students are now young adults in a world where it’s harder to get a good-paying job, find an affordable place to live, and feel optimistic about our politics. It was advocating for kids like them that sent me from the classroom to the courtroom to the school board room where I have been a leader on not just education, but on climate change, infrastructure, food insecurity, gun violence prevention and more. But, it is clear there is more work to be done to ensure safe communities, good-paying jobs, and quality healthcare for everyone.

We need a new generation of leadership to bring a solutions-oriented approach to our politics: not who is right, but what is right. That's always been my approach. As a teacher, civil rights attorney, nonprofit director, and school board member, I've worked across lines of difference to get things done for the most vulnerable among us. And I'm ready to continue this work in Congress as a strong voice on the issues that matter most to our families and communities.

Congressman Schiff has illustrated the kind of leadership that our communities deserve while representing this district. Now that he is running for Senate, I am ready to continue his fight in the House to protect reproductive freedom, take on the fossil fuel industry to fight climate change, and bring home the resources California needs to take on the crisis of homelessness. I'll work hard to protect and continue the progress that he has made.

Together, we can get there, but only with your support.

Thank you -- and onward,
