Get StartedI am enormously proud of what we were able to accomplish in my first year in Sacramento. I authored AB 1485, which will create new affordable housing for middle-class Californians who are too often left out of the discussion. This bill, which is now law in our state, allows more working Californians, like teachers, firefighters, and nurses, to live in the communities they serve. Learn more
I also passed AB 1851 in partnership with the faith community, which allows new affordable housing to be built on the parking lots of faith-based institutions, like churches. Allowing faith-based institutions to be part of the solution to the housing crisis is exactly the kind of creative solution we need to help reverse its course. Learn more
I am dedicated to keeping up the fight for increased paid family leave, guaranteed paid sick days, and guaranteed affordable childcare for every California family, among others. These are all issues that impact working families, especially working women — and I won’t stop fighting until every family can access these crucial protections and resources.I’ve also fought for working families in Sacramento by expanding access to CalFresh — which is crucial especially in Assembly District 15, where we’re seeing disturbingly widespread hunger, especially in the wake of COVID-19. In 2019, I passed AB 1377, which expanded access to CalFresh and its key nutrition programs for the over 500,000 California kids who were eligible for the program, but hadn’t yet enrolled. In 2020, I passed another CalFresh bill: AB 3073, which would ensure Californians leaving the criminal justice system would have access to the program, putting folks on a path to health and stability as they reenter society.
