Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death 18- to 45-year-olds in the United States. It is a growing epidemic with this and other drugs pouring over our borders daily. While our young die at increasing rates, the Sacramento politicians deflect and defer real actions to stem the deadly tide. A public declaration of ''A War On Fentanyl'' is the first step–we need bold, comprehensive action now, not later. Holding drug dealers accountable for distribution, with the highest penalties reserved for those that result in death, in addition to greater public resources and education on this poison is necessary today. Like many other families that are devastated by the loss of a loved one, I have lost family members to this deadly drug. I will prioritize my efforts in Sacramento to address this epidemic before it is too late. Learn more
Our region suffers from drought and wildfires that are worsening every year. As a leader in resource conservation and as a former elected Director of the Olivenhain Municipal Water District, I am focused on innovation that combats climate change and protects our Earth for the next generation. I governed the Elfin Forest Reserve within my district in which I protected the waterways that were vital to the surrounding environment. I will continue to advocate for policies that prioritize diversified renewable energy, investment in sustainable infrastructure, long-term water capture and storage capacity, and conservation to lead California’s transition towards a sustainable and more resilient future. I regularly participate in I Love a Clean San Diego annual community clean up day. Learn more
