“I’ve spent my career working in this community and hearing directly from the people who live here. What I hear is pretty simple. Folks want to feel safe, be able to afford their lives, and know someone is actually looking out for them. That is what I am focused on every day."

“I've lived in this district my entire life. I know what challenges our community members face -- healthcare access, the rising cost of living, and the need for good-paying jobs. As a social worker and local small business owner, I've heard from so many of you that these issues aren't being addressed in Washington by our current Congressman. After all, he's worth almost $100 million. How can he understand what it's like to struggle? I will fight to be your voice in Washington, where I will make sure we have the healthcare access and good jobs that we need, and to fight the affordability crisis."

“For years, I’ve worked locally to bring people together and solve problems for our mountain and High Desert communities. I’m running for Assembly to make life more affordable, protect our civil rights, and ensure our region finally has a strong voice in Sacramento. Everyone here deserves dignity, opportunity, and the freedom to build a stable future."

​“I came to this country from Mexico with nothing but a willingness to work hard and a belief that opportunity should be available to everyone. That belief is what drives me every single day to fight for working families who are getting squeezed, to bring down the cost of housing, and to make sure every family can access quality healthcare without worrying about the bill. The High Desert Progressive Democrats share that same vision for our community, and I'm proud to have their support. Together, we're going to keep fighting for the people who need it most."
