| Info | I grew up in California. My dad was a house painter, so a lot of my childhood was spent on roofs and ladders with a wet towel or rag around my neck. I learned what it means to work hard for a living - to head home, sunburned and sore, proud that you put in a hard day’s work.
My mom was a community college counselor for students with disabilities for thirty-eight years. She brought home some of the most heroic and difficult stories I’ve heard in my life - students who defied all the odds in dogged pursuit of their American dreams.
I learned from a young age that we all have the potential to be great, and that we all stand to gain from one another’s success. Investing in our community comes back around to all of us. It means more prosperity, less poverty and hardship, and less crime. For example, when a community has a quality education system, those who graduate from that system are more likely to build local businesses. Those businesses in turn provide jobs for us, our neighbors, our family members, and our friends.
Unfortunately, no one’s really investing in our community here in the High Desert and Santa Clarita Valley. At the state level, we are a forgotten district. We’re stuck in the last century and we’re last in line for state resources. Our roads are dilapidated and congested. We don’t have a single trauma center or a single public four-year university. And with each year that passes by, we continue to fall behind.
Our families and children deserve better. I’m running to bring our community’s voice in Sacramento and to bring prosperity and public safety back to our community. We need a leader who will fight for good paying jobs right here in our district, for ensuring everyone has quality healthcare, for making housing more affordable for all, and for rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure.
I will also fight to establish our first public four-year university in the Santa Clarita Valley and High Desert - either a UC or a CSU. This will bring thousands of jobs to our community. It’s long overdue.
More on my background: I’m a small business owner and a Civil Rights/Labor Attorney, representing employees and union members. I have experience standing up for those who have been left behind, holding big utilities and insurance companies accountable for putting profit over people. I also volunteer my time representing asylum seekers. I serve on numerous boards in efforts to promote more access to legal representation for those in need of assistance.
I graduated University of California, Berkeley in 2008 and from Columbia Law School in 2014, where I extensively studied labor rights and employment law. After law school, I served in President Obama’s Department of Justice in the Consumer Protection Branch, and later joined the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office to protect families by prosecuting sexual predators and fraudsters. I currently live in Canyon Country with my dog Baxter.
I hope to meet you. I know that I would be a fantastic State Senator for our community. I hope to earn your support.
