With my experience as a small businessowner, Councilwoman, and Mayor, I know how to bring together best practices from both the public and private sectors.

California has a record budget surplus. As your Senator, I’ll fight to:

• Empower and fund local governments to combat homelessness

• Lower the gas tax and the sales tax to decrease the cost of living

• Overturn the laws that enable smash-and-grab robberies

• Ensure teachers, firefighters, police officers, and Sheriff’s deputies have the resources they need to do their jobs

• Fully funding our public schools while still providing charter schools

• Deliver State funding to improve traffic on the 5, 22, 55, 57, and 91 freeways
