As State Senator, It is my goal to work with all my colleagues in Sacramento to help fix:
Public Safety
When elected to the state senate, I promise to promote laws that Increase Public Safety funding + support the rule of law for ALL the People of Los Angeles. Lawlessness must end and be held accountable. I promise to never forget the Victims of crime.
Homelessness
This Humanitarian Crisis must be handled compassionately, logistically and Immediately. Homelessness has risen to a staggering 70,000 in LA County. Even sadder, over 1,000 in this community tragically die on our streets yearly despite voters allocating $1.2 Billion.
Small Business
Small Businesses are the lifeblood of our city and state, making CA the 5th largest economy in the world. Businesses leaving LA and CA must end now. Businesses taxes need to be cut and the red tape removed to allow business to flourish.
Education
The children are our future but the majority of LA kids in our minority communities test well below the national average, despite increased funding and substantial tax allocation. Alternative school opportunities and reform is needed to help our children succeed.
Family
The family is the nucleus of society. We must remain inclusive to support the well-being of all families in our diverse community, especially those who have children with special needs. Many families require additional help coping with physical and/or emotional challenges.
Veteran Resources
Without Vets there would be no us or U.S. Veteran’s issues are complex, involving: housing, medical attention, psychological care, addiction recovery and jobs. CA Veterans have provided Freedoms we enjoy daily. In return, their needs must Never be ignored.
Infrastructure
Many of L.A.’s sidewalks and streets are in serious disrepair and very dangerous for our children, elders and physically challenged to navigate. Repairs will improve safety, provide needed employment, and beautify our local communities.
Fuel Pricess
Gas excise tax of .52 cents per gallon is the highest in the USA! As gas pricing affects every family and our blue collar workers, I will propose a gas tax holiday for Californians until gas prices drop significantly.
