Hello! I am a lifelong progressive Democrat raising my son in Vallejo. I would be honored to represent you as AD 14 delegate. I have spent my adult life fighting on behalf of justice, good health and equality 
for all hardworking people in Solano and Contra Costa counties. Especially women!
Please check out my video statement (https://bit.ly/3oWKox2) …or read below:
I believe a firm commitment to progressive values and leadership that truly reflects the diversity of our communities is what it will take for our Party to become a more effective, inclusive, and meaningful force for positive change in the lives of our community members.
Throughout the 2000’s, I worked alongside thousands of homecare workers in our region, bargaining union contracts that raised pay above minimum wage and offered caregivers health and dental benefits for the first time. Together we also blocked devastating cuts proposed to the In-Home Supportive Services program, in order to make it possible for low-income elderly and disabled residents to remain independent in their own homes.
During the 2010’s I worked to make reproductive health care accessible and affordable to all as Public Affairs Director at Planned Parenthood Northern California. Today I serve as Executive Director of Close the Gap California, a campaign to bring our State Legislature to at least 50% women by 2028. Our strategy is recruiting progressive women to run, and it’s working: one in four women serving in Sacramento today is a Close the Gap Recruit, and 89% of them are women of color.
The work I have chosen over the years reflects my core values of equal representation and justice for all, and I will put in the time and effort to see those values at the heart of the CA Democratic Party.
It’s a time of great challenge, but also very real hope for a better politics and future. I want California to lead the way on a wide array of progressive aims, from racial and criminal justice, to climate protection, to affordable housing, quality health and mental health care systems, and so much more. But our ability to deliver depends on the values and commitments of those we elect.
I respectfully request your vote. I would be honored to represent my AD 14 neighbors as a Delegate. Now is the time for us to lead the way to a more just and equitable future for all!
