Issue Position

My office is committed to fighting for the priorities of the California's 33rd Congressional District:

Jobs & Economic Recovery-- Clearly, this is the most important priority for our nation. We must spur economic development by investing in infrastructure and industry within the United States as well as cutting taxes cuts for the poor and middle class
Civil Rights-- Expand equal rights and opportunity to all communities, especially those who have been historically underserved and underrepresented
Defense-- Responsibly disengage from unnecessary wars to help balance our budget and bring home our troops
Education-- Expand access to quality education for all. Address achievement gaps by ensuring excellent resources for all of our schools from Culver City to Los Angeles
Environment-- Protect clean air, water, and land. Expand park access and resources, specially for parks and waterways in the 33rd Congressional District, including the Ballona Creek, the Kenneth Hahn Park, and the LA River
Foreign Affairs-- Strategic approach that employs diplomacy and invests in development
Health Care-- Protect gains made through the Affordable Care Act and expand access to health care for all
Immigration-- Support comprehensive immigration reform, protecting the rights of all residents, and supporting access to education and health, especially for youth
Human Services-- Improve the foster care system and protect the social safety net
Senior Issues-- Protect and preserve Social Security and Medicare
Transportation-- Advocate for the American Fast Forward and 30/10 plan to transform transportation infrastructure in Los Angeles with 30 projects in the next ten years
Small Business-- Expand access to capital and procurement opportunities
