"The best resource in our district is our people. We have a district so diverse and rich in culture it is important that we have a representative that understands the needs of the people we are elected to represent. So many improvements to our community can be made, not only in one area but Education, Housing, Healthcare and our Environment."
LIST OF ISSUES
Education
Our future is and always has been about those whom will grow up and live in a world we create. The children of our communities need only the best that we can offer. This goes for all aspects of their lives and education is one of those commodities that we are so lucky to have in our country. Growing up in California we had a lot of programs available to teach us about all the good in the world and the things we can accomplish. I want to ensure these programs such as DARE and every 15 minutes continue to educate the youth of our district.
Our district is so diverse that there are over 5 languages that can be spoken in a single block. We understand what is it to not have English as your first language or have parents that immigrated from another country in hopes for a better future. I wish to convey that as a priority and will ensure that all of our youth is supported through legislation passed via our parties endorsements. Kids are our future. Let's start working on it form them, today.
Diversity
When it comes to diversity our district has it all. We are a very unique district represented by small business owners, immigrant families, veterans, LGBTQ+ and life long residents of San Diego County. Our district has to be represented by someone who can identify with these communities and appeal to their needs. Someone who will always keep their interests in mind when voting for policies and positions of the party.
It common for those in places of government to form these tight knit groups. That is completely okay. However when do those groups stop representing the majority? How can we ensure that the votes being made are not for financial gain or by pressure because it what everyone is doing. Let's diversify our party by making sure we represent everyone. I pledge to have an open inbox for anyone whom has a concern. How can I work for you and make sure your needs are taken care of?
Housing
There is no doubt that the best real estate in California is in San Diego County. But what happens when the housing availability becomes scarce? Rising costs of rent in our district have burned in hole in our residents pockets. Affordable housing isn't as affordable as we hoped. Changes need to be made to ensure that our resident's can stay int their homes and not forced to move out of our community.
Homelessness is increasing, as a result of the hardships faced by families in the aftermath of COVID. We must work to keep support programs active and help those families get back on their feet and in their homes.
Healthcare
Health is the most precious asset one owns. Without out health everything else in the world doesn't matter. We must take care of each other in our community and around the state. Health care is available, but how can we make it more accessible and affordable to all residents.
Our country is still in the process of recovering from a global pandemic that has rocked us at our core. We overcame those bumps in the road and now it is time to get all of our people covered. Starting with the rising cost of prescription medications. We must pass legislation preventing big pharma from hiking the costs of life saving drugs because of a patent. Lets keep our senior citizens and youth in affordable health care plans that benefit us to the fullest extent.
Environment
Our district has some of the most diverse landscapes in the county. One area you may be in the city and the next in rural areas of the Otay Mesa. Our environment and the water we drink are precious commodities to not be taken for granted. We must do our part to invest in renewable energy and clean air vehicle programs. Make solar power more available to our residents at lower costs and offer incentives for clean air vehicles especially in homes struggling to pay for transportation.
