The climate crisis is here, and unless we take action at national and global level, it will only get worse. Underserved communities and people of color are disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change. I support the Green New Deal to introduce green technology, cut carbon emissions, keep contaminants out of our water and soil, and address social inequities caused by climate change. I’m committed to working to protect our planet for the next generation.

I’m proud to represent many active duty servicemembers and veterans in our district. Since my election to Congress in 2012, I have supported legislation to protect those who protect our country. And I am a strong advocate for our deported veterans who risked their lives for our country and deserve a pathway to citizenship. All U.S. military veterans, regardless of immigration status, answered the call to serve our country. I will always honor their sacrifice.

Our district is home to several industries that I am proud to support. In Congress, I have worked with colleagues to pass legislation that creates good-paying jobs in our community and communities across the nation. I am a steadfast champion of ensuring equity is at the forefront of job creation in our district, particularly with the recently passed Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Our workers deserve fair wages, safe work environments, and good benefits.

I am a supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community and believe no one should face discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. We must ensure that anti-discrimination legislation protects LGBTQIA+ community members so they can buy homes, foster children, serve our country, get jobs, and more.
