patients over profit

Year after year, skyrocketing healthcare costs are hitting Orange County families harder and harder. In my two decades as a consumer protection attorney, I’ve seen what happens when we allow large corporations to take advantage of working families. Protecting California patients has been one …

it's go time

This week, the strength of our campaign will be tested by our first fundraising deadline of the year. 2020 will be a pivotal year, and it's going to take all of us working together to keep Orange County blue. Make no mistake, our opponents are flooding this race with funds from dark money g…

I will fight tooth and nail

On the heels of the 47th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we find ourselves still entrenched in the fight for women's healthcare. The fact remains that women cannot have social and economic equality without bodily autonomy. No matter who it is, every woman should have the right to make healthcare …

This week marks the 47th anniversary of Roe v. Wade -- and a woman's right to choose is still on the line. This administration is doing it's best to pack the courts with anti-choice judges in an attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade -- and it's up to us to fight back >>> We will never ach…

Our health is too important to wait on

PFAS, or poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, are global pollutants that threaten the health of people and wildlife. That's because PFAS do not break down in our environment. Instead, these mobile substances move from our soil into our drinking water. The House recently passed the bipartisan …

PFAS are harming our communities

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are dangerous chemicals that can be found in everyday consumer products. They have been linked to cancer, infertility, impaired child development, and have gone completely unregulated.  To protect public health House Democrats have passed the PFAS Act…

This is an outrage

While many were busy celebrating the holidays, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement quietly filed to reopen the previously closed deportation cases of DACA recipients nationwide.  This is an outrage.  DREAMers are our neighbors, our colleagues, students, and family members. They trusted our gov…

Protect DREAMers

DREAMers have spent their entire lives hiding in the shadows while working and contributing to our economy and communities.  However, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E) is now filing to reopen deportation cases that have been closed for years.     This isn't right, DREAMers are Ame…

Reducing the influence of special interest groups brought on by Citizens United is one of my top priorities in Congress.  When special interests and big corporations are able to drown out the voices and votes of everyone else, our families and communities suffer.  We deserve a democracy that …

This year, we are recommitting ourselves to overturning Citizens United to save and restore our democracy for the people. Since the disastrous Supreme Court decision, Citizens United has left our government vulnerable to the influence of special interest groups. Money is not speech and corp…
