Let's make a change for the better

  Country over party.   That's been my guiding principle since I first entered politics. I wanted to bring common sense values back to Washington, and fight for the issues that really matter. Unfortunately, that's not the direction our political climate is going. Too many people in Washin…

We’re less than two weeks away from our biggest fundraising deadline of 2021. When we lost in 2020, it was by a razor thin margin.  2022 is sure to be just as tight, so it's up to US to make sure we come out on top. In a race like this, our BIGGEST advantage is making sure we’re reaching…

Securing clean drinking water for future generations is extremely important — and drought isn't our only concern. In the last two years, almost a third of Orange County groundwater wells were shut down because of PFAS contamination. We need the EPA to direct funding to keep our drinking …
