Why I'm Running
I am running for Congress because Inland Empire families deserve a leader who is committed to delivering meaningful results, not empty promises.
I understand the challenges faced by families across San Bernardino County, particularly as the costs of raising a family continue to rise from food and housing to healthcare. It is clear that our communities are often overlooked, and I am determined to change that.
My focus will be on the critical issues that directly impact our community. This includes addressing the housing affordability crisis, tackling the mental health and homelessness epidemic, reducing everyday costs for working families, such as groceries and prescription drugs, protecting women's rights, advocating for immigration reform bill that would provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants while bringing families together rather than tearing them apart.
Together, we can work towards a future where everyone has the support and resources they need to thrive.
I'm Not a Man of Words, but a Man of Action. I'm also not a politician. I'm a community leader who shows up.
