Issues
I’m proud to represent and honored to serve the people of California’s 31st Congressional District in the San Gabriel Valley. We are a vibrant and tight-knit community of working families with diverse backgrounds and stories. As your representative, I will always fight for our families, uplift our voices, and bring true representation of the San Gabriel Valley to Washington.
We must build an economy that works for everyone. CA-31 is home to so many small businesses, entrepreneurs, and families from diverse economic backgrounds. I am proud to sit on the House Committee on Small Business and advocate for our small businesses every day.
Education played a critical role in shaping my future. I firmly believe in the value and opportunity that education holds. In Washington, I’m fighting to protect our institutions of education and make our schools more accessible and affordable for working families across America.
Everyone deserves access to affordable, quality healthcare. That’s why I’ve fought in Congress and as Undersecretary of Defense to expand healthcare access for everyday working families.
As a Navy veteran and proud member of the House Armed Services Committee, service to my country has been at the forefront of my life. It’s crucial that we support the servicemembers and veterans who sacrificed so much to protect our freedoms at home and abroad.
Our district is home to a diverse community of immigrant families and cultures that deserve to live without fear of persecution. I have been and will continue to be a vocal advocate for keeping families together and protecting the pathway to citizenship.
As a Member of Congress, I will continue to advocate for effective foreign policy solutions to bolster American security and promote peace and safety worldwide.
All human life is precious, and no civilian—Israeli or Palestinian—should be subject to fear, starvation, and violence. I have continually called for a permanent ceasefire and the continued distribution of food and humanitarian assistance in Gaza. I have advocated for a two-state solution that would give both Israelis and Palestinians a safe and permanent home.
