wife Jacki, I’ve dedicated my life to public service and have always put my country and my
communities first. I am ready to serve, and I am committed to fighting for the needs of my
constituents. I will always put the people of 31st District first, whether it's pushing for more
resources for the water, transportation, and environmental needs of the San Gabriel Valley,

veterans, and their families receive the benefits they have earned. And I will fight to hold the
incoming administration and this Republican House majority accountable. I look forward to the
work ahead.”
