Too many families know the fear of a breast cancer diagnosis — and the even deeper fear of losing access to lifesaving care. No one should ever have to fight cancer and fight to keep their healthcare. We need leaders who will protect and defend the care Americans rely on.

Proud to have the endorsement of former U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer! She’s spent her career fighting for Californians and taking on powerful special interests. Now we’re taking on Darrell Issa and flipping #CA48 blue.

Our service members stationed abroad should not have to rely on food banks because Republicans in Congress refuse to fully fund the government. Yet another example of Donald Trump and Darrell Issa humiliating our country on the international stage.

With the overwhelming passage of Prop 50, California voters sent Washington a message: Donald Trump and Texas Republicans will not drown out our voices.
But the work isn't done! Prop 50 doesn't guarantee anyone gets elected. Now we're kicking into high gear to flip #CA48!

Hark! What dread from yonder chamber creeps?
’Tis Congress, haunting dreams of sleep!
For thirty-one long nights, still no reprieve —
The House stands empty; Republicans leave.
Beware, all souls, of tricks most grim:
When duty fades, the lights grow dim.
Have a spooky & fully funded Halloween! 👻🎃

This is the most important election ever for LGBTQ+ Americans.
The SCOTUS may soon allow conversion therapy — even in states that banned it.
And the GOP nominee for Virginia governor says firing someone for being gay “isn’t discrimination.”
We can’t let this stand. Vote. Organize. Fight back. 🌈

Darrell Issa and House Republicans keeps cheerleading Trump’s reckless tariffs — but San Diego families are the ones who are paying the price.
I’ll fight for lower prices *and* American jobs, and I’ll put a stop to these disastrous tariffs blowing up your grocery bill.

As this shutdown drags into a 4th weekend, Donald Trump and Darrell Issa continue to play politics while. families suffer.
At City Hall, I balanced budgets and kept services running. No chaos, no shutdowns.
In Congress, I’ll do the same: put people first.

As the only Democrat in this race who’s flipped a seat red to blue, I know what it will take to beat Darrell Issa, and this latest poll shows that we have the strongest campaign to do it. I will keep working hard so come November, we finally flip #CA48 and take back the People’s House.

The National Guard’s mission should be to keep Americans safe, not to score political points.
Sending California troops into Oregon is a dangerous escalation that distracts from the real work of building trust between communities and law enforcement.
It's divisive and wrong.

It’s bad enough that Darrell Issa voted *against* expelling George Santos. Now Donald Trump has sprung him for prison for his many financial crimes.
The message is clear — if you’re Trump, following the law is a suggestion. If you oppose his regime, you’re sent to El Salvador.

The United States is a constitutional republic, with three co-equal branches of government. But House Republicans and Darrell Issa have abdicated their duty and let Donald Trump act like a monarch.

One accomplishment I'm most proud of as a city councilmember is passing California's first ghost gun ban. The gun lobby took us to court, but we won.
