Rohnert Park Councilmember. Labor rooted. 🇨🇩🇺🇸
SEIU California has endorsed our campaign for AD 12. Their 750,000 members include the workers who keep Marin and Sonoma running.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, I’m holding the lives lost to anti-trans violence and the communities mourning them. We honor them by telling the truth, standing up to hate, and fighting for a world where every trans person can live safely and openly.

Last night I joined the community in Petaluma for the Chinatown Park plaque unveiling. Standing with elders, community leaders, and young people who are committed to keeping this history alive was powerful.

Tonight I joined the North Bay Labor Council’s COPE Awards dinner with my union brothers and sisters. Congratulations to Frank Reardon, Mike McGuire, Chris Snyder, Michael Pickens, and Patty Garbarino. Their leadership shows the strength of our labor movement. Solidarity forever.

Honoring all who’ve served our country. Your courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Visiting Pearl Harbor today was a powerful reminder of the cost of war and the strength of those who serve.

This morning I joined my Teamster family in Hawaii at Kapiolani Medical Center, where hospital workers are on strike for a fair contract. As a proud Teamster wife and union member, I wanted to show my support for their fight for respect, safety, and quality care.

Voters across the country reminded us what hope looks like. Yes on Prop 50. No on the Fairfax recall. Democrats elected in NJ & VA. Zohran Mamdani’s win shows a new generation of people-powered leaders is rising—and in AD 12, we’re ready for the next chapter.

Last night’s Day of the Dead parade in Point Reyes was a beautiful community event, with people of all ages marching, singing, and carrying images of loved ones. It ended at the Dance Palace, where a stunning ofrenda invited everyone to pause and reflect.

Thank you to Girasol Collective and all the partners who made Almas Vivas in Cotati such a powerful celebration of life, love, and culture. Honoring our ancestors together keeps our communities connected.

I was honored to march in Petaluma’s 25th annual Día de los Muertos procession last night. The music and dance were incredible, and a two-year-old dancer stole everyone’s heart. A beautiful night of culture, remembrance, and community.

Joined the Día de los Muertos procession in Novato this afternoon to honor loved ones. Grateful to everyone who made it such a beautiful event. We’ll be at more celebrations across the North Bay this weekend.

Honored to be endorsed by the California Faculty Association, representing 29,000 professors, counselors, librarians, and coaches across the CSU system. Together, we’re fighting for quality public education and fair treatment for the people who make it possible.

I was in Fairfax tonight with Senator Mike McGuire, Assemblymember Damon Connolly, and community members talking with voters about voting No on the recalls targeting Mayor Lisel Blash and Vice Mayor Stephanie Hellman. Fairfax deserves fairness and stability, not division.

This evening I joined residents at Youngstown Mobile Park in Petaluma to stand with seniors who own their homes but rent the land beneath them and are facing 200% rent hikes. It’s unacceptable. Everyone deserves stability and respect.

What a wonderful evening at Congressman Mike Thompson's Sonoma Harvest Dinner at Paradise Ridge Winery. It was a treat to catch up with Congressman Thompson and State Senator Mike McGuire, both of whom continue to be strong voices for the North Bay.

Joined families and neighbors at Santa Rosa’s South Park Day & Night Festival, celebrating Vince Harper’s legacy of community and connection.

Huge news! The California Teachers Association has endorsed our campaign for State Assembly. As an educator, I’m honored to have the support of over 310,000 teachers and school staff. I’ll keep fighting for great public schools and affordable housing for educators.

LumaFest 2025 at SRJC Petaluma was such a great day. Loved seeing students and families come together to celebrate Día de los Muertos and community.

Petaluma was my second No Kings rally today. Proud to stand with so many people in the streets standing up for democracy and reminding everyone that power belongs to the people.

Had the privilege of speaking at the No Kings rally in San Rafael this morning. Real power doesn’t come from thrones, it comes from the people.
