Irvine mom & consumer protection attorney. Former Orange County Congresswoman. Running to be California's next governor.
Workers are paying more for health insurance than ever before, but can't even get appointments. Deductibles are often hard to reach, and Donald Trump is letting premiums double for millions.

We need to lower health care costs so that every Californian has the coverage and care they need.

Housing costs a lot in California—and that’s made our homelessness crisis one of the worst in the nation.

As we work to bring down costs, investing in interim housing like Cherry Hill—and the ongoing services residents need—is critical to solving unsheltered homelessness.

For too long, our country has expected care to happen for free or for pennies on the dollar. That is morally wrong and economically stupid.

Investing in care is a strategic move to grow our population and economy. It’s time we change how we value our care providers.

Let's talk taxes. California’s budget instability is like a rollercoaster, and it's driven by worsening wealth inequality.

We can afford to make the investments we need in our state—we just have to bring down costs, make smart budget decisions, and grow our economy.

California doesn’t need talking points on affordability from a billionaire. We need leaders who actually understand the cost crisis our families are facing.

Fighting inequality makes our economy stronger. When I’m Governor, my focus will be on bringing down costs and growing our state.

When I asked Chase CEO Jamie Dimon how a minimum wage worker could make ends meet, he said “I don’t know.”

When I led California’s response to the foreclosure crisis, homes weren’t saved just because a settlement agreement existed. It was the tireless work from my team on the ground.

We always find money for "hard infrastructure"—bridges and roads—and those matter. But so does CARE.

It's time to stop letting child care and elder care be the first thing cut. Investing in care is investing in a growing CA economy.

When I first ran for Congress and made housing part of my campaign, people told me: "Housing isn’t the government's problem."

Bullshit. High costs and homelessness aren't inevitable. They are a direct result of our policy choices.

Let's build more, and build fast.

Cynthia not only lovingly cares for her daughter and sister, she fights for a better future for caregivers and their loved ones.

Home care workers are not a budget number — they’re real people. Their work deserves our respect and support.

California is in a cost crisis. In the Inland Empire, and across the state, people are barely making ends meet.

Making California more affordable is my top priority as Governor.

The time for patience is over.

When I’m Governor, there won’t be any more waiting to make the investments care workers deserve. I’ll get it done.

Standing up to Donald Trump and lowering costs for Californians aren’t two different things — they’re one and the same.

After this year’s election, it’s clear California wants a fighter as Governor.
