Rural communities deserve more than empty promises. They deserve investment.

In California, I’ve secured funding for new career training centers and fire academies in Mendocino, Del Norte, Sonoma, and Humboldt Counties. We’re building the largest healthcare education job hub in Northern California, focused on graduating the next generation of healthcare providers, lab technicians, and medical assistants. This hub will ensure a healthcare workforce is highly trained, positively impacting one of the most rural regions of our state. We also helped lead the successful fight to expand career training programs in California High Schools,

I’ll fight for good-paying union jobs, stronger infrastructure, expanded broadband, clean energy development, wildfire resilience, and economic development that helps small towns and rural counties thrive. Northern California should not be treated as an afterthought in Washington.
