Families across Northern California are paying more for groceries, rent, utilities, gas, insurance, and childcare — while wages struggle to keep up.

I’ll fight for an economy that actually works for working people: lowering everyday costs, taking on corporate price gouging, expanding affordable housing, bringing down utility bills, and making childcare and elder care more affordable.

In the California Senate, I've taken these issues head-on — saving Californians $60 billion in electric bills, securing funds for first-time homebuyers and tax credits for renters, and expanding subsidized chilcare slots in every corner of the state. We've increased access to higher education with free tuition to California Community Colleges and we're building thousands of units of new workforce and affordable housing.

Leaders in Washington need to act now to drive up wages and drive down prices, so everyday Americans can thrive. Increase the minimum wage, build new housing, and repeal Donald Trump's disastrous tariffs.

People are working hard. They deserve a fair shot.
