At a time of great uncertainty, when California faces a second Trump Administration after two years of steep deficits, it is critical that our state has proven, effective leaders who will be diligent watchdogs of California’s tax system.

 

Throughout my career in the State Assembly, as City Councilmember and as a Police Officer, I have been a committed champion for my constituents in providing resources and funding for important programs in communities that have been historically underserved. As the longest-serving Assembly Democratic Caucus Chair in California history, I helped lead our state through significant budget shortfalls, while always protecting working families and our most vulnerable communities.

 

That’s why I’m running for Board of Equalization, to ensure big corporations pay their fair share, protect taxpayers, and increase transparency at the BOE.
