Housing: California's housing crisis can only be solved with one thing: housing. I will work to secure funding from Sacramento to scale up affordable housing projects, cut red tape to build more middle-income homes, work to fund local projects for mixed-use buildings and smart growth, and simultaneously work to ensure that quality of life in our neighborhoods is maintained while housing supply increases.
Affordable healthcare: Over 200,000 people in San Diego County are uninsured and one illness or injury from bankruptcy. Everyone knows someone with cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, or asthma. Anyone can get hit by a car or break a bone. The fact is that any leader who takes public safety or economic security seriously must be a champion for healthcare access. I will work to ensure that California's healthcare system is reformed so that every Californian has access to high quality, affordable, and reliable healthcare to take care of themselves and those they love most, and that we work toward a system of healthcare for all.
