California is a magical place...
A wonder of the world. The fifth largest economy. The home of Hollywood and Silicon Valley.
But we are also the home of millions of families barely making it, or forced to consider leaving. Sky high housing prices and the nation’s worst homelessness. A middle class income no longer provides a middle class life.
And now, Donald Trump is weaponizing the federal government against our state—cutting off funding for essential services, hurting our economy, threatening our democracy and way of life.
Our people are inventing the future. And yet, too much of our government seems stuck in the past. Billions of wasted taxpayer dollars. Bad customer service. Failing to protect public safety and public health. Blocking rather than building the things we need. Making life more expensive, not more affordable.
The job of our next state senator has to be listening then leading, taking your concerns to Sacramento, and bringing people together to solve problems.
This generation of Californians may be the first that ends up worse off than their parents. We can’t accept that.
We need to fix this.
About Me
My grandparents lived the California Dream. They moved here at a time when anything seemed possible. I grew up with a wonderful family in the heart of West LA, and never expected to run for office.
I delayed college to work for Hillary Clinton, and became a journalist to cover politics, from presidential campaigns to the Great Recession, producing Katie Couric’s interview with Sarah Palin and stories from Politico to The Atlantic.
I also became a lawyer and launched two tech startups.
When Trump became president the first time, I decided I couldn’t just observe politics anymore, I had to work to change politics. And from Sec. Pete Buttigieg to Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto to Rep. Shontel Brown, I helped elect candidates I believe in.
Now that Trump is president again, and with the enormous challenges we face, I am running to get things done, to make it easier and more affordable to live here, and to improve our public services.
As the husband of an educator, and father of two young kids growing up in our district, this isn’t just political to me.
It’s personal.
