As a United States Representative, I’m fighting to give people opportunities for a better life.

Having grown up on the Central Coast and in a family devoted to public service, I’ve dedicated my career to giving back to our community and country. As a former prosecutor, I delivered justice for victims and their families and helped steer gang members away from a life of crime. As a former officer in the U.S. Navy and veteran of the War in Afghanistan, I served my country and fought for our shared values.

Now, as a U.S. Representative, I’m working hard to preserve, promote, and advance the opportunities for the people and working families of our congressional district. From San Jose to Santa Cruz and from the Monterey County coastline to the rolling hills of Northern San Luis Obispo County, the 19th Congressional District is dynamic and diverse in many ways. We have common values that I have fought and will continue to fight for as your U.S. Representative.

I’m working to lower the prices at our grocery stores and gas pumps with increased infrastructure investment in our roads, rail, water, and broadband, and reduce the supply-chain backlog by bolstering our manufacturing capabilities so that more products are made in America. At the same time, I’m fighting to protect our environment by reducing our carbon output, help people get housed and make housing more affordable with grants and tax credits, expand health care and lower the price of prescription drugs, reform the immigration system, and ensure for equal rights and everybody’s right to vote. I will continue to bring new ideas and civility to Congress and our community so that we can work together to govern and solve problems.
