Irvine mom & consumer protection attorney. Former Orange County Congresswoman. Running to be California's next governor.

Over the past 15 months, we traveled the state, knocked on doors, made phone calls, hosted town halls, and heard from Californians who believe in our vision for a more affordable state. California, I will always fight for you.

As Californians head to the ballot box, I'm still the only candidate in this race who has never accepted corporate contributions. Corporations and billionaires have spent hundreds of millions trying to buy this seat, but they can’t buy your vote. (1/2)

I’m not a billionaire. I’m not a corporate-backed politician. I’m a single mom who pushes the shopping cart and actually gets what you’re going through. And I know how to make life more affordable for California families.

As a single mom of three teenagers, I worry about whether or not my kids will be able to afford to live in California in the future, and I know I'm not alone. I'm running for Governor to bring down costs for families and make it actually affordable to live here.

This Pride Month, as the Trump administration continues to attack LGBTQ+ Americans and trans youth in particular, we must stand strong against hatred and vitriol and live up to the meaning of Pride—to celebrate who you are. I will always defend the right to love who you love and be who you are.

Like millions of Californians who have already turned in their ballot, I voted this weekend! Californians, Election Day is tomorrow. If you haven't had the chance to vote yet, the time is now!

Oversight is not about pointing fingers. It's about helping government succeed. California's next Governor must be accountable to taxpayers and make sure that our programs are actually working before adding more funding.

Californians deserve a tax structure that puts hardworking families before billionaires and giant corporations. That's why I've proposed a progressive corporate tax that would allow us to give tax relief to struggling businesses and eliminate state income taxes under $100,000.

People who don't have health care don't avoid getting sick. They just end up getting care where it's most expensive: the emergency room. That's why health care everyone can afford and access is so important.

Housing is personal to me. I got my start in public service working under then-Attorney General Kamala Harris protecting families from foreclosure. It's also personal to me because I worry about my kids not being able to afford housing in California in the future. (1/2)

As a single mom of three kids, I've tried every type of child care available—and none of them are affordable. As Governor, I will deliver free child care for all and put thousands back in families' pockets.

As a single mom of three teenagers, I know firsthand how expensive college has become. Tuition-free college allows us to put money back in families' pockets and restore the promise California once made to its students.

Had a great time this morning at a GOTV canvass launch with the Orange County Employees Association and OC Labor Fed. Californians: The time to vote is now! Make sure to get your ballot in by June 2nd.

From helping to protect families from foreclosure to taking on Big Pharma for price gouging, my life's work has been about affordability. Californians deserve a leader with a proven track record of bringing down costs and who will do it again as Governor.

Housing is the biggest bill most families face in California. It's hurting our seniors, our families, and our younger generations trying to build their lives here. That's why I've made lowering housing costs my top priority since I launched my campaign.

If you're not willing to admit it when your party falls short, you're not aiming high enough. I will be a Governor for all Californians because I know how to hold myself and others accountable.
