Issues
Civil Rights and Equality
Civil rights are human rights and I firmly believe that all people are created equal. The right to vote, the right to marry the person you love, and the right to serve your country are all inalienable rights protected by the United States Constitution. I’m proud to serve in Congress and help to ensure these civil rights are protected.

Immigration
The United States is country of immigrants. I am the daughter of immigrants. Our country’s proud tradition of welcoming immigrants and refugees is part of what makes America exceptional.

I also serve on the Tax Policy Subcommittee of the Ways and Means Committee, focusing much of my time on examining potential changes and improvements to our federal tax code.
Transportation
As a Southern California native, I understand the multifaceted challenges facing our region when it comes to smart transportation policy. I have consistently worked to bring federal dollars back to the 38th Congressional district and the Los Angeles County area to repair aging bridges, roads, and railways.
