U.S. House of RepresentativesCandidate for District 15

I am currently Supervisor of District 5 in San Mateo County. I serve as a commissioner on the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, a director on the City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG), the Vice Chair of the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, and as a Director on the Bay Area Air Quality Management District representing 20 cities. I also serve on boards such as the Health Plan of San Mateo, San Mateo County Medical Center, the Commission on Aging, Community Corrections Partnership, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments.

I previously served on the Daly City Council from 2008 through 2016 and I also served as Mayor in 2014. I have a bachelor’s degree from the University of San Francisco in Politics and graduated from Skyline College in San Bruno before that. I graduated high school from Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep in San Francisco. I served as a legislative aide in the California State Assembly prior to running for the Daly City Council.

I am running for congress to restore faith in Congress. I believe if Washington invests in communities, cities, and counties again with spending and policies that voters can see with their own eyes, faith can be restored in Congress.

My focus is to not only listen to the voices of our community members but empower and amplify their voices. I am not an establishment candidate who has spent the past two years in the Assembly or Congress. I am a grassroots candidate who wants to serve one of the most diverse Congressional districts in the United States and to ensure their voices are amplified in the halls of Congress.

During the past two years of the pandemic, the most challenging times any of us have ever encountered, I feel like I helped inspire the county’s residents to do everything in our power to save lives, prevent illness and to help our hard-hit businesses to recover. It’s enabled me to have the confidence to represent our county’s values in Washington DC.
