I realize that this is a challenging time in American politics and that this election is unlike those in recent memory. What has become evident during this election season is that a great number of Americans are dissatisfied with our government and have had enough of the dysfunction in Washington. My goal is to strengthen the trust between the voters and their elected representatives. My priority will be to go to Washington to get things done.
In order to realize my goal, I understand that it takes a commitment to fight for the issues important to the people of the 20th Congressional District. I have been tireless in getting out into the community to meet, listen to, and respond to the residents of the Central Coast. As someone who was raised, and has deep familial roots, on the Central Coast, I am instilled with the sense of belonging and service that is necessary to effectively represent this area in the United States Congress. I also understand that to obtain my objective, it will take working “across the aisle” and not engaging in divisive and destructive negative politics.
I have a proven track record of working with diverse individuals to get results. This includes helping to get the Veterans Cemetery built at the former Fort Ord, serving as an Intelligence Officer with a Special Forces task force in Afghanistan to combat the enemy, and protecting the public safety and obtaining justice for victims of crime by working as a deputy district attorney.
As your United States Representative, I will bring fresh ideas, new energy, independent thinking, and a bipartisan collaborative spirit to Capitol Hill. I will work with and zealously serve all of the people of the 20th Congressional District.
I am incredibly honored to have been elected to represent this area in Congress, and to continue serving our community and country.
