“My mission is simple: work with everyone, regardless of politics or party, to solve problems and get things done. I'll never stop working to lower costs, create jobs, and support San Diego's key economic engines. I'll keep pushing for a cleaner energy future to slow climate change, find innovative ways to bring down the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs, secure funding to fix the cross-border sewage crisis, fight for human rights and to protect our democracy.”
