I am honored to be recognized as a Legislative Pro-Kid Champion with a 100% score on the 2023-24 Pro-Kid Scorecard by the Children Now Action Fund. This recognition reflects my legislative commitment to advancing policies that prioritize the well-being of California's children and their future success.

Every vote I cast in the Legislature is guided by the intent to create policies that ensure our children have access to the opportunities they deserve. Whether it's building an economy that provides good-paying, living-wage jobs, ensuring access to quality education that prepares them for the 21st century, or addressing critical issues like mental health, clean air, and affordable housing, my focus remains on shaping a brighter future for California's youth.

My legislative work is driven by the belief that investing in our children today leads to a stronger, more prosperous state tomorrow. I will continue working tirelessly to support policies that empower our kids to succeed, debt-free, with the tools they need to thrive.
