I’m proud to be the only candidate in the race for CA-47 endorsed by law enforcement organizations, including the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs.

As a California State Senator, I worked closely with local law enforcement to combat rising crime and homelessness, including authoring two key bills to address rider safety on public transit, and procuring millions of dollars for various local law enforcement priorities to help keep our communities safe. 

I’ve continued that work in Congress and in my first term, I secured over $1.5 million to upgrade a local law enforcement training facility and to establish a new public safety initiative in Orange County. My office engages regularly with local police, community leaders, as well as teachers and parents, and introduced legislation to address some of their top concerns like improving e-bike safety and keeping unregistered firearms off our streets. 

I also helped lead a bipartisan bill to expand eligibility for disability benefits and speed up wait times for federal law enforcement officers who get hurt on the job as well as fought for additional funding for state and local police. In Congress, I will continue to support members of law enforcement and their families while also advocating for a common sense approach to criminal justice, one that balances the desire for fair and racially neutral policing with the need to keep our streets, our homes, and our workplaces safe from crime.
