Week 2
This week, I met with someone from Joshua Tree who has come onboard as my Volunteer Coordinator. Anyone interested in volunteering for my campaign will be directed to Dave so that he can see where their skills will be most useful! I joined Women 4 Women live on TikTok on Tuesday to talk about my decision to run and how others can do what I am doing. The fundraising is the biggest hurdle at this point but I am working with folks to launch that in full force. I met with the person who ran in the last two election cycles against the incumbent to discuss the strategy with three qualified candidates running in this primary. I officially registered with the FEC and am now able to accept donations so please, as you are able, click the donate now link to donate to my campaign! Finally, I went to the registrar of voters for all three counties that are in CA-District 23 to get the precinct breakdown so that I am able to better plan my outreach efforts. Week 2 was busy and I anticipate it only going up from here! Check out my upcoming events and virtual townhalls to connect with me or sign up for our newsletter!
Week 1
This is the first of many weekly updates. I want to run a transparent campaign and am going to be giving weekly updates about what has happened. During the week of March 3rd, I had professional photos taken to allow this website to happen. Shoutout to Dassi! I also went to Hesperia Civic Plaza Park and met with some of the voters in District 23 to ask what the biggest concerns they had were. The overwhelming majority shared that high taxes and lack of job opportunities were the two biggest issues facing this district. As someone that lives in the High Desert and commutes to San Bernardino for work, I understand the struggle of the 15 freeway during rush hour. Economic growth is something I want to see across the district and I plan to introduce legislation that closes corporate tax loopholes so those of us in the working class aren’t paying more in taxes than corporations bringing in billions of dollars in revenue. On Wednesday, I did my first official interview for the Invisible Not Broken podcast and will update y’all when it is live! I am also working on building a coalition to encourage other non-politicians to run for office. I believe we are ready for a change and ready for representation by people rather than career politicians. We the people for the people!
