In 2018, you elected me to serve as your representative in the California State Assembly. 

Since then, we have made real progress for our Central Coast communities. I was proud to win passage of the Farmworker Housing Act of 2019, a bill I authored that will help build safe and affordable housing in agricultural communities. This bill is an important step forward in addressing our homelessness crisis, although much work remains to be done. 

Improving our children’s education is another top priority.  I authored the Golden State Teacher Grant Program, which secured $89 million to provide grants to teachers who commit to teach in schools lacking qualified educators. I will fight to make sure that every child in our district has the resources and support they need to be successful. 

Traffic conditions in our area are damaging our economy and our quality of life. I am working with leaders across the district to find long-term solutions for this urgent issue.  And I will continue to fight for strong environmental protections that safeguard our air and water. 

My family has deep roots in Assembly District 30. I was raised in farmworker housing near Hollister after my family immigrated from Mexico in search of a better life.  Now, my wife Christen and I are proud to be raising our daughter here. 

As your Assemblymember, I am committed to solving problems and standing up for every member of our community. It is an honor to advocate for you in Sacramento.
