Energy & environment

I am honored to represent California’s 36th Congressional District, which will host the Olympic Athletes Village at UCLA and the first LA 28 medal event, the Women’s Triathlon in Venice Beach. Ahead of the Olympics, we must ensure that athletes are able to get to and from their events safely and efficiently. Just as importantly, we must make sure the millions of Angelenos and visitors from around the world attending the Games can reliably travel to the venues while minimizing traffic impacts on Los Angeles County residents.
