Immigration & Border: “I am an immigrant from the Philippines who was on public assistance as a child, and became a civil rights and securities attorney, while continuing in other ways to struggle. This background is like so many in my district, which is 87 percent BIPOC, nearly 50 percent immigrants, and yet 25 percent at or below federal poverty levels.”
(Ballotpedia (Campaign themes)) Healthcare: “Their stories drive my work, which always remains centered on the people themselves. I really care about my community, and try to show it, instead of just saying it.”
(Ballotpedia (Campaign themes)) Public Safety & Justice: “I am effective at shaping the law to address the needs of my community. For example, I got the first bill by a State Representative from this district/area passed since 2004: a bill on Native Americans in Georgia, an underappreciated group. I also expanded the Georgia Crime Victims Emergency Fund to cover more survivors of family violence and sexual assault.”
