Education and Qualifications:

I’m the daughter of a secretary and a factory worker.  We lived paycheck-to-paycheck, and moved from one apartment to another when the rent was raised.  I worked my way through college, but like many others, I worried if my paycheck would be enough for tuition, rent, and groceries.  I spent seven years as a Naval Intelligence Officer, earned a Master’s and Ph.D., taught at universities around the world, and was eventually elected to the Pacific Grove City Council.  The Central Coast is my home.  This is where I raise my family, volunteer, live, and work.  I’m your neighbor.

I have fought my entire life to get ahead, and I will fight every day in Congress to advance solutions to the challenges facing our community.  This includes education reform that honors teachers and empowers children; immigration reform that supports entrepreneurship while making the American Dream achievable for everyone; housing and banking reform that ensures affordability and accessibility; water and transportation infrastructure to meet our district’s current and future needs; and the protection of our irreplaceable natural environment.  My personal and professional experiences make me uniquely qualified to address these problems while providing the leadership needed to bring stability and security to our increasingly dangerous world.     

Our families deserve action and practical solutions.  I will go to Washington to serve you.  I will fight for you and for the Central Coast.
