It’s a distinct honor to serve as a California member of the Democratic National Committee and fight to protect our democracy.

As the only VETERAN elected to the California DNC, I serve as a voice for our servicemembers and as a conduit to the Democratic Party and our values that respect our veterans and members of the armed forces.

I’m also proud to continue my service to our families as the District 3 Supervisor for the County of Santa Clara - the largest county in Northern California. As Supervisor I have championed sustainability and climate action measures, protected women's rights - including abortion rights and ending child marriage.

I am committed to grassroots organizing, electing Democrats, and defending our Democracy. I want to continue my service as a member of the DNC to re-elect President Biden & VP Harris, hold the Senate, and elect a strong majority in the House.
