As co-Chair of the Creative Rights Caucus (CRC), I work to protect intellectual property such as patents and copyright, which contributes greatly to our state and local economy. We rely greatly on the development, protection, and enforcement of intellectual property since the production of content like movies, music, books, and software is critical to growing California’s job market and overall economy.
Hazing has no place in our military. It undermines our military readiness and deeply scars volunteers forced to endure it. We must have a zero-tolerance hazing policy in our military.

Our workers are the backbone of our economy, and that’s why I am fighting for workers’ rights, pensions, and their freedom to organize. I support working with unions to solve problems, build stronger workplaces, and give working families a real voice. Unions give workers a way to negotiate for their safety, security, pay, benefits, and for the best practices to get the work done. In Washington, I am fighting to protect the right to organize, expand paid leave, combat discriminatory workplace practices, and keep workers safe.
In Congress, I work to advance policies through my work with caucuses.
