Education: I am firm believer in the power of education, and making substantial improvements to our nation’s education system must be a top priority.

Clean Energy: As a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, I have made it a toppriority to bring clean energy technology to Sacramento, and to support companies who aim tobring create good-paying, clean-tech jobs to our region.

Flood Protection: Flood protection remains one of my top priorities, as it is key to the safety and economic vitality of our region. I am working every day to see that our flood protection priorities get the federal attention and funding they require, and to ensure that flood insurance rates remain affordable for all Sacramento residents. We must finish the new spillway at Folsom Dam, improve the American and Sacramento River's Levees, and complete the South Sacramento Steams Group Project.

Health Care: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) not only opened up access to health insurance for millions of Americans, it also improved the quality of insurance, providing new consumer protections and cost savings.

Jobs and Economic Security: I will continue supporting legislation that will create jobs and move our economy forward by investing in the growing industries of health care, clean energy, and technology. This will not only make our economy stronger today, but make our future brighter tomorrow.
