It was Angelique’s experience as a business owner, and a neighborhood activist, coupled with her earlier years as a single mother living in low-income housing, using food stamps and subsidized child care while attending law school and raising her son on her own, that gave her the perspective necessary to usher in a new day at Sacramento’s City Hall.
Many families were struggling before this pandemic. Covid-19, and all of its far-reaching impacts, have made those problems worse.
Angelique hasn’t been sitting on the sidelines — she’s been leading in Sacramento since the moment this crisis hit by supporting essential workers, expanding testing, funding internet access, establishing child care, dealing with mental health concerns, providing food to seniors and low-income households, setting up vaccination sites and helping small businesses as well as those who lost their employment.
In the State Senate, Angelique will continue to prioritize those hit hardest by this crisis — working families, children, communities of color, small businesses, and our seniors — by advocating for smart public policy that keeps people in their homes, expanding access to health care, and ensuring our schools are safe for all.
