"I’m running for the State Senate to fight day and night on behalf of working families and local neighborhoods across the Valley.
Public service has been deeply ingrained in my DNA since I was a kid. Growing up, I witnessed my Dad, Bob Hertzberg, serve as Speaker of the California State Assembly where he did big things like bring the Orange Line to the Valley and start the first clean energy solar panel manufacturing facility in the City of Los Angeles. Then, as Senate Majority Leader, he’s fought to combat climate change, invest in public education, create jobs and so much more.
Our current healthcare system in California is broken. I am a firm believer in supporting anything that is going to increase access to affordable healthcare for Californians and at the same time ultimately have the goal of a universal medicare for all style system.
