Georgette Gómez’s proven record includes impactful advocacy in the State Capitol. She joined with then-Assemblymember Todd Gloria and the business community to pass the CASA Act (AB 2372), expanding affordable housing construction incentives. Georgette worked with then-Assemblymember Toni Atkins for passage of AB 1071, ensuring penalties for corporate polluters benefit communities most impacted by pollution. She partnered with Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez to pass AB 805, transforming San Diego’s regional transportation agency to provide stepped-up accountability, representation and transit service for underserved communities in South San Diego County.
While working families are struggling to make ends meet, the wealthiest corporations in history are paying their workers low wages without benefits and nothing in taxes. This is an unfair economic deal that starves our schools and robs workers of the opportunities they want to give their families better lives. Most Americans are working longer and harder for less. In the Assembly, Georgette will fight to create jobs that pay living wages, push to strengthen unions, and ensure that we are providing workers with important quality of life benefits such as paid vacation time, retirement benefits, paid sick leave, and paid family leave.
