“Every family deserves a good job and affordable home! Under my leadership, Fremont has consistently exceeded our affordable housing goals and created union jobs. I’ll continue the fight to reduce income inequality, address skyrocketing home prices, and expand affordable housing and job opportunities for all Californians.”
