COVID has had a devastating impact on our community, especially frontline workers and people of color. I support the extension of COVID sick days and support for businesses that are struggling to recover. I will work to ensure that we have the resources to stay safe including access to vaccines and rapid testing. The stress of the pandemic has also created an unprecedented rise in the need for mental health care. I support insurance coverage for telehealth and copayment waivers to ensure LA County residents can get the help they need.
