one of the easiest policy wins i can imagine for the US is to reform high-skill immigration. the fact that many of the most talented people in the world want to be here is a hard-won gift; embracing them is the key to keeping it that way. hard to get this back if we lose it.

As a kid, I worked in the fields with my dad. It's why in the Assembly, I fought to raise wages and lower the cost of lifesaving medicine for working families like mine. I’m running for #CA22 because I’ll never stop fighting for the Central Valley.
