Statement:

On 1.25.2007, I was t-boned by a redlight running towtruck at 19th Ave & Bell. I almost died. So, I survived to help people. Additionally, I am running because on March 4th, 2026 on or around 2:33 PM, 182 House Democrats and 175 House Republicans voted to keep their sexual misconduct records from being released because the only names redacted would be the witnesses and the victims, not the sexual predators. This was BEFORE the revelation of the sexual misconduct of Former Rep Eric Swalwell (CA).
