As Deputy State Controller in two administrations,
I worked on a state "green jobs" initiative,
developed educational forums for emerging minority
businesswomen, and implemented statewide tax
forums to address Domestic Partner laws.

increased funding for this program and was among
the first citizens to serve as a local elected

previously served as a State Democratic Delegate
on behalf of the former State Controller.

I am currently working on a statewide task force
to study the implementation of renewable energy in

work steadfastly to ensure equal rights, renewable
energy, health care for all,public safety, and
economic stability for the working men and women
of California.
