Tamika Hamilton was born in Calvert County, Maryland in 1984. Estranged from her father and born to an underage mother, Tamika was raised by her loving grandparents, who were military veterans and farmers by trade, whom she credits with instilling in her the importance of public service.
Record inflation has eaten into the paychecks of working class people. The cost of food, everyday goods, and vital services also continue to rise. It’s time for a new direction on the economy. As your congresswoman I will fight to:
• Reduce inflation
• Make the middle-class tax cuts permanent
• Reduce regulations on small business
• Expand opportunity zones in urban areas
Major cities across America have seen an increase in violent crime. Victims of crime should expect justice and hardened career criminals should not be able to exploit the compassion of our justice system. As your congresswoman I will:
• Ensure your 2nd Amendment rights are protected
• Encourage cooperation between the justice department and local law enforcement
• Review federal sentencing guidelines to ensure fairness
• Work to provide law enforcement with the tools and analytical resources to keep communities safe
California needs to partner with the federal government and develop solutions to lower home prices. As your congresswoman, I’ll lead efforts to develop public-private partnerships to ensure working residents aren’t priced out of their communities and that those experiencing homelessness can be put on a path to self-sufficiency. My goal is to:
• Incentivize local governments to reduce and remove red tape that drives up housing costs
The public education system should not be used to indoctrinate students. I support the rights of parents to choose the best educational path for their children and will look for opportunities to expand school choice and promote curriculum that is inclusive, not divisive.
Americans should feel safe at home and abroad. Unfortunately, military morale is low, our foreign enemies are emboldened, and drug cartels remain a very real threat at U.S.—Mexico Border. As your congresswoman I will:
• Support our military and ensure focus on readiness
• Fight for technology upgrades and increased security along the border
• Strengthen relationships with our international allies
• Encourage the strategic use of political and economic sanctions
Americans should be able to choose affordable healthcare options that work best for them. As your congresswoman, I will support legislation that allows residents to buy insurance and fulfill prescription services across state lines.
Our veterans have honored their commitment to our country. It’s only right we honor our commitment to them. Veterans who honorably serve our country deserve the assurance of having full access to healthcare, medical services, and the opportunity to fully transition back into civilian life.
Taxes rates should be kept low, fair, and easy to understand. As your congresswoman, I’ll support the extension of the middle-class tax cuts and will fight to make them permanent.
California has been through enough drought cycles – our policy leaders should have a water storage mastered by now. Farmers and the agricultural community contribute greatly to our regional and state economy and should be respected when it comes to developing water policies. It’s time for smart legislation that eases water restrictions on our farmers while keeping the environment safe.
We need to make job creation easier in District 3. With the economy in a recession due to the COVID-19 crises, now is the time to bring federal tax incentives to our region to create jobs for our hardworking residents and families.
Families should be supported and have job security during such an important and special time. There are numerous economic and health benefits that result when parents are given adequate time off after the birth or the adoption of a new baby.
