It was Angelique’s experience as a business owner, and a neighborhood activist, coupled with her earlier years as a single mother living in low-income housing, using food stamps and subsidized child care while attending law school and raising her son on her own, that gave her the perspective necessary to usher in a new day at Sacramento’s City Hall.
The safety of our families and communities is what matters most. On the City Council, Angelique expanded funding and programs to ensure our neighborhoods have more firefighters and emergency resources, brought diverse coalitions together to address neighborhood violence, and implemented important policing reforms like wearing body cameras. She championed Sacramento’s adoption of Breonna’s Law (making Sacramento, California’s first large city to ban no-knock drug raid warrants) and co-sponsored adoption of the national Black Lives Matter policy platform initiative, “8 That Can’t Wait.”
