We live in a wonderful part of California with a bountiful amount of beaches, parks, and wonderful weather.  With nearly 10% of the US population set to visit California beaches in 2018, our coast is also the greatest economic driver in our community.   For both our livelihood and our local economy it is our responsibility to protect open space and beaches from over development and pollution, and expand access to them for our communities and future generations. In the Assembly I will fight to crack down on polluters, ensure that our coastlines are not marred by ill-informed development, and work to increase access to parks and open space for all residents of our communities.
