Malia Cohen has dedicated her career to public service, focused on making our public dollars work for each and every one of us. That’s why we need her in the Controller’s office.
Malia will serve as an independent budget hawk bringing visibility, insight, and equity into how the State spends your money.
Health care is a right and Malia will fight to expand access and lower costs for all Californians. On the Board of Supervisors, she led the effort to pass the sugar-sweetened beverage tax and used funding from the measure to expand access to health care to more San Francisco residents.
As Controller, Malia will expand access to more people and demand greater accountability around prescription drug prices, so that no one has to choose between their medicine and basic necessities.
Protecting Reproductive Access
Reproductive health care is under attack. Malia will fight to protect it. She wrote the Pregnancy Information Disclosure and Protection Ordinance, which prohibits crisis pregnancy centers in the City from making false or misleading statements about their services. After its passage, this measure was challenged in the U.S. District Court and upheld in its entirety. She’ll continue to be a champion for reproductive access for all.
