As a Nurse Advocate and Small Business Owner, Pilar spent two decades helping to provide thousands of good paying jobs, guaranteed healthcare and retirement security for workers and families. She was at the table to negotiate one of the first $15 minimum wage increases in the nation, demand equal pay, and improve safety protections for frontline workers. Pilar will push for job training programs so people can get the skills they need to build a career and be financially secure. Pilar’s 20 year track record is why she is the only candidate endorsed by labor icon Dolores Huerta, the California Federation of Labor, SEIU California, California Nurses Association, California Teachers Association, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor and more then 55 unions representing millions of California workers.
