Oregon State Representative, District 33 (2020 - Present); Pulmonary and Critical Care Physician. I have been an active member of Moms Demand Action, and served on the Oregon Medical Association’s task force to reduce gun violence and was a precinct committee person for the Multnomah Democratic Party. Prior to entering office, I was also heavily involved in public K-12 education advocacy and supported local bonding efforts to invest in our schools.

As a lung and critical care physician, I witness the direct impact of climate change and poor air quality on people's health every day. In Oregon, where heart disease, stroke, respiratory illness, and cancer rank among the top five causes of death, the correlation between air pollution and these diseases is undeniable. In the state legislature, I secured massive wins transitioning Oregon to 100% renewable energy and banning “forever” PFAS chemicals and single-use plastic containers In Congress, I will champion a swift transition to 100% renewable energy sources to mitigate our reliance on fossil fuels. I will invest in rebuilding America’s crumbling electrical infrastructure to expand high voltage transmission capacity, invest in expanding clean domestic manufacturing to make Oregon and the United States leaders in innovative, green manufacturing, and hold corporations accountable for environmental pollution and secure funds to clean up polluted sites like the Willamette River.
As a Moms Demand Action volunteer and Everytown for Gun Safety endorsed candidate, my commitment to combat gun violence is both personal and professional. As a mother, I've experienced the terror of not being able to contact my daughter during UVA’s mass shooting. As a physician, I've seen firsthand the devastating effects of gun violence on families and communities. My legislative work has focused on enacting common-sense gun reforms to safeguard children, families, teachers, and neighbors. I made Oregon the ninth state to outlaw ghost guns and implement safe storage laws. I've successfully secured $47 million for gun violence prevention programs. In Congress, I’ll expand background checks, close the "Charleston loophole," enhance state Red Flag laws, establish community funds for violence intervention, prevent abusers with restraining orders from having firearms, and push for the reinstatement of the bipartisan Congressional assault weapons ban.
As a firm believer in democracy's power, I'm committed to ensuring every American's right to vote is defended robustly. In the Oregon Legislature, I’ve focused on protecting our electoral system against threats, particularly from MAGA extremists, by passing laws that shield voters, election workers, and uphold electoral integrity. I've successfully advocated for counting ballots postmarked before election deadlines and eliminated loopholes allowing politicians to hide their income sources. In Congress I’ll fight to end Citizens United to remove big money from politics, pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to guarantee voting access, enact the For the People Act to reduce money's influence, combat gerrymandering, and implement stringent ethics for officials. I advocate for expanding national vote-by-mail, abolishing the Electoral College, and granting statehood to Washington D.C., underscoring my commitment to making democracy more inclusive, transparent, and fair for all Americans.

I support a Green New Deal. We must move away from fossil fuels. That means we have to stop extracting it, and stop building new fossil fuel infrastructure. And we simultaneously must create the green new infrastructure required for moving to renewable energy. This is going to require investments in large scale mitigation and resiliency projects, upgrades to public infrastructure, modernization of millions of buildings to cut pollution, investments in public health, protections for public lands, regenerative agriculture investments that support local and regional food systems, and more. I’ll work to ensure frontline communities are the first to get relief from new policies and investments, including working directly with frontline communities in my own district. And finally, we cannot talk about climate change without including housing, which is why I'll fight for Senator Bernie Sanders’ Green New Deal for public housing and push to create zero-carbon, highly energy-efficient homes.
Gun violence in our communities is absolutely unacceptable. Too many of our children live in fear in their own schools, too many communities have been torn apart by gun violence, and too many of our elected officials are in the pocket of the gun industry lobbyists. There are common sense regulations that we must have on their sale, including universal background checks, to prevent them from falling into the hands of criminals or the mentally disturbed, red flag laws, and banning military style assault weapons. There are also some new technologies worth exploring, such as smart technology that prevents anyone other than the registered owner of a gun from firing it. The federal government could incentivize manufacturers to install these technologies. It's also stunning that gun manufacturers are the only business in America that can’t be held accountable for their behavior. In Congress, I would push for and vote to repeal the law, pushed by the NRA, that gives them this protection.
The health of our democracy is the most important thing we have. MAGA Republicans have attacked our country at its very core, questioning the validity of our elections and attacking fundamental freedoms – whether it be their relentless assault on voting rights, a dangerous anti-science LGBTQI+ agenda that puts the lives of trans kids and same-sex marriages at risk, telling women what to do with their bodies, giving corporations more rights than people in our campaign finance systems, or banning books in our libraries. In Congress, I will work to pass policies that safeguard against voter suppression, gerrymandering, and any other barriers that infringe upon the fundamental right to vote. It also means I’ll push for the restoration of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act and support legislation like the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. And I’ll advocate for taking Oregon’s innovations national, by supporting national automatic voter registration and national vote by mail.

The climate crisis poses significant threats to our planet's stability and the well-being of future generations, with far-reaching implications for our environment, economy, and society. Urgent action is needed to mitigate the impacts of climate change and protect our planet for future generations. Therefore, I am committed to advocating for bold climate policies that prioritize renewable energy, environmental conservation, workforce training program development, and lift marginalized communities. By investing in sustainable practices and transitioning to a low-carbon economy, we can mitigate the worst effects of climate change and safeguard our natural resources.

Gun violence is a uniquely American problem, and one that we can fix — we just need leaders in Washington to start prioritizing our lives over NRA donor contributions. It’s also one that is deeply personal to me. I mourn the loss of my two brothers and several close friends by committing to end the gun violence epidemic. I’ll proudly earn an ‘F’ rating from the NRA’s PAC and never accept a penny from them because I firmly believe in: Establishing universal background checks and Red Flag Laws, Banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, Promoting responsible gun ownership, Funding research, intervention, and survivor support resources.

My work is grounded in ensuring everyone has access to our democracy. During my time at the Voto Latino, Center for Community Change, and Democracy Alliance, I worked to engage and increase the political power of the growing Latino population and the Rising American Electorate (the new American majority composed of women, people of color, youth, and immigrants) in America. I worked to bring vote by mail to Honolulu and establish Permanent Early Vote List in Arizona to increase Latino turnout. As Treasurer at Democratic Party of Oregon I learned what it takes to protect our democracy, increase voter turnout, and ensure every voice is heard: We need to make it easier to participate in our democracy — not harder, We must protect and fully restore the Voting Rights Act, We must combat voter suppression efforts, We must keep our elections reliable and secure.
