**Housing affordability for homeowners and renters **Economic stability amidst foreign wars including job creation and new training, especially for our local workforce and entertainment industry **Crime prevention and community safety + ICE reform
Anna Wilding is a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in California’s 32nd District, challenging longtime incumbent Brad Sherman. An award-winning filmmaker, Senior White House correspondent, business owner, nonprofit founder, and disaster relief leader, Wilding is running on a platform centered on housing affordability, economic stability, crime prevention, and accountability.

Endorsed by the Progressive Democratic Club, she is a grassroots candidate with deep ties to the district, focused on delivering real results for Malibu, Simi Valley, the San Fernando Valley, and surrounding communities.

A proud American citizen and immigrant, Wilding has spent more than 30 years living and working across the United States. Her career spans media, business, and public service, where she has built companies, advised organizations, and led through crisis with a results-driven approach.

Like many families, she has also experienced hardship. She cared for both of her parents in their final chapter across two countries an experience that shaped her understanding of what families truly face and strengthened her commitment to leadership that delivers.

Wilding is running to bring proven, compassionate, get-things-done leadership to Washington and ensure no community in diverse CA-32 is overlooked.
As the only first-generation immigrant in the race, I think I can speak to this better than anyone, as I know what works and what does not. Right now, we have an entire Hispanic community and other immigrant communities hurting. As a Congresswoman, I would not only support reform I would create new visas, that would in turn create legitimate pathways to citizenship and legislation that meet the moment.

We need to educate people on what visas are available, create new visas that meet America’s modern needs, modernize or do away with visas that no longer suit our times, and treat all with dignity, respect, and due process. In addition, millions of Americans have gone through grueling processes or made significant significant compromises, to do everything the right way. We also need to honor all first-generation immigrants who did do it the right way. If America allows people in under specific visas or amnesty programs, we have an obligation to stand by those laws and treat people fairly under them. If a new law is enacted, it should apply prospectively, not retroactively
Yes. We need full transparency. No more dark money, no more hidden donors. Every dollar influencing our elections should be traceable.

And yes, we need to overturn Citizens United v. FEC so billionaires and special interests cannot drown out the voices of everyday Americans.
The federal government plays a role in California’s water system, but we need to get real and start delivering solutions.

Humans have been moving water for thousands of years. This is not new. We know how to do it we just have to actually do it. That means desalination in California where it makes sense, building more storage, recycling water, irrigation, and managing resources like the Colorado River Basin responsibly and efficiently.

We also need to fix outdated infrastructure that wastes water every day and invest in systems that move water where it’s needed most.

And let’s be clear, in a state facing devastating fires, firefighters must have enough water at all times. That is non-negotiable. Water policy has to include fire preparedness and emergency access as a top priority.

I am working with coalition partners, including the National Infrastructure Bank, on real projects focused on infrastructure, job creation, and expanding the most effective ways to move and manage water.

This is about getting things done, not talking about it.
