- NO MORE CHAD!
 - 
As Secretary of State, I will ban the use of Florida-style pre-scored punchcards in California before the next presidential election.  Any delay in outlawing these archaic systems is unconscionable.
 - A CAREER OF BREAKING BARRIERS
 - 
I have spent my entire career opening the doors of opportunity for all Californians, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, age, etc.  I'm not done yet!
 - MODERNIZING THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE
 - 
I will harness technology to make the Office of the Secretary of State more user-friendly and a partner in job creation in California.
