Top Priorities if Elected |   
- Work to change the political system so the budget will follow California's values, not campaign contributors' values.
 - Ensure that taxes have the right balance between corporate & individual, wealthy & regular citizens, and pay-as-we-go vs. children-pay-off-bonds.
 - Keep the good parts of Prop 13-era changes, making sure taxes don't make us lose our homes, AND correct the devastating betrayals.

California has a significant role to play in addressing the global climate crisis.
