Taxes / Budget I support bold taxation on extreme wealth to fund housing, climate resilience, public education, and healthcare. As Treasurer, I will use the voice and influence of the office to advocate for tax justice, ensuring the ultra-wealthy and multinational corporations pay their fair share. Wages / Job Benefits We need living wages that reflect the real cost of living and better support for our workers. As Treasurer, I will champion investments in worker-owned enterprises, union jobs, and community-based businesses, not corporations that extract profit while suppressing wages. Foreign Policy As State Treasurer, I will advocate for divestment from war-driven industries and fossil fuels, and reinvestment in systems that support peace, stability, and everyday needs. Education Public funds should not be invested in predatory lenders that profit from crushing educational debt. I support creative public financing strategies and debt relief initiatives that move us toward a student debt jubilee. Education should be a liberation. Foreign Policy I support full divestment from: Corporations arming the Israeli government’s military operations Housing Housing is a human necessity, not a speculative commodity. Public dollars should build homes, not hedge fund portfolios. I support the development of public banking alternatives, including efforts like the Public Bank of the East Bay. Public banks can redirect our state’s financial power toward affordable housing, climate adaptation, and small business development instead of Wall Street speculation. Healthcare Healthcare is a human right. Our public investments should strengthen community health systems and mental health services, not insurance conglomerates that deny care while generating record profits. As Treasurer, I will support financial strategies that help move California toward universal healthcare and ensure public dollars prioritize care over corporate gain.
