Other facts

Under the new California redistricting map, I am now running to represent several new areas of Southern California, including the coastal areas of Venice south to the Palos Verdes Peninsula. I also retain many wonderful areas of my current district, such as Agoura, Calabasas, Malibu, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and West Los Angeles. While the geography of the district I am running in has changed, my commitment to fairness and fighting for tangible improvements in people's lives remains unwavering. I am proud to have made a real difference in the quality of life for all Americans: Helping pass the Affordable Care Act, which ensures that millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions cannot be denied insurance coverage; Forcing the big tobacco companies to stop marketing to kids and directing the Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco products; Strengthening the Clean Air and Safe Drinking Water Acts, laws that have significantly reduced air pollution and given us one of the cleanest water sources in the world; and Requiring nutritional and safety labeling on foods, and improving the safety of our nation's food supply. I look forward to fighting with you to build a better future.
