For 30 years I have fought for and support the rights of women. I am a strong pro-choice feminist and a proud father of 5 daughters and 3 granddaughters! My daughters and wife are my closest advisors and confidants and all of my decisions are heavily weighed by their influence. I work to ensure that women will have equal opportunities in my office and that I am a strong, leading voice for the rights of women everywhere.

We must be vigilant, but we must also not overreact and be goaded into actions that will cost even more American lives and eventually make us less safe. I am confident that with a strong, steady and smart approach, we can defeat ISIS where they are and defend ourselves and our allies against attacks here at home.

I’m honored to receive the official endorsement of the California Democratic Party for my re-election. I’m fighting to give every American A Better Deal in a nation where healthcare is considered a basic human right, good paying middle class jobs are created in industries that also help safeguard our environment, and every child has equal access to a quality education. These are values that I share with the California Democratic Party, and I am honored to have their support in this fight.

I support a “Medicare for All” system that would build upon the current Medicare system to provide universal coverage with maximum efficiency. As Insurance Commissioner in 1992, I created a plan for single-payer coverage that passed the legislature but was vetoed by Governor Pete Wilson. In Congress, I am a co-sponsor of H.R. 676, the “Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act.”

I serve on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and I am committed to rebuilding American infrastructure using American parts and American labor. When the California High Speed Rail authority requested a waiver to outsource production of train cars to a foreign supplier, I immediately called the Authority and got them to reverse course. I will do everything in my power to support Making It In America. I've introduced legislation that would use the force of law to require school districts to file for a waiver if they want to use imported food for school lunch programs, and make those waiver requests accessible to the public. I believe that American schoolkids should be fed by fresh, healthy agricultural products from local American farms.

The federal income tax “overhaul” is a disaster for California. First, it will actually raise taxes on millions of Californians by sharply reducing the state and local tax (SALT) deduction. Second, it’s bad for the country as a whole: this bill creates an additional $1.9 trillion federal deficit and sets the stage for the federal government to have an annual deficit of at least $1 trillion every year into the future. Our children will pay and pay for the huge tax cut. 83% of the nearly $2 trillion tax cut goes to the super wealthy 1% of Americans and to giant corporations. And now President Trump and Republican leaders are proposing to fill the vast hole in the federal treasury with trillion-dollar reductions in Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. Watch out, seniors! As if that isn’t bad enough, the modest middle-class tax cuts expire in six years, thus raising taxes on most American families eventually.

My top three priorities in Congress are jobs, jobs, and jobs. Continuing our economic recovery from the Great Recession requires a commitment to fair trade deals, stopping outsourcing, and promoting American manufacturing through Make It In America policies.

Social Security benefits need to keep pace with the unique increases in the cost of living incurred by seniors. Right now, Social Security uses a cost of living index (COLA) that reflects the way young employed adults spend their money. But seniors spend a much higher proportion of their income on prescription drugs and medical care services whose prices rise much faster than goods and services used by younger adults. To address this problem I’ve authored a bill, the “Fair COLA Act”, that would require Social Security to use a price index that reflects the way seniors spend money. It’s called the CPI-E. When adopted, this new price index will help seniors by ensuring that benefits keep up with cost increases.
