Environment / Energy In addition to respiratory issues, residents of CA-37, especially South and East LA, face rising rates of heart disease, heat-related illness, and mental health stress linked to environmental hazards. Noise pollution, limited access to green space, and exposure to toxic chemicals also drag us down. Clean air and public health are among my top priorities. Everyone benefits from a clean environment, and we have the technology to make it a reality. We just have to prioritize health. Environment / Energy Air pollution has harmed the health of Los Angeles residents for decades, and the problem continues today despite progress from California’s strong environmental laws and cleaner-burning gasoline. Wildfires such as the Palisades and Eaton Fires recently blanketed the 37th District with smoke, compromising the health of all residents who risk long-term chronic respiratory problems. Criminal Justice / Public Safety There are many things that can go into making a neighborhood feel unsafe: excessive traffic and reckless drivers, gang violence, gun violence, and unlawful immigration raids. The government has a responsibility to create safe streets, safe neighborhoods and ensure residents who live peacefully can live without fear. There are many practical steps we can take to make our streets safer, and along with health, I will prioritize safety, and work closely with you on the details you think will make a difference.
