Robert Lucero

Housing Rob Lucero believes we need bold, innovative solutions to bring hope and dignity back to people living on America’s streets. He proposes a modern Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)—a national mobilization that would bring under-employed but able-bodied Americans into service helping the homeless. This force would help build shelters, provide critical services, and help people transition off the streets. Healthcare End the influence of corporate money over public health agencies. Environment / Energy Protect Americans from harmful chemicals in our food and environment. Environment / Energy Rob believes it’s time to fulfill that bold vision. He supports developing modern, safe nuclear power to ensure America’s energy security and power major projects like water desalination. Nuclear power can be a cornerstone of America’s economic revival and environmental conservation. Infrastructure / Transportation Why can’t the United States do what China did? If we don’t act, we risk being left behind economically and technologically. Rob believes the U.S. Must regain leadership in modern transportation, invest in high-speed rail, and create millions of good jobs building the infrastructure of the future. Healthcare Expand healthcare coverage and lower costs for all Americans. Immigration Rob grew up right here in our district, surrounded by neighbors whose stories span generations on both sides of the border. He understands the deep contributions immigrants make to Los Angeles, as well as the fear and uncertainty that harsh enforcement tactics, like the recent ICE raids, brought into our neighborhoods. Rob believes we must never again allow immigration policy to tear families apart or treat people with cruelty or disrespect. Infrastructure / Transportation A centerpiece of Rob’s plan is passing the National Infrastructure Bank Act (H.R. 5356). This legislation, already written and introduced in Congress, would create a 5 trillion National Infrastructure Bank to provide low-cost loans to states and local governments for urgently needed infrastructure projects — from modern transportation systems and water projects to energy, manufacturing, and high-tech industry. Legislation Any candidate who is serious about protecting the interests of the people - and not the billionaires - must support the restoration of Glass-Steagall. Foreign Policy Restore Congress’s Constitutional authority over war and end blank-check authorizations. Healthcare Rob has worked closely with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has championed new approaches like wellness farms where people struggling with homelessness or addiction can receive medical care, learn to grow food, and gain training in trades like carpentry, masonry, and other construction skills. Immigration Like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Rob recognizes that we are facing a humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border. Our immigration system is broken—for migrants seeking legal entry and for communities struggling to handle the consequences of uncontrolled crossings. Rob supports investing in modern technology, more personnel, and faster processing so that asylum claims are resolved quickly and fairly. He believes we must secure the border while maintaining America’s promise as a nation of immigrants. Economy Build public banks and foster community banks that invest in our communities, not international gambling. Economy Rob Lucero is calling on Congress to create a modern public works and national service program — the American System Corps — modeled on the spirit and scale of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Injured people, not insurers or corporate interests, should come first. Government Reform Rob Lucero is determined to break this stranglehold. He supports strict ethics laws, banning corporate lobbyists from staffing regulatory agencies, and imposing real transparency and accountability. It’s time for a government that serves the people — not corporate special interests. Environment / Energy Rob knows that solving America’s water crisis requires a different kind of approach and bold projects. Investing in large-scale water infrastructure will create good jobs, secure the nation’s future water supply, and ensure prosperity for generations to come. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Every American has the right to contract and to their day in court. Defense / Veterans Bring our troops home from unnecessary deployments and invest in America’s security, industry, and infrastructure. Massively scale up national service programs here at home.
