Expanding Affordable Health Care

Malia is committed to bridging gaps in access and policy to ensure all people, from all backgrounds, are supported. She’ll fight to bring greater diversity to the decision making table so that our policy truly reflects the people who make up our state. In addition to ensuring that all people feel supported and protected in our state, she’ll also demand accountability for any acts of violence, hate, or discrimination to send a strong message that it will not be tolerated.

Retirement Security

Reproductive health care is under attack. Malia will fight to protect it. She wrote the Pregnancy Information Disclosure and Protection Ordinance, which prohibits crisis pregnancy centers in the City from making false or misleading statements about their services. After its passage, this measure was challenged in the U.S. District Court and upheld in its entirety. She’ll continue to be a champion for reproductive access for all.

Building a better future for all in California requires continued action on climate change and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. Malia is committed to this effort and to holding polluters accountable.

She’ll fight to provide additional support to these communities while ensuring we continue to move toward carbon neutrality.Malia will continue to demand transparency and accountability around reducing greenhouse gas emissions while transitioning to a green economy and protecting California’s natural resources.

She’ll continue to focus on job creation and job training, prioritizing communities of color and low-income communities that have endured long-term disinvestment.As Controller to the fourth-largest economy in the world, Malia takes seriously the stewardship of state resources and will always use her position to support Californians. When fires spread through LA County, Malia and the Controller’s office responded with disaster relief, including property tax relief for property owners impacted.On the Board of Supervisors, Malia led a measure that created more than 17,000 jobs in the Bay Area and she co-sponsored legislation establishing a citywide project labor agreement and a prevailing wage on public projects. She also championed the highest minimum wage in the country, guaranteeing San Francisco residents $15 an hour and paving the way for a minimum wage increase across the state.As a working mother, Malia knows the importance of paid leave and affordable child care.
