"As a competitive runner, I know that fairness comes from everyone beginning at the same starting line. But as a youth coach, I know the best teams aren't built by creating division or picking sides — they're built by uniting people around shared goals, finding common ground, and ensuring each person can succeed. We don’t need more rhetoric. California needs leaders with proven track records of removing obstacles, building consensus, and delivering real results for families. That's the leadership I'll bring to the State Senate."– Eric Alegria, Democrat for State Senate District 24

Standing Up for Our Neighbors

“Hard work used to be enough. You'd put in the hours, play by the rules, and get ahead. But for too many families, that's not how it works anymore. Costs keep rising, good jobs are harder to find and staying in the community you love feels like a luxury."I've lived it. I kept my own small business running through the pandemic. We adapted when the rules changed overnight and made payroll when nothing was certain. That experience shaped how I led on the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council. We cut the business license tax to zero and kept it there for three years. We balanced our budget while delivering real relief.&nbsp;When the Portuguese Bend Landslide struck, I took action to declare an emergency and secure resources to protect hundreds of families.“I believe that when times get hard, government should remove obstacles, not add to them. My approach: bring people together — no matter your party — focus on what actually works and deliver results. That's how we'll tackle the cost of living, the insurance crisis, school funding, and job creation.”— Eric

Long Form

Eric Alegria has spent his life bringing people together to solve challenges — as a mayor, school board member, educator, nonprofit leader, and small business owner. He knows what it takes to move communities forward and make sure every Californian has a fair start.

Experience We Need in the State Senate

Eric Alegria delivers results by bringing people together — because progress starts when everyone has a fair chance to succeed. From City Hall to the classroom, he’s led with collaboration, fairness, and action. Now he’s ready to take that experience to Sacramento to remove obstacles and build opportunity for every California family.<h4>Leading Innovation in Fire Prevention and Emergency Preparedness</h4>As Mayor Pro Tem during California’s most dangerous wildfire seasons, Eric recognized that traditional approaches weren’t enough to meet a new era of climate-driven risk. He championed proactive, technology-driven strategies that made the Palos Verdes Peninsula a model for fire prevention and resilience.Working with Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, Eric helped secure a&nbsp;$1.5 million state investment&nbsp;to launch the Peninsula’s&nbsp;Pano AI wildfire detection camera network&nbsp;— a 360-degree, real-time system that identifies wildfire activity within minutes and alerts fire crews before flames can spread.He also co-led the region’s first&nbsp;multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan, unlocking state and federal funds for resilience and risk reduction. Recognizing that 90% of Rancho Palos Verdes residents live in Cal Fire’s “Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone,” Eric spearheaded a&nbsp;comprehensive residential fire prevention program, distributing home-hardening resources to every household and implementing&nbsp;eco-friendly brush clearance&nbsp;across 300 acres of open space — even using goat grazing to prevent wildfires naturally.Eric’s leadership on fire prevention and emergency planning reflects his belief that preparedness saves lives — and that California’s future depends on communities ready to meet every challenge together.<h4>Strengthening Public Safety Through Collaboration</h4>As Mayor and Councilmember of Rancho Palos Verdes, Eric brought people together to make his city one of the safest in California — ranked the&nbsp;4th safest city in the state, with crime rates far below state and national averages.He led by building partnerships, not politics — coordinating with Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna, the Lomita Sheriff Station, and neighboring cities to implement innovative technology to prevent crime and improve emergency response.To strengthen regional coordination, Eric helped create and chair the&nbsp;Peninsula Public Safety Committee, bringing together all four Peninsula cities for the first time to form a unified safety strategy. Under his leadership, the committee expanded real-time emergency alert systems, coordinated disaster-readiness exercises, and funded new&nbsp;school resource officers&nbsp;to keep students safe across every campus.Eric believes true public safety means more than crime prevention — it’s about ensuring every community has the resources, coordination, and trust needed to respond when it matters most.<h4>Advocating for Our Kids and Keeping Students Safe&nbsp;&nbsp;</h4>As a father of four, Eric knows that every parent wants their kids to feel safe, supported, and ready to thrive. On the Palos Verdes Peninsula School Board, he’s championed school safety, expanded mental health support for students, and helped modernize aging school facilities.In the classroom, Eric serves as an adjunct instructor at USC and previously at El Camino College, where he mentors the next generation of public servants and teaches that leadership means removing obstacles for others. He believes education is where opportunity begins — and as State Senator, he’ll continue fighting to make sure every student, parent, teacher, and school employee has the support they need to succeed.<h4>Keeping Entertainment Industry Jobs in California</h4>Eric knows that a fair economy starts with good jobs close to home. While serving on the California Film Commission, he helped protect thousands of entertainment industry jobs by making film and television production more competitive in California.In the State Senate, Eric will keep fighting to ensure creative industry jobs stay here — so the people who make our stories can keep building their own right here in Los Angeles.<h4>Supporting our Small Businesses and Workers</h4>As a small business owner for more than a decade, Eric understands what it takes to make payroll, create jobs, and keep a business running through tough times. When the pandemic hit, he used that experience to help local businesses in Rancho Palos Verdes access the resources they needed to stay open and protect their employees.He knows that small businesses are the heartbeat of our economy — and as State Senator, he’ll work to make sure they have the tools and workforce support they need to grow.<h4>Listening to and Leading for Westside and South Bay Communities</h4>Eric’s public service began right here on the Westside, working as an intern then aide to L.A. City Councilmember Cindy Miscikowski in her Westchester office. He helped residents solve problems in neighborhoods from Playa del Rey to Mar Vista — learning firsthand that listening is the first step to effective leadership.He later coached football at Santa Monica High School, helping young athletes build confidence and character both on and off the field. Those experiences taught him that when people come together — community leaders, teachers, parents, and neighbors — we can find solutions that reflect the unique character of every community we serve.<h4>Protecting and Empowering Vulnerable Communities</h4>Eric’s commitment to fairness began early. As a teenager, he spent his summers working alongside farmworkers in apple packing warehouses — people who worked tirelessly but faced barriers that had nothing to do with their effort or talent.Those experiences inspired him to lead a nonprofit that helped farmworkers support their families and access educational and economic opportunities. Today, Eric continues that work by serving on nonprofit boards, sponsoring a local food pantry for South Bay families, and creating a scholarship program for students pursuing careers in public service.Eric believes real progress happens when we lift others up — and that everyone deserves the same fair starting line to build their California Dream.

Coaching a Community Through Crisis

<h3>Where Eric Comes From</h3>Eric grew up in a family where service and hard work weren't just values — they were expectations. His mother was a teacher. His father was an accountant. They taught him that education and financial responsibility are the foundation of a fair start in life.He is a PhD Candidate with an emphasis on Public Policy at Claremont Graduate University and earned a Master’s in Public Administration from the University of Southern California, a Master’s in Pastoral Theology from Loyola Marymount University, and a Bachelor of Arts from Gonzaga University.As a teenager, Eric spent summers working alongside farmworkers in apple warehouses in Washington State. The bonds he formed and the challenges he witnessed inspired him to dedicate his career to removing obstacles for others. He went on to lead a nonprofit serving farmworker families, connecting them to educational and economic opportunities so they could build their own American Dream.That experience still drives him today. Whether he's serving on a school board, running a health care organization, or helping a neighbor navigate a crisis, Eric approaches every challenge with the same question: What's standing in the way — and how do we remove it together?<h3>Leading Through Crisis</h3>On the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council, Eric didn't wait for problems to solve themselves — he brought people together and delivered results.During his first years on the Council, Eric was the only Democrat — and still found common ground to get things done. Reaching across party lines, he worked to declare an emergency to help families devastated by landslides, to make Rancho Palos Verdes the 4th-safest city in California, and to spearhead a comprehensive residential fire prevention program.When the Portuguese Bend Landslides devastated hundreds of homes, Eric took action to declare a local emergency, secured state and county resources, and led mitigation efforts to protect families when there was no time to waste.In response to rising crime concerns, he brought leaders from across the Palos Verdes Peninsula together to create a shared public safety plan — streamlining communication and reducing emergency response times. Because of these efforts, Rancho Palos Verdes became the 4th safest city in California, with crime rates far below state and national averages.Eric also led with future generations in mind. Driven by a desire to preserve California's natural beauty, he brought stakeholders together to conserve 96 acres of coastal land for the Palos Verdes Preserve — protecting endangered species like the Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly and removing dangerous brush that posed fire hazards.With more than 90% of Rancho Palos Verdes residents living in a CAL FIRE–designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, Eric helped lead a shift toward proactive, community-centered wildfire resilience. He championed Peninsula-wide investments in cutting-edge detection technology, including the Pano AI camera network — 360-degree ultra-high-definition cameras that use artificial intelligence to scan up to 15 miles and alert first responders in real time. He helped elevate home hardening and defensible space efforts, giving residents practical steps to protect their homes. And he supported the City's expanded year-round vegetation management program, clearing approximately 300 acres annually to reduce wildfire fuel and protect surrounding neighborhoods.When the pandemic hit, Eric drew on his experience as a small business owner to deliver real relief. Rancho Palos Verdes cut business license taxes to zero and kept them there for three years, connected businesses to consulting and capital assistance, and balanced the budget while helping families and business owners survive.<h3>A Career of Removing Obstacles</h3>Eric has spent his career in service — in health care, in nonprofits, in education, and in business.In Health Care: Eric has dedicated nearly 20 years to making sure health care reaches the people who need it most. He's run operations for nonprofits, clinics, and community health organizations. Today, as Chief Operating Officer of Wellness Equity Alliance, he oversees programs that expand access to equitable care for underserved communities.In Nonprofits: Earlier in his career, Eric led a nonprofit that helped farmworker families access educational and economic opportunities. Today, he continues to reach out to the margins of the community — through service on nonprofit boards, sponsoring a food pantry for South Bay families, and establishing a scholarship fund for Los Angeles County students pursuing careers in public service.In Entertainment: As a California Film Commissioner, Eric worked to protect thousands of entertainment industry jobs — understanding that every job saved means another family with stability and opportunity.As an Educator: Eric has mentored students as an instructor at USC and El Camino College, preparing the next generation to lead.As a Small Business Owner: Eric knows what small business owners face because he's lived it — making payroll, navigating regulations, and keeping his West LA business running for over a decade. That experience shaped how he led on the City Council, cutting business taxes to zero and helping local businesses survive the pandemic.<h3>Why He's Running</h3>Today, Eric serves on the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District Board of Education, where he champions student safety, mental health support, and smart investments in aging facilities. He works with teachers, parents, and staff to find solutions — because he knows the best ideas come from the people closest to the problems.He and his wife Christine are raising their four children in the South Bay where their kids attend local public schools. On weekends, you'll find him on basketball courts and football fields, coaching the next generation. Every policy he supports comes down to a simple question: Is this making California a place where my children — and all children — can work hard and succeed?Eric is running for State Senate because he believes hard work should still be enough. Too many families are doing everything right and still falling behind. Costs keep rising, good jobs are harder to find, and staying in the community you love feels like a luxury.Eric doesn't believe in Sacramento telling our communities what to do. He believes in listening to the people closest to the problems — and working together to solve them. That's how he's led on the City Council, on the School Board, and in every organization he's been part of.It's the leadership he'll bring to the State Senate.

"As your State Senator, I’ll remove obstacles, bring people together, and make sure every family has a fair start." - Eric Alegria

Meet Eric Alegria - Whale of a Day Festival

Eric Alegria has listened to South Bay families who feel like their plans are moving further out of reach. The economy has brought uncertainty for homeowners, renters, and small businesses. Insurance costs are rising. The cost of doing business in Southern California is nearly 20% above the national average. Only 11% of households in LA County can afford to buy a home.These are the kinds of obstacles that have nothing to do with how hard people work, and they are the kinds of obstacles Eric has spent his career removing.As a small business owner who meets payroll, a father of four navigating these same costs, and a neighbor who sees families stretching their budgets to stay in the communities they love, Eric understands what is at stake. During his seven years on the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council (2017 to 2024), he showed that local leaders can take real steps to make life more affordable, without cutting the services communities.<h4>What Eric Delivered in Rancho Palos Verdes</h4>Cut Taxes for Small Businesses and Home-Based BusinessesWhen COVID-19 hit, local businesses were facing a crisis. Eric and the City Council responded by launching the Small Business Assistance Program, which reduced the in-city business license tax to $0 for any business with gross receipts under $1.5 million. The program ran from 2020 through 2025, keeping local businesses open and people employed through the pandemic and beyond.During that same period, the Council also reduced the annual business tax for home-based businesses to $0, removing a cost barrier for residents running businesses out of their homes.And from 2017 through 2025, the Council suspended inflation-based annual increases on all business license taxes, both for in-city and out-of-city businesses. That meant rates did not creep up year after year for any business operating in Rancho Palos Verdes.Kept Utility Taxes LowUnder Eric's leadership, Rancho Palos Verdes maintained its utility users tax at 3%, compared to 9% in the City of Los Angeles, 10% in Santa Monica, and 6.5% in Torrance. There was no push to raise that rate, and families saw the difference in their monthly bills.Held the Line on Homeowner AssessmentsEric and the Council kept residential assessments low by setting annual lighting district assessment renewals at $0 from 2017 through 2025, meaning homeowners were not charged for that assessment year after year, even as the district remained in place.The Council also took a responsible approach to the city's storm drain user fee, which sunset before Eric took office and was not reinstated during his tenure. Instead of asking residents to pay a renewed fee, the Council used existing city funds to maintain the storm drain system.Waived Fees and Secured Relief After the LandslidesWhen the Portuguese Bend landslides destroyed hundreds of homes, the city moved quickly. Eric and the Council waived all permitting fees and expedited repair projects so families could start rebuilding without added costs. They secured a $2.8 million emergency financial assistance program from LA County, putting up to $10,000 directly into the hands of each eligible homeowner. As of mid-2025, over $2.2 million had reached 223 families.Eric also advocated directly to the LA County Assessor for property tax reassessments for homeowners whose property values had been devastated. The Assessor proactively initiated reassessments for red- and yellow-tagged properties, and the city created dedicated resources to help residents access every available form of relief.No New TaxesDuring Eric's seven years on the City Council (2017 to 2024), not a single new tax measure was placed on the ballot. The city delivered essential services, responded to a pandemic, managed a historic natural disaster, and invested in the community, all without asking residents to pay more.<h4>What Eric Will Do in the State Senate</h4>Eric will bring the same approach to the State Senate: identify the obstacles driving up costs for families, then bring people together to remove them.Housing: Expand first-time homebuyer grants and help public servants like teachers, police officers, and firefighters afford homes in the communities where they serve. Give local leaders a real voice in housing solutions that fit their neighborhoods.Insurance: Hold insurance companies accountable for maintaining coverage and paying claims quickly. Demand transparency in how rates are set, and reward communities and homeowners who invest in prevention and home hardening.Small businesses and jobs: Increase access to capital, cut through red tape, and expand film tax credits to bring entertainment industry jobs back to California.Energy costs: Invest in clean energy infrastructure and make solar and electric vehicles more affordable, so that climate policies reduce costs for South Bay families instead of adding to them.Job training: Create pathways to good-paying careers through apprenticeships and training programs that do not require a college degree, connecting workers with skills and businesses with the talent they need.Health care costs: Use statewide purchasing pools to bring down prescription drug prices. Remove inefficiencies in our health care systems so resources go to patient care, not administrative waste.

As a small business owner, father of four, and former Mayor, Eric Alegria will remove the obstacles driving up costs for South Bay families.

Volunteer Canvass - March 7th

Eric Alegria&nbsp;is a former two-term city councilmember and mayor of Rancho Palos Verdes, a current Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified school board member and has more than 17 years of South Bay public service. He also brings a background as chief operating officer of a public health company.&nbsp;The most locally rooted candidate at the forum, Alegria called for regional cooperation among South Bay cities over top-down state mandates and said he opposed SB 79 for overriding local planning processes.&nbsp;“Our local leaders know best what’s right for their community,” Alegria said.&nbsp;On homelessness, he pointed to the work being done in Redondo Beach as a model, emphasizing that trust between service providers and unhoused residents is the central challenge.&nbsp;“Trust is the ultimate challenge,” he said. “Getting them to believe and trust in the system.”On the state’s overall fiscal approach, he argued for economic development before new taxes. “Additional revenue means first prioritizing economic development,” he said.&nbsp;Alegria has secured endorsements from former state Treasurer John Chiang, former Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Redondo Beach city Councilmember Kaluderovic.

As a Rancho Palos Verdes City Councilmember, he took action to declare a local emergency when the Portuguese Bend Landslides destroyed hundreds of homes and displaced families, securing state and county resources to protect residents when there was no time to waste. He guided the city through the pandemic, delivering real relief to small businesses and vulnerable residents. And with more than 90% of Rancho Palos Verdes residents living in a CAL FIRE–designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, he helped lead a shift from reactive emergency response to proactive, community-centered resilience.Eric championed Peninsula-wide investments in cutting-edge wildfire detection technology, including the Pano AI camera network — 360-degree ultra-high-definition cameras that use artificial intelligence to scan up to 15 miles and alert first responders in real time. He helped elevate home hardening and defensible space efforts, giving residents practical, low-cost steps to protect their homes. And he supported the City's expanded year-round vegetation management program, clearing approximately 300 acres annually to reduce wildfire fuel and protect surrounding neighborhoods.That record matters — because the next emergency isn't a question of if, but when.The ChallengeThe devastating fires that struck the Pacific Palisades and Malibu communities were a tragic reminder that emergency preparedness is no longer optional — it's urgent. Extreme weather disasters driven by climate change are becoming more frequent and more destructive, and our communities need leaders who have actually managed crises, not just debated them.But emergency preparedness isn't just about the disaster itself. When wildfires, landslides, or floods strike, they create cascading crises — families lose homes, insurance claims stall, businesses close, and entire neighborhoods face long-term economic damage. We need a comprehensive approach that prepares communities before disaster strikes, responds effectively when it does, and ensures families can rebuild without being left behind.How Eric Will LeadEric will bring his proven crisis leadership to the State Senate — applying the same approach that made Rancho Palos Verdes more resilient:<ul><li>Expand wildfire prevention and early detection&nbsp;— building on the $170 million recently allocated for early action wildfire response, and scaling the kind of Pano AI fire detection systems, home hardening programs, and brush clearance efforts he championed in Rancho Palos Verdes.</li><li>Invest in community-level preparedness&nbsp;— helping communities develop emergency plans that account for the cascading impacts of disasters on housing, insurance, and local economies.</li><li>Support communities managing water-related emergencies&nbsp;— applying the lessons learned from the Portuguese Bend Landslides to protect families in landslide- and flood-prone areas across our communities.</li><li>Strengthen coordination across jurisdictions&nbsp;— ensuring rapid, seamless communication between emergency response agencies during natural disasters, replicating the Peninsula-wide collaboration he led.</li><li>Recruit the next generation of first responders&nbsp;— investing in local fire academies to build the pipeline of firefighters, paramedics, and lifeguards our communities need.</li><li>Hold insurance companies accountable&nbsp;— demanding that insurers process claims rapidly after disasters so families aren't facing financial crises on top of personal ones.</li><li>Ensure every family can rebuild&nbsp;— because no one who has done everything right should lose everything and be left to navigate recovery alone.</li></ul>

Eric Alegria led Rancho Palos Verdes through the Portuguese Bend landslide and major wildfire threats. Preparation saves lives, and he knows how to deliver it.

Emergency Preparedness | Eric Alegria for State Senate

When the Portuguese Bend landslide threatened hundreds of South Bay homes, Eric led the response by declaring a state of emergency, securing a&nbsp;$23.33 million FEMA grant, and launching a&nbsp;$42 million voluntary buyout program. He knows what you do before the crisis determines whether people survive it.

Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Recovery

Eric Alegria grew up in a middle-class community where he saw firsthand the security a stable home provides. A home is more than a place to live — it's where families rest, share meals, and build their futures. Everyone deserves that stability. But for too many families across our communities, that foundation is crumbling — housing costs consume paychecks, homeownership feels out of reach, and insurance is increasingly unaffordable or unavailable.The ChallengeEric understands the frustration so many Californians feel about our state's housing crisis. But one-size-fits-all mandates from Sacramento don't work for our coastal communities. We need more local control in the process, so communities maintain their voice while we work toward meeting our housing goals.We also need real accountability in addressing homelessness. Over $500 million in homelessness funding in Los Angeles has gone <a href="https://www.foxla.com/news/los-angeles-homeless-spending">unspent</a> — not because the need isn't there, but because of poor planning and outdated systems. Families are sleeping in cars while resources sit unused. That's not a funding problem — it's a leadership problem.How Eric will lead:Eric will bring the same approach that worked on the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council — bringing stakeholders together, focusing on what actually works, and demanding results:On Housing:<ul><li>Expand homeownership opportunities&nbsp;— providing more first-time homebuyer grants and helping public servants like teachers, police officers, and firefighters afford homes in the communities where they serve.</li><li>Protect local control&nbsp;— preserving the voice of community leaders in balancing the need for housing with protecting our environment and neighborhood character.</li><li>Push back against harmful Sacramento mandates&nbsp;— opposing measures like the builder's remedy that strip communities of their ability to plan responsibly.</li><li>Address the insurance crisis&nbsp;— bringing stakeholders together to find solutions that keep home insurance accessible and affordable for homeowners across our communities.</li><li>Support regional housing solutions&nbsp;— expanding programs like the South Bay Regional Housing Trust that allow communities to pool funding and resources to develop housing that fits local needs.</li></ul>On Homelessness:<ul><li>Demand accountability for every dollar spent&nbsp;— ensuring homelessness funding is used effectively, with a focus on getting people off our streets and into services and stable housing.</li><li>Support proven, local solutions&nbsp;— like Redondo Beach's care court and transitional housing program, which successfully helped people with mental illness get off the streets and into the treatment they need.</li><li>Strengthen coordination&nbsp;between the County and local cities so resources reach the people and communities that need them most.</li><li>Track results, not just spending&nbsp;— rigorously collecting and reviewing data so we can measure what's working, make adjustments, and help as many people as possible.</li></ul>

Preserving these natural spaces isn't a policy position for him — it's personal. He wants to ensure that kids growing up along the Los Angeles County coastline can experience its natural beauty for generations to come.And he's put that commitment into action. As a Rancho Palos Verdes City Councilmember, he brought stakeholders together to conserve 96 acres of coastal land for the Palos Verdes Preserve — expanding critical habitat protection while removing dangerous brush that posed fire hazards to surrounding neighborhoods. Eric championed cutting-edge Pano AI camera technology to detect fires early and alert first responders before small blazes become catastrophic.The Challenge:Our region's quality of life is increasingly under threat. Wildfires, landslides, and coastal erosion aren't distant risks — they're realities families across our district are living with right now.The devastating fires that struck the Pacific Palisades and Malibu communities were a stark reminder of our growing vulnerability — fueled by prolonged drought, extreme heat, and powerful Santa Ana winds. The resulting smoke blanketed our region, with air quality reaching dangerous levels that affected families across the South Bay and Westside — PM2.5 concentrations spiking to levels more than 36 times above the World Health Organization’s recommended safe limit. (<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/74/wr/mm7405a4.htm?s_cid=mm7405a4_w">cite</a>) (<a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/what-are-the-who-air-quality-guidelines">cite</a>)Our coastline faces equally serious challenges. Rising sea levels and coastal erosion threatens to <a href="https://www.climateassessment.ca.gov/state/overview/">eliminate up to 67% of Southern California beaches</a> by the end of the century.We need leaders who will act now — not with more studies and reports, but with real investment in resilient communities that protect both our economy and our way of life.How Eric will lead:Eric doesn't believe climate policy should be about ideology — it should be about protecting families and preserving the quality of life that makes Southern California special. As State Senator, he'll bring the same results-driven approach that worked in Rancho Palos Verdes:<ul><li>Help Palisades fire communities recover and rebuild&nbsp;— securing the necessary funding and assistance from Sacramento and Washington so no family faces this alone.</li><li>Expand wildfire prevention and early detection&nbsp;— building on the $170 million recently allocated for early action wildfire response, and scaling the kind of AI fire detection systems and brush removal programs he implemented in Rancho Palos Verdes.</li><li>Support small businesses in going green&nbsp;— helping businesses adopt environmentally friendly practices that reduce both operational costs and emissions, drawing from his own experience as a small business owner.</li><li>Preserve and expand green spaces&nbsp;— protecting Southern California's natural beauty while providing families with outdoor recreation, like the 96-acre coastal preserve expansion he led.</li><li>Invest in renewable energy and good jobs&nbsp;— expediting solar and wind infrastructure while creating good-paying careers that meet our state's energy goals.</li><li>Make clean transportation accessible&nbsp;— making electric vehicles and charging stations more affordable for working families, and improving transit and bike infrastructure to give families real choices.</li><li>Protect our coastline for future generations&nbsp;— expanding conservation efforts, investing in natural barriers against storm surge, and ensuring our beaches remain accessible to families for generations to come.</li></ul>
