From lowering costs for families to protecting reproductive freedom and expanding access to healthcare, Lauren is ready to fight for the policies that put people and families first.
Lowering Costs
We need to ease the everyday costs that families face: from healthcare and housing to food and education. Lauren will prevent price gouging on groceries and essential goods. She'll expand programs to help first-time homebuyers and strengthen renter protections. She also supports student loan debt relief. She’ll work to create jobs and drive economic growth, helping families get ahead.
Access to Healthcare
Everyone deserves access to affordable, high-quality care. Health care works best when everyone is covered and no one has to choose between seeing a doctor and paying rent. When we have Health Care for All, we cut waste, prevent expensive emergencies, and use our collective buying power to bring down prices. Lauren will work to lower prescription drug costs, protect and expand Medicare, and restore funding for programs that serve vulnerable families—paid for by taxes on corporations. She’ll also fight to restore funding for Planned Parenthood and protect reproductive freedom. Lauren will work towards universal healthcare as a north star.
As a working mom, Lauren understands how vital affordable childcare and eldercare are for families. She’ll champion a national paid Family and Medical Leave program, expand the Child Tax Credit, and invest in universal childcare, Head Start, and Pre-K. Lauren will also work to raise pay and improve conditions for care workers and ensure seniors have access to quality home care services.
Every family deserves to feel safe. Lauren will work to pass universal background checks, reinstate the federal assault weapons ban, and prevent gun access for individuals with violent histories. She’ll expand federal support for community violence intervention, crisis response, and mental health programs to keep Sacramento area families safe.
Supporting Our Seniors
Lauren will protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare so seniors can live with dignity. She supports expanding Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing care, and increasing Social Security benefits for low-income seniors. Seniors should not have to struggle to afford basic care.
