Economy and Taxes
Orange County families are feeling the squeeze of rising prices, which is why we must address inflation, lower costs, and reform the tax code so Orange County families finally get the relief they deserve.

Healthcare
The high price of health care means many California families are an accident or illness away from serious financial pain, or even bankruptcy.

Zero Tolerance for Corruption
Katie has never taken a dime of corporate PAC money. Katie puts Orange County families first, not powerful special interests. She refuses donations from those who work for Big Banks, Big Oil, and Big Pharma because our democracy should work for everyone, not just the powerful and well-connected.

Women's Health
Politicians shouldn’t interfere in a person’s health decisions. Katie has stood up to efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, restrict access to birth control, and ban the right to a safe and legal abortion, and is the proud co-sponsor of mulitple bills that would expand access to reproductive healthcare.

Environment
We need to stand up to Big Oil companies to prevent offshore drilling and protect our beautiful California coastline. Here in Orange County, we’ve seen what failing to protect our environment looks like: Oil leaks that close our beaches and shutter local businesses, and deadly wildfires that destroy homes and pollute our air.

Common Sense Gun Reform
As a parent of school aged kids, Katie’s had enough of politicians who are too afraid to stand up to the gun lobby.

Paid Family Leave
Katie understands the numerous challenges facing Orange County households. Being able to take time off of work to care for your loved ones–whether that’s a new child or an elderly parent–should not be one of those challenges. Katie has advocated and will continue to fight for a federal paid leave program that guarantees workers the ability to take paid leave when they need it.

Veterans
Our veterans make immense sacrifices to serve this country, and we must honor their service with more than words. That’s why Katie has passed legislation to fund the fight to end veteran homelessness, assist veterans in crisis, and connect veterans with good-paying jobs in the clean energy industry through a bipartisan bill to help veteran-owned small businesses rebuild our infrastructure.

Immigration
Katie hears from Orange County families that they want an immigration system that is lawful and orderly. Without a fair pathway to citizenship for those who are undocumented and timely adjudication of lawful asylum claims, we weaken the security of our borders and our rule of law.

Housing
Prior to being elected to Congress, Katie spent her career helping families stay in their homes by combating fraudulent lending practices. She’s a strong advocate for using our tax code to encourage home ownership, and supports investments in programs that help first-time home buyers.

Seniors
Seniors are an important part of our community, and everybody should have the ability to retire with dignity. Katie will always protect Social Security and fight to expand benefits.

Katie will always prioritize the safety of Orange County families. She knows from personal experience how trained and professional law enforcement can help families get the help they need, and she is committed to supporting the first responders who put their lives on the line to keep us safe.
