AYANNA'S PRIORITIES
Creating Good-Paying Jobs
Improving the quality of life for working families in California is a cornerstone of my platform. As the cost of living continues to skyrocket while wages remain stagnant, we need to do more to ensure that working families don’t just get by – but thrive. As the daughter of union members– and a longtime union member myself – I understand the importance of uplifting our workers to ensure they are treated with the dignity they deserve. In the Assembly, I’ll fight to raise wages, improve workplace protections, and expand healthcare and retirement benefits for the workers in our state. Furthermore, I will be an advocate for small businesses to be included in the economic opportunities that government contracting provides throughout our communities.
