Are you in support of declaring Pride Proclamations and raising the Pride flag during June in your City once elected?
Yes, under my leadership VUSD has raised the LGBTQ Flag and will continue to do so.
In the past few years, books that inform youth in their appropriate age around race, gender, and history of Civil Rights have been banned, censured, and scrutinized. Do you support our librarians to continue the valuable education they provide our community and reject the notion of book banning?
Yes, I was proud to work on legislation to recognize banned book week at the County of San Diego Libraries. As an education advocate, I stand for people’s freedom to read.
In California, outing an LGBTQI+ student to their parents is against the law as passed in July 2024, effective in January 2025. Would you advocate for a school district to uphold California law AB 1955: The SAFETY Act to protect the safety and privacy of our LGBTQI+ youth?
Yes, in VUSD we follow state guidelines and rules. It is important for us to provide safe learning environments and ensure our students are free to do so.
Gender Affirming Care is the science that support transgender people in their journey of self-determination. However, because of false and hateful narratives, Gender Affirming Care has been under attack in many states and even in our region. Would you advocate for our transgender students/families and in favor of Gender Affirming Care to ensure that mental health and clinical services continue to be offered to everyone?
Yes
