OUR PLATFORM

The High Desert Climate presents many unique challenges in this era of rapid climate change. We have a unique biodiversity of animals and plants that have adapted to living at the threshold of survival with extreme heat and limited water resources. We also have the same challenges for human populations living in the Desert Southwest, as we are likely to experience less snowfall in our mountains leading to less opportunity to replenish our natural aquifers. One of the greatest challenges is to ensure that we do not use more water than is safe to ensure replenishment, something that has happened in many areas of the southwest, with disastrous consequences for natural water resources. Furthermore any infrastructure investments must maximize protections for our native species.I am enthused that our local area has taken steps to build out water reclamation projects such as the Santa Ana River Enhanced Recharge Phase 1B, a project decades in the making and requiring compromise from business interests and environmental and habitat concerns. Any future plans to address water management must put habitat preservation for our local endangered desert species as the highest priority.Given that our area will become hotter and drier, we will need to contend with not only potential water shortages but also increased wildfires and increased energy use as growing human populations will rely more heavily on air conditioning.To address such energy needs, I am proposing that we consider designing and constructing an “energy corridor” that would run from approximately Victorville through Barstow and out to Las Vegas (an area that is essentially part of our own high desert community.)This energy corridor would first and foremost construct a solar panel highway along I-15. This has <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-05-16/la-ed-solar-highways-parking-lots">already been proposed</a> by State Senator Josh Becker and I believe this district would benefit greatly from using the existing interstate pathway. This will require investment in green energy jobs at a living wage for our local residents. Solar panel technology has made remarkable strides in efficiency and affordability over the last decade and we should be jumping at the opportunity.Along with the production of energy in this highway corridor, we must also invest in battery storage options. Current battery storage technology is improving, but is still not ideal and we must increase investment as a nation in research and development for energy storage systems. While private investment is doing some of this research, we also have some of the best minds at work on the US Department of Energy’s Energy Storage Grand Challenge, particularly at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratories. I will fully support the investments needed to find the breakthrough science and technology to meet our vital energy storage needs that will be critical to our area.One of the best ways to reduce energy consumption (particularly fossil fuels) is through an efficient and effective mass transportation system. This means investments in local electric bus infrastructure, and commuter rail options for longer distances. While many tout high speed rail investments as critical - and they are - fairly little attention is given to local commuter rail. High speed rail is typically focused on very long (continental) distances, and while important, will not solve our local needs. Furthermore, due to price fixing on cargo rail, it is also underused for local goods transportation. We can implement cost controls on cargo rail to ensure that we can reduce the impacts of trucking pollution, and we can build commuter rail options that will efficiently transport passengers from San Bernardino to Victorville and Barstow and on to Las Vegas. Commuter rail absolutely must be bolstered by effective local mass transit. The goal should be to provide residents with cheaper options for transportation than personal vehicles. If it’s not cheaper and it’s not efficient for them, they won’t be interested.&nbsp; This will also bring substantial benefits to economically disadvantaged communities who currently suffer the high cost of personal transportation that limits their opportunities for upward mobility. Mass transit benefits everyone.All of these projects will bring many sustainable high paying union jobs and address our part in the climate change equation. I will work with businesses, unions, conservationists, and Tribal leadership to build renewable energy projects and fast commuter rail along the I-15 corridor<h2>While in Congress, I will work to:</h2><ul><li>Expand investments to reach 100 percent renewable energy and dramatically reduce CO2 (carbon) emissions by 2035 or earlier.</li><li>Reinstate and expand energy and mileage efficiency investments.&nbsp;</li><li>Transition away from fossil fuel energy and halt all new fossil fuel projects. We must eliminate all fossil fuel subsidies and transfer those funds into climate investments by the federal government, and invest in wind,solar, geothermal, tidal, and other sustainable, renewable energy.</li><li>Restart the Clean Power Plan to protect our health and clean air, while rapidly phasing out coal and support a commission tasked with expediting timelines for shutting down all coal plants.</li><li>Decarbonize all existing buildings by 2045.&nbsp;</li><li>Decarbonize all federally-owned buildings by 2030.</li><li>Require each industrial corporation to commit to a series of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Targets phasing down in half by 2030 and to 0% emissions by 2045.</li><li>Ban all fracking operations (oil and gas), while ensuring “just transition” principles.</li><li>Stop the spread of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) by banning new LNG permits and infrastructure and end the use of long-term LNG projects for diplomatic support.</li><li>End all new oil and gas leases in federal lands and waters. Plan the phaseout of existing oil and gas leases on federal lands.</li><li>Secure further investment in Nuclear Fusion technology as a potentially clean and safe alternative to meet nuclear energy.</li><li>Ban concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and address emotions and other pollution caused by huge agribusinesses.</li><li>Ensure that workers currently working in the fossil fuel industries be accepted first in new job training programs for renewable energy industries and the building renovation industry.</li><li>Work with universities, community colleges, and trade schools to develop education programs to help bring in people for the new industries and&nbsp;</li><li>Phase out the sales of new fossil-fuel vehicles by 2035 and accelerate the production of Electric Vehicles, including charging infrastructure.</li><li>Set standards so that heavy-duty trucks either use electricity or more sustainable bio-fuels by 2035.</li><li>Require electrification of all railways by 2040, both passenger and freight.</li><li>Establish a federal high speed rail program at the FTA.</li><li>Increase the budget of the Federal Transit Administration to expand investments in electric bus rapid transit and light rail transit systems.</li><li>Deploy federal transportation funds to fully empower our cities’ public mass transit systems and walkable and bikeable communities.</li><li>Ensure railroad safety to prevent environmental disasters.&nbsp;</li><li>Make carbon fees-mandatory, which will help achieve further reductions in emissions AND protect lower income communities and those who have the least protection against climate impacts.</li><li>Restore our forests and oceans and promote sustainable agricultural and ranching practices.</li><li>Ensure that the Environmental Protection Agency is fully funded, staffed and protected from any corporate assault through the courts or Congress</li><li>Integrate climate preparedness into the nation’s emergency preparedness, and into our health plans, infrastructure plans, and homeland security plans.</li><li>Ensure Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) for Indigenous peoples in &nbsp;</li><li>End the loopholes in the Paris and COP agreements that allow the U.S. government to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.pbs.org/wnet/peril-and-promise/2022/01/militaries-produce-6-of-ghgs-but-theyre-not-required-to-report-it/">not report</a> military emissions.</li><li>Ensure that the U.S. military meets the same emission’s reduction standards as any other section, which is to cut emissions in half by 2030, and fully by 2045.</li><li>End our reliance on oil, because it perpetuates our dependence on energy supplies from other countries, particularly in the Middle East.</li></ul>

The High Desert Climate presents many unique challenges in this era of rapid climate change. We must have climate justice through a Marshall Plan for the desert.

Climate Justice

<h4>Today, the plight of over 30 million Americans without health insurance and the struggles of countless more who are underinsured ignite a passionate call for change.</h4>Even among the insured, the soaring costs are a harsh reality, cruelly pushing medical bills to the forefront as the leading cause of bankruptcy in our nation. Astonishingly, our nation's GDP pours into a healthcare system that remains inadequate, vastly outspending other major countries per capita. Yet, despite these colossal expenditures, our health outcomes pale in comparison, and our infant mortality rate stubbornly remains high—a stark contrast to nations spending far less on healthcare. This injustice compels us to demand a brighter future.Our focus should be on investing in the true heroes: the doctors, nurses, mental health specialists, dentists, and dedicated professionals who breathe life into our communities. Let's channel our resources into pioneering drugs, groundbreaking technologies that conquer diseases and alleviate suffering. Let's redirect our funds away from the pockets of profiteers, from the staggering executive paychecks, and from the nonsensical administrative expenditures that drain hundreds of billions annually. Our people, the heart and soul of this nation, deserve nothing short of a transformative and compassionate healthcare system that stands as a testament to our commitment to their well-being.<h2>When I am in Congress, I will:</h2><ul><li>Align with global norms by establishing healthcare as a fundamental right of U.S. residents through a Medicare-for-all, single-payer initiative, aligning the U.S. with leading nations.</li><li>The Medicare for All Act of 2021 (HR 1976) comprehensive medical coverage, including dental, vision, pharmaceuticals, mental health care, and long-term care, while ending unaffordable co-pays, premiums, and deductibles.</li><li>Enforce the Disability Integration Act for community-based care and affordable, integrated housing, to avoid institutionalization.</li><li>Direct government action to establish clinics, centers, and hospitals in underserved regions, bridging healthcare gaps.</li><li>Work to cancel all medical debts, addressing a pervasive healthcare issue.</li></ul>In the absence of a Medicare For All bill that will address these issues, I will:<ul><li>Defend the right to abortion care.</li><li>Streamline healthcare by eliminating complexities like networks, premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and unexpected bills.</li><li>Support collaborative efforts to address the pharmaceutical and health insurance industries' profit prioritization over well-being.</li><li>Mitigate prescription drug costs through the following strategies:</li><li>Enable Medicare to negotiate prices via the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Act.</li><li>Cap insulin price at $20 per vial.</li><li>Facilitate importation of cost-effective drugs through the Affordable and Safe Prescription Drug Importation Act.</li><li>Reduce drug costs by 50% with the Prescription Drug Price Relief Act based on benchmark rates from Canada, UK, France, Germany, and Japan.</li><li>Address rural medical personnel shortage by funding Community Health Centers.</li><li>Ensure debt-free education for doctors with tuition-free colleges and universities.</li><li>Expand Telehealth accessibility to counter geographic isolation and enable remote primary care access.</li><li>Utilize Telehealth to treat opioid use disorder, enhancing access to addiction specialists.</li></ul>

Derek believes that healthcare is a human right. He's committed to fighting for a Medicare for All system that includes coverage for primary care, mental health, dental, vision, and more.

Education for All

To ensure a just and equal future, we must focus on women's reproductive rights and comprehensive gender justice. We will fortify the foundation of reproductive rights, including turning Roe v. Wade into a federal law. Our commitment extends to access – enhancing healthcare options, promoting contraception resources, and removing funding restrictions. We stand against targeted restrictions and push for transparent funding allocation. Prioritizing reproductive justice, we'll address disparities like the Black Maternal Mortality Crisis. We'll secure clinic access, confidentiality, and safety, countering violence against providers and patients. Additionally, we'll promote education, combat misinformation, and strive for gender equality. Furthermore, broader gender justice calls for pay equity, stronger protections against violence, and rights for survivors. Universal childcare, paid family leave, and education equity are vital. It's time for comprehensive change that leaves no one behind.<h2>When I am in Congress, I will:</h2><ul><li>Champion Medicare For All, which will codify Reproductive Rights</li></ul>*indicates will be resolved through Medicare For All<ul><li>Uphold Reproductive Rights&nbsp; </li><li>Transform Roe v.

Reproductive Justice

It's time to stand shoulder to shoulder with our Union siblings, resolute in our commitment to ensure that every worker lives a life of dignity.We must champion the right to unionize without fear of penalty, and unequivocally affirm that every individual deserves a wage that reflects their worth and working conditions that uphold their humanity. The battle for fair treatment, just compensation, and dignified workplaces is not just a fight for workers' rights – it's a fight for justice, equality, and the very essence of our collective progress. Let our unity be the driving force that dismantles inequality, paves the way for solidarity, and reshapes the future of work into a beacon of dignity and justice for all.<h2>When I am in Congress, I will champion:</h2><ul><li>Passing the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act) (HR 842). </li><li>Expanding the right to form a union to include domestic, agricultural, and so-called “gig” workers. </li><li>Strengthening Social Security by removing the artificial cap on the Social Security tax and having the wealthy pay the same rate as everyone else, lowering the full retirement age to 62, and significantly expanding benefits. </li><li>Creating a National Solidarity Fund, funded by a 1 cent ($0.01) per worker-hour tax, paying stipends to workers who are striking or locked out. </li><li>Worker representation on corporate boards (co-determination). </li><li>Passing the RUN Act, providing training and administrative resources for new unionization efforts, subsidizing union dues 100%, extending federal unemployment benefits to striking workers, guaranteeing the right for all public employees to collectively bargain, requiring all businesses above 20 employees a quarterly vote on unionization, and requiring all businesses below 20 employees to pay them no less than 2/3rds of total profits in bonuses and dividends. </li><li>Repealing the Taft-Hartley Act and ending the "right to work for less". </li><li>A jobs guarantee to end unemployment. </li><li>Increase federal support for establishing worker co-ops. </li><li>A $20 minimum wage, indexed to cost inflation and productivity growth, whichever is higher. </li><li>Utilizing civil asset forfeiture against all companies guilty of violating worker's right to unionize and other workplace protections, and transferring full ownership of the offending company to the workers of that company. </li><li>Allowing 3 weeks of paid sick leave, and 8 weeks of paid vacation per year, and 1-year parental leave for all new parents. </li><li>The end of “at-will“ employment by requiring just cause to terminate employment. </li><li>Guaranteeing necessities of life and basic human rights for all including food, water, healthcare, housing, education, and a livable environment.</li></ul>Additionally to assist the working and middle classes, I will seek to:<ul><li>Create a tax system where the super-rich and corporations pay their fair share and working-class people see relief from our regressive tax system. </li><li>Implement public postal banking. </li><li>Cap interest rates on all loans and credit cards at 10 percent.</li></ul>

We must champion the right to unionize without fear of penalty, and unequivocally affirm that every individual deserves a wage that reflects their worth and working conditions that uphold their humanity.

Union Power

In a time when our LGBTQIA+ community is facing unprecedented challenges, we must rise as fierce advocates of love, equality, and acceptance. It's abhorrent that over 400 bills and legislations against LGBTQIA+ rights have been introduced by politicians. But let’s remember that adversity has never stopped us from forging progress. Each hateful bill only ignites our passion to protect, uplift, and celebrate our disenfranchised communities. Let's stand united against discrimination, rewriting this narrative with the ink of unity and strength. Together, we'll not just weather this storm, but we'll emerge as a radiant rainbow of resilience, proving that love will always conquer hate.<h2>When I’m in Congress, in my unwavering commitment to equality and justice, I will support:</h2><ul><li>The Equality Act, the PRIDE Act, the Every Child Deserves a Family Act, and other bills that forbid discrimination by the United States (including the military), any state or local government, and private industry. </li><li>Legislation to develop and implement LGBTQIA+ inclusive public education, combating bullying and promoting acceptance, recognizing that anti-LGBTQIA+ bullying in school can quadruple the likelihood of suicide. </li><li>LGBTQIA+ history integration into school curricula to counter the deliberate erasure of the community's rich heritage. </li><li>Legislation to prohibit “conversion therapy”, a harmful practice attempting to change orientation and identity. </li><li>De-gendering public documents, federally, and all school dress codes, while guaranteeing protection from gender-normative discrimination in workplaces. </li><li>Legislation mandating fairer interactions between law enforcement and transgender individuals, particularly transgender women of color, who are often unjustly targeted. </li><li>The PrEP Access and Coverage Act, ensuring that all private and public insurance covers HIV prevention medication and related services with no out-of-pocket costs. </li><li>Community Training to ensure that all school community members foster an environment that welcomes every student. </li><li>Providing community spaces, GSA's, and LGBTQIA+-specific school counseling to support LGBTQIA+ students. </li><li>Homelessness relief programs specifically tailored to LGBTQIA+ youth, addressing their disproportionate representation in unsheltered populations. </li><li>Removing punitive requirements for legal name changes and establishing fee waivers for ID replacement due to a legal name change. </li><li>Declaring trans murder and suicide rates a national emergency. </li><li>Both the original Equal Rights Amendment and the Amendment for Constitutional Equality, reinforcing protections for marginalized groups in the U.S. Constitution. </li><li>Prohibiting insurance companies from labeling trans affirming procedures as “not medically necessary” or “cosmetic” until a trans-inclusive Medicare for All program is established. </li><li>Removing “transmedicalist” language from all education materials relating to trans individuals. </li><li>Legislation specifically prohibiting mutilative surgeries on intersex infants. </li><li>Legislation ensuring fair interactions between police and transgender individuals and ending “gay panic” and “trans panic” defenses in violent crimes. </li><li>Ending misgendered imprisonment, recognizing it as cruel and unusual punishment that must cease nationwide. </li><li>Preventing and repealing any legislation or policy that claims to “protect” religious liberty at the expense of the rights of others.</li></ul>

I'm running for the people of California's 23rd District — for the struggling families, the marginalized communities, and for those who feel left behind by a system that often prioritizes profit over people. Together, we can build a system that works for us all, and I'm committed to fighting with everything I've got to make that vision a reality.
