On Our Side in the Assembly
LaShae knows too many families are priced out of homeownership in their own communities. That's why she's fighting in the Assembly to make housing more affordable, ensure every child has access to a quality education, expand access to healthcare and mental healthcare, and protect a clean, healthy environment for all of us.
Since taking office, LaShae has introduced 35 bills to improve Californians’ lives, including legislation to:
Expand CalWORKs and CalFresh to lift more families out of poverty
End an outdated CalWORKs rule that penalizes working parents and their children
Safeguard workers from unsafe work conditions
Crack down on unreasonable and punitive towing fees
Speed up access to affordable housing in San Diego County by requiring SDG&E to end utility hookup delays
Protect DEIAA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Anti-Racism) programs
Increase funding for Parkinson’s research
Stop the sale and manufacturing of food packaging with chemicals that increase the risk of breast cancer
Ensure patients are notified quickly when their health coverage changes through modern communication methods, not just by mail
Reform the unfair “three strikes” law and increase support for victims of crimes
Invest in community programs to end the school to prison pipeline
Strengthen consumer safety in cannabis product testing
Improve transparency and bring more accountability to law enforcement
Create alternatives to jail for low-level, nonviolent theft offenses
Give local Offices of Education more resources to increase transparency
Make it easier to certify language teachers, so more students have access to dual-language programs
Better support students with disabilities
Provide relief for families struggling with child support debt
