What are aspects of your platform? I’m not in your district so I cannot vote for you, but as a fellow vet (Army Infantry) I’m curious to what you wish to do with your platform.

My immediate concerns are clean water, which some in my district have not had for over 10 years and drought solutions. Ending homelessness, improving wages, health coverage 4 all, and improved education system just to name a few overarching goals.

Very good issues to tackle. Access to clean water is still overlooked and assumed to be universal by some. I’ve been watching the escalating reports of the drought situations out west, and it troubles me. Do you consider bottled water to be a factor in this?

This last decade we had more drought years than not and a 3 year period was the worst in over 1k years. I haven't even thought of water bottles that would be interesting to look into. Cali produces 2/3 fruits and 1/3 of all the country's veggies. We need to act b4 it's too late.

I haven’t personally witnessed reports involving produce production being implicated, but I wouldn’t doubt it. The reason I believe about water exportation being a leading culprit is that it is equally as recent as the consequences of drought.

That is... most unfortunate. This is the first I’ve seen of this news.
