ADA SoCal Endorses Hilda Solis, U.S. Congress District 38

The working people of Southern California are under assault by the Trump Administration – and I won’t just stand by and let it happen. As the President attacks workers, immigrants, educators, housing that working people can afford, women’s reproductive rights, veterans’ services, labor unions, the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid/Medi-Cal – and democracy itself – we must fight back.

I’ve been standing up for the people – and against Trump – as a Supervisor, and now it’s time to campaign for the House and fight for the people and democracy in the Congress.

I wish Proposition 50 wasn’t necessary – but Trump and his allies in Texas and elsewhere are undermining our democracy. We must fight fire with fire, because too much is at stake.

Thank you for your support!

Her legislative work has helped create more affordable housing across California and advanced policies to support vulnerable populations, including individuals experiencing severe mental illness and homelessness.

In Congress, Laura is focused on advancing bold national solutions—expanding access to affordable housing, supporting universal healthcare and childcare, strengthening economic security for families, and protecting democratic institutions. She continues to be a strong advocate for progressive values and for policies that ensure every family has the opportunity to thrive.

ADA SoCal Endorses Frances Yasmeen Motiwalla, U.S. Congress District 52

Criminal Justice / Public Safety

I will lead the charge on eliminating private prisons, mass incarceration, cash bail, and the death penalty, and replace these pernicious policies with rehabilitation programs for inmates, re-entry support for transitioning convicts, and community outreach initiatives to engage at-risk youth.

Education

To correct this, I will put my efforts towards eliminating student debt, supporting free public college, creating programs that provide financial aid to students wishing to attend private college in exchange for civil service, and diverting federal funds to close the teacher pay gap. I will also advocate for federal trade skill programs, stronger K-12 curriculums, and increased federal funding for academic research.

Housing

I strongly support Medicare-for-All and will tackle the racial and gender disparities that plague our healthcare system. I also support the Rent Relief Act and plan to increase tenant protections, incentivize affordable housing construction, and work with experts on long-term solutions to the homelessness crisis.
