This is a resounding win for Prop 13 protection, affirming our shared commitment to safeguarding homeowners against rising taxes. With inflation at an all-time high, we must take immediate, decisive action to slash property taxes through voter-approved Prop 8 and protect our families, seniors, and veterans from rising costs.”

– Real Action for Veterans, Seniors, and Working Families: Deliver meaningful relief by directly addressing the needs of veterans, seniors, and working families in our community.
– Direct Community Engagement: Meet with residents across neighborhoods, listening to their concerns and making their priorities the focus of our fight for tax relief.”
