I'm a Democrat running for our State Assembly District 14 because I object to the state housing laws that Assembly member Buffy Wicks, votes for.  

 

We need housing for everyone, not just the rich. I will work to legislate housing for veterans, us elders on Social Security, teachers, students, families, people who want to live near their work. 

 

I care that people travel long distances from home to work, couch surf, live in cars, camp on the street. We need housing for everyone, not just the rich 

 

How do I differ from State Assemblymember Buffy Wicks? 

 

Margot: We need low cost housing for families, workers, elders. 

Buffy: Voted housing for the rich, developers give her money.  

 

Margot: Pass Health Care for All, California must lead the way. 

Buffy: Killed Health Care for All in committee.  

 

Margot: Supports environmental laws; we must protect the planet. 

Buffy: Bypass environmental laws to speed development.  

 

Margot: Fund public schools; small classes, safe schools. 

Buffy: Supports Charter Schools with less for public schools. 

 

Margot: Respect local lawmakers, our elected city councils. 

Buffy: Lets developers bypass city councils, build anywhere.  

 

Margot: Protect local newspapers, local reporters. 

Buffy: Let Google, Yahoo and Meta give us the news.

As a Doctor of Public Health from UC Berkeley I worked for decades as a research social scientist for the California State Health Department in mental health, environmental health and access to health care. At Stanford researched rural health care, at UC Davis, health planning. After retirement, I produced political videos. I'm running for office to work on creating better lives, housing and health care for all Californians. I was born in San Francisco and live in Berkeley. I have children and grandchildren. I care about their futures.
