Our Platform
Our vision for change
01 — Addressing the housing affordability crisis:
Omar’s top priority in the Assembly will be lowering housing costs and clear onerous red tape and regulations to build more housing in a smart, responsible way. It’s unacceptable that young people who grew up in the South Bay can’t afford to continue living here, and even two small business owners like my parents can’t purchase a home in the community they work in. On the Sunnyvale City Council, Omar championed the Moffett Park Specific Plan, a modern community with 20,000 new residential units – including 3,000 affordable units – along transit corridors. Our state leaders need to prioritize more projects like these to ease our region’s housing affordability crisis.
02 — Supporting families:
Caring for our youngest residents and seniors is harder and harder in the age of online scams and rising costs. As Omar’s immigrant parents reach retirement age, he will be a leader in the Assembly to fight for more state funding for child care and elder care, stronger consumer protections against scammers trying to deceive our parents and children, and a dignified retirement for all South Bay residents.
03 — supporting small businesses
There are 4.2 million small businesses in California, which employ nearly half of our state’s workers. Omar personally knows the challenges that these mom-and-pop businesses face – he hears from both of his parents who are small business owners and from dozens of small business owners he’s worked with in his three years on the Sunnyvale City Council. California needs to make it easier to start and sustain businesses throughout our communities.
04 — Green infrastructure:
While we build for the future, it’s essential we do so in an environmentally sustainable way so we have a planet we can hand off to generations to come. In Sunnyvale, Omar has led on expanding bike lanes and building electric vehicle charging stations so residents can move around in a clean, green way. This work needs to be expanded throughout the South Bay so we can continue moving California toward a carbon neutral economy in the next decade.
