Mayor LILY MEI on the Issues
Homelessness
“As Fremont’s Mayor, I successfully fought for a state of the art Homeless Navigation Center and mobile hygiene service providing our most vulnerable residents with compassionate transitional housing, food, job placement and mental health services. As State Senator, my top priority is to build on this successful model to address our regional and state crisis.”
Housing & Jobs
“Every family deserves a good job and affordable home! Under my leadership, Fremont has consistently exceeded our affordable housing goals and created union jobs. I’ll continue the fight to reduce income inequality, address skyrocketing home prices, and expand affordable housing and job opportunities for all Californians.”
Wildfire Preparedness & Climate Change
“I support aggressive action to fight climate change and reduce fire risks. As State Senator, I will fund year-round investment in wildfire prevention, forest, and vegetation management to protect California’s homes, businesses, and environment.”
Great Public Schools
“I began my activism as a working Mom of two kids in our local public schools. As a School Board member, I championed safe, healthy schools and worked to secure millions to upgrade our classrooms. I’ll fund pre-K for low-income students, programs that reduce drop-out rates, and tuition-free college.”
Social Justice, Equity and Representation
“Safe, welcoming communities embrace our diversity. I’ll stand up for immigrants and communities of color, support LGBTQ civil rights, and a woman’s right to choose. There are currently no AAPI women serving in the State Senate—join me!”
Public Safety
“Unfortunately, many of our seniors, small businessowners, and the AAPI community feel targeted by violent attacks. I’ll ensure our communities have the resources necessary to fully investigate, solve and prevent these crimes.”
