A few ways to combat inflation are to oppose new federal spending, stand up to higher tax increases and regulations that will drive up the cost of living on everyday goods and services, and streamline burdensome regulations that can stifle economic growth and increase production costs. This also includes eliminating excessive regulations as it relates to new home construction.<\/span><\/p>\n                                                        <div id=\"vg-read-more-btn\" class=\"vg-read-more-btn candidate-name\">\n                                                            <span class=\"vg-btn-text\">Read More<\/span>\n                                                            <svg class=\"arrow-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10\" height=\"7\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 7\" fill=\"none\">\n                                                                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0.34997 0.851604C0.125755 1.07832 0 1.38432 0 1.70318C0 2.02205 0.125755 2.32805 0.34997 2.55476L3.87752 6.11352C4.13917 6.37157 4.47765 6.5 4.81252 6.5C5.14739 6.5 5.47986 6.37157 5.73551 6.11352L9.25226 2.56677C9.47618 2.3399 9.60174 2.03396 9.60174 1.71519C9.60174 1.39642 9.47618 1.07847 9.25226 0.851604C9.14204 0.739759 9.01068 0.662945 8.86582 0.602323C8.72097 0.5417 8.56551 0.510482 8.40848 0.510482C8.25145 0.510482 8.09599 0.5417 7.95113 0.602323C7.80628 0.662945 7.67492 0.751761 7.5647 0.863607L4.80652 3.6446L2.03753 0.851604C1.92706 0.740195 1.79562 0.651765 1.6508 0.591418C1.50598 0.53107 1.35064 0.5 1.19375 0.5C1.03686 0.5 0.881518 0.53107 0.736697 0.591418C0.591875 0.651765 0.460438 0.740195 0.34997 0.851604Z\" fill=\"#212121\"\/>\n                                                            <\/svg>\n                                                        <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/section>\n                                                                                            <section class=\"\">\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-container--office\">\n                                                        <h3 class=\"candidate-name cm-cta-remove-margins e2024-party-indicator dem\">Adam Schiff:<\/h3>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-response-container matrix-response-container\">\n                                                        <p id=\"vg-matrix-response\" class=\"vg-matrix-response matrix-response-text-truncate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, we must attack the increased cost of goods in each sector of our economy by addressing scarcity: Dramatically expanding our supply of affordable housing by increasing housing federal investments and tax credits, boosting the production of renewable sources of energy, expanding the number of healthcare professionals, and increasing the supply of affordable childcare. Second, we need to increase competition. Increased antitrust enforcement against consolidation will help bring prices down. Third, we must lower the costs of medicine by letting the government negotiate the prices of all prescription drugs, allowing the reimportation of prescription medication, and passing Medicare for All. <\/span><\/p>\n                                                        <div id=\"vg-read-more-btn\" class=\"vg-read-more-btn candidate-name\">\n                                                            <span class=\"vg-btn-text\">Read More<\/span>\n                                                            <svg class=\"arrow-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10\" height=\"7\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 7\" fill=\"none\">\n                                                                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0.34997 0.851604C0.125755 1.07832 0 1.38432 0 1.70318C0 2.02205 0.125755 2.32805 0.34997 2.55476L3.87752 6.11352C4.13917 6.37157 4.47765 6.5 4.81252 6.5C5.14739 6.5 5.47986 6.37157 5.73551 6.11352L9.25226 2.56677C9.47618 2.3399 9.60174 2.03396 9.60174 1.71519C9.60174 1.39642 9.47618 1.07847 9.25226 0.851604C9.14204 0.739759 9.01068 0.662945 8.86582 0.602323C8.72097 0.5417 8.56551 0.510482 8.40848 0.510482C8.25145 0.510482 8.09599 0.5417 7.95113 0.602323C7.80628 0.662945 7.67492 0.751761 7.5647 0.863607L4.80652 3.6446L2.03753 0.851604C1.92706 0.740195 1.79562 0.651765 1.6508 0.591418C1.50598 0.53107 1.35064 0.5 1.19375 0.5C1.03686 0.5 0.881518 0.53107 0.736697 0.591418C0.591875 0.651765 0.460438 0.740195 0.34997 0.851604Z\" fill=\"#212121\"\/>\n                                                            <\/svg>\n                                                        <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/section>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issues-container--office\">\n                                        <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-question-container--office\">\n                                            <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-question\">\n                                                <h3>How do you define \u201cgood-paying jobs,\u201d and what three specific actions will you take in the Senate to bring those jobs to California?<\/h3>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-container\">\n                                                                                            <section class=\"\">\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-container--office\">\n                                                        <h3 class=\"candidate-name cm-cta-remove-margins e2024-party-indicator rep\">Steve Garvey:<\/h3>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-response-container matrix-response-container\">\n                                                        <p id=\"vg-matrix-response\" class=\"vg-matrix-response matrix-response-text-truncate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Good-paying jobs are employment opportunities that offer competitive wages and benefits, ensuring blue-collar workers can afford food and to keep a roof over their head, while also offering opportunities for career advancement. Three things we can do to attract businesses back to California would be to eliminate burdensome regulations that make it difficult for businesses to operate, reduce the state\u2019s corporate income tax rate, and provide incentives for new small businesses, like reducing taxes for their first year.

In the Senate, I\u2019ll fight to pass the PRO Act so workers have access to strong union jobs, secure SBA funding so that more businesses start here and stay here, support the innovation economy so critical to California\u2019s future, expand childcare investments, and push for an Apollo project-like initiative to create millions of green jobs.

Additionally, we need to build and strengthen the relationship between federal law enforcement and state and local law enforcement so they can work together, not against each other. Prosecutors also need to support the law, not push a partisan agenda. Strengthening the southern border and giving additional support to border patrol to do their job should also be a priority. <\/span><\/p>\n                                                        <div id=\"vg-read-more-btn\" class=\"vg-read-more-btn candidate-name\">\n                                                            <span class=\"vg-btn-text\">Read More<\/span>\n                                                            <svg class=\"arrow-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10\" height=\"7\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 7\" fill=\"none\">\n                                                                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0.34997 0.851604C0.125755 1.07832 0 1.38432 0 1.70318C0 2.02205 0.125755 2.32805 0.34997 2.55476L3.87752 6.11352C4.13917 6.37157 4.47765 6.5 4.81252 6.5C5.14739 6.5 5.47986 6.37157 5.73551 6.11352L9.25226 2.56677C9.47618 2.3399 9.60174 2.03396 9.60174 1.71519C9.60174 1.39642 9.47618 1.07847 9.25226 0.851604C9.14204 0.739759 9.01068 0.662945 8.86582 0.602323C8.72097 0.5417 8.56551 0.510482 8.40848 0.510482C8.25145 0.510482 8.09599 0.5417 7.95113 0.602323C7.80628 0.662945 7.67492 0.751761 7.5647 0.863607L4.80652 3.6446L2.03753 0.851604C1.92706 0.740195 1.79562 0.651765 1.6508 0.591418C1.50598 0.53107 1.35064 0.5 1.19375 0.5C1.03686 0.5 0.881518 0.53107 0.736697 0.591418C0.591875 0.651765 0.460438 0.740195 0.34997 0.851604Z\" fill=\"#212121\"\/>\n                                                            <\/svg>\n                                                        <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/section>\n                                                                                            <section class=\"\">\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-container--office\">\n                                                        <h3 class=\"candidate-name cm-cta-remove-margins e2024-party-indicator dem\">Adam Schiff:<\/h3>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-response-container matrix-response-container\">\n                                                        <p id=\"vg-matrix-response\" class=\"vg-matrix-response matrix-response-text-truncate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Support for law enforcement that goes hand in hand with a greater investment in community violence prevention and substance abuse and mental health services is the most effective combination to keep our communities safe. I will continue my work to eliminate rape kit backlogs and support using DNA evidence to solve violent crime. We can crack down on organized crime like smash and grab robberies by expanding the use of federal, state and local task forces. I also support an increase in funding to combat the devastating fentanyl crisis, interdicting drugs at the border and going after drug smuggling organizations. <\/span><\/p>\n                                                        <div id=\"vg-read-more-btn\" class=\"vg-read-more-btn candidate-name\">\n                                                            <span class=\"vg-btn-text\">Read More<\/span>\n                                                            <svg class=\"arrow-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10\" height=\"7\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 7\" fill=\"none\">\n                                                                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0.34997 0.851604C0.125755 1.07832 0 1.38432 0 1.70318C0 2.02205 0.125755 2.32805 0.34997 2.55476L3.87752 6.11352C4.13917 6.37157 4.47765 6.5 4.81252 6.5C5.14739 6.5 5.47986 6.37157 5.73551 6.11352L9.25226 2.56677C9.47618 2.3399 9.60174 2.03396 9.60174 1.71519C9.60174 1.39642 9.47618 1.07847 9.25226 0.851604C9.14204 0.739759 9.01068 0.662945 8.86582 0.602323C8.72097 0.5417 8.56551 0.510482 8.40848 0.510482C8.25145 0.510482 8.09599 0.5417 7.95113 0.602323C7.80628 0.662945 7.67492 0.751761 7.5647 0.863607L4.80652 3.6446L2.03753 0.851604C1.92706 0.740195 1.79562 0.651765 1.6508 0.591418C1.50598 0.53107 1.35064 0.5 1.19375 0.5C1.03686 0.5 0.881518 0.53107 0.736697 0.591418C0.591875 0.651765 0.460438 0.740195 0.34997 0.851604Z\" fill=\"#212121\"\/>\n                                                            <\/svg>\n                                                        <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/section>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issues-container--office\">\n                                        <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-question-container--office\">\n                                            <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-question\">\n                                                <h3>What is your solution to rising gun deaths in the nation?<\/h3>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-container\">\n                                                                                            <section class=\"\">\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-container--office\">\n                                                        <h3 class=\"candidate-name cm-cta-remove-margins e2024-party-indicator rep\">Steve Garvey:<\/h3>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-response-container matrix-response-container\">\n                                                        <p id=\"vg-matrix-response\" class=\"vg-matrix-response matrix-response-text-truncate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While I support the right to bear arms, I acknowledge that some restrictions and common-sense measures, like background checks before purchasing guns, help ensure weapons are kept out of the hands of criminals. It is important that rather than just continuing to compound additional gun control restrictions, like we have seen at the state level here in California, we gauge how certain policies are working and adjust based on results.

I also support the American Dream and Promise Act to create a permanent path for \u201cdreamers.\u201d In the Senate, I\u2019ll fight tooth-and-nail to pass comprehensive immigration reform.<\/span><\/p>\n                                                        <div id=\"vg-read-more-btn\" class=\"vg-read-more-btn candidate-name\">\n                                                            <span class=\"vg-btn-text\">Read More<\/span>\n                                                            <svg class=\"arrow-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10\" height=\"7\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 7\" fill=\"none\">\n                                                                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0.34997 0.851604C0.125755 1.07832 0 1.38432 0 1.70318C0 2.02205 0.125755 2.32805 0.34997 2.55476L3.87752 6.11352C4.13917 6.37157 4.47765 6.5 4.81252 6.5C5.14739 6.5 5.47986 6.37157 5.73551 6.11352L9.25226 2.56677C9.47618 2.3399 9.60174 2.03396 9.60174 1.71519C9.60174 1.39642 9.47618 1.07847 9.25226 0.851604C9.14204 0.739759 9.01068 0.662945 8.86582 0.602323C8.72097 0.5417 8.56551 0.510482 8.40848 0.510482C8.25145 0.510482 8.09599 0.5417 7.95113 0.602323C7.80628 0.662945 7.67492 0.751761 7.5647 0.863607L4.80652 3.6446L2.03753 0.851604C1.92706 0.740195 1.79562 0.651765 1.6508 0.591418C1.50598 0.53107 1.35064 0.5 1.19375 0.5C1.03686 0.5 0.881518 0.53107 0.736697 0.591418C0.591875 0.651765 0.460438 0.740195 0.34997 0.851604Z\" fill=\"#212121\"\/>\n                                                            <\/svg>\n                                                        <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/section>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                    <div id=\"vg-matrix__topic-section-3\" class=\"vg-matrix__topic-section \">\n                        <!-- TOPIC INTRO -->\n                        <div id=\"e2024-matrix__topic-blurb-3\" class=\"e2024-matrix__topic-blurb\">\n                            <div class=\"e2024-matrix__topic-blurb-icon\">\n                                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\">\n                                    <rect width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"white\" fill-opacity=\"0.01\" \/>\n                                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M12 22C6.477 22 2 17.523 2 12C2 6.477 6.477 2 12 2C17.523 2 22 6.477 22 12C22 17.523 17.523 22 12 22ZM13 8C13 8.55228 12.5523 9 12 9C11.4477 9 11 8.55228 11 8C11 7.44772 11.4477 7 12 7C12.5523 7 13 7.44772 13 8ZM12 10C12.5523 10 13 10.4477 13 11V16C13 16.5523 12.5523 17 12 17C11.4477 17 11 16.5523 11 16V11C11 10.4477 11.4477 10 12 10Z\" fill=\"#711A81\" \/>\n                                <\/svg>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"e2024-article-03\">\n                                <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The \u201chot labor summer\u201d last year <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/california-divide\/2023\/08\/summer-strikes-california\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">made a big difference in California<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and helped lead to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/politics\/2023\/09\/california-labor-legislature\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">significant victories for unions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the Legislature, including higher minimum wages than the statewide $16 an hour for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/california-divide\/2023\/09\/minimum-wage-california\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fast food<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/health\/2024\/01\/california-health-minimum-wage-delay\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">health care workers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

I also support increasing the minimum wage for healthcare workers to $25 an hour. In order to accomplish this, we\u2019ll need to abolish the filibuster and elect more Democrats to the Senate.<\/span><\/p>\n                                                        <div id=\"vg-read-more-btn\" class=\"vg-read-more-btn candidate-name\">\n                                                            <span class=\"vg-btn-text\">Read More<\/span>\n                                                            <svg class=\"arrow-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10\" height=\"7\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 7\" fill=\"none\">\n                                                                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0.34997 0.851604C0.125755 1.07832 0 1.38432 0 1.70318C0 2.02205 0.125755 2.32805 0.34997 2.55476L3.87752 6.11352C4.13917 6.37157 4.47765 6.5 4.81252 6.5C5.14739 6.5 5.47986 6.37157 5.73551 6.11352L9.25226 2.56677C9.47618 2.3399 9.60174 2.03396 9.60174 1.71519C9.60174 1.39642 9.47618 1.07847 9.25226 0.851604C9.14204 0.739759 9.01068 0.662945 8.86582 0.602323C8.72097 0.5417 8.56551 0.510482 8.40848 0.510482C8.25145 0.510482 8.09599 0.5417 7.95113 0.602323C7.80628 0.662945 7.67492 0.751761 7.5647 0.863607L4.80652 3.6446L2.03753 0.851604C1.92706 0.740195 1.79562 0.651765 1.6508 0.591418C1.50598 0.53107 1.35064 0.5 1.19375 0.5C1.03686 0.5 0.881518 0.53107 0.736697 0.591418C0.591875 0.651765 0.460438 0.740195 0.34997 0.851604Z\" fill=\"#212121\"\/>\n                                                            <\/svg>\n                                                        <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/section>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issues-container--office\">\n                                        <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-question-container--office\">\n                                            <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-question\">\n                                                <h3>Name three labor policies you want to implement as the next U.S. senator.<\/h3>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-container\">\n                                                                                            <section class=\"\">\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-container--office\">\n                                                        <h3 class=\"candidate-name cm-cta-remove-margins e2024-party-indicator rep\">Steve Garvey:<\/h3>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-response-container matrix-response-container\">\n                                                        <p id=\"vg-matrix-response\" class=\"vg-matrix-response matrix-response-text-truncate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We need to stop businesses from fleeing California by creating a better business climate with lower corporate taxes. This will allow businesses to offer their employees better benefits and increased pay. Additionally, California needs to support the agriculture and tech industries, two key industries that are pivotal to California\u2019s growth. Supporting these industries will lead to more jobs and income revenue for the state.<\/span><\/p>\n                                                        <div id=\"vg-read-more-btn\" class=\"vg-read-more-btn candidate-name\">\n                                                            <span class=\"vg-btn-text\">Read More<\/span>\n                                                            <svg class=\"arrow-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10\" height=\"7\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 7\" fill=\"none\">\n                                                                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0.34997 0.851604C0.125755 1.07832 0 1.38432 0 1.70318C0 2.02205 0.125755 2.32805 0.34997 2.55476L3.87752 6.11352C4.13917 6.37157 4.47765 6.5 4.81252 6.5C5.14739 6.5 5.47986 6.37157 5.73551 6.11352L9.25226 2.56677C9.47618 2.3399 9.60174 2.03396 9.60174 1.71519C9.60174 1.39642 9.47618 1.07847 9.25226 0.851604C9.14204 0.739759 9.01068 0.662945 8.86582 0.602323C8.72097 0.5417 8.56551 0.510482 8.40848 0.510482C8.25145 0.510482 8.09599 0.5417 7.95113 0.602323C7.80628 0.662945 7.67492 0.751761 7.5647 0.863607L4.80652 3.6446L2.03753 0.851604C1.92706 0.740195 1.79562 0.651765 1.6508 0.591418C1.50598 0.53107 1.35064 0.5 1.19375 0.5C1.03686 0.5 0.881518 0.53107 0.736697 0.591418C0.591875 0.651765 0.460438 0.740195 0.34997 0.851604Z\" fill=\"#212121\"\/>\n                                                            <\/svg>\n                                                        <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/section>\n                                                                                            <section class=\"\">\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-container--office\">\n                                                        <h3 class=\"candidate-name cm-cta-remove-margins e2024-party-indicator dem\">Adam Schiff:<\/h3>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-response-container matrix-response-container\">\n                                                        <p id=\"vg-matrix-response\" class=\"vg-matrix-response matrix-response-text-truncate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, I\u2019m going to fight to pass the PRO Act \u2014 the most pro-labor union legislation in a generation \u2014 so that unions are better able to collectively bargain, get a fair contract and enforce it.

However, California makes it difficult for home builders to quickly construct new housing with burdensome regulations. We can tackle this by reducing regulations on new home construction, changing the zoning laws to allow for more types of housing to be built, and to increase the height of buildings to allow for more higher density housing in urban areas. The federal government can also establish financial incentives, such as tax credits or grants, for developers who focus on building affordable housing units.<\/span><\/p>\n                                                        <div id=\"vg-read-more-btn\" class=\"vg-read-more-btn candidate-name\">\n                                                            <span class=\"vg-btn-text\">Read More<\/span>\n                                                            <svg class=\"arrow-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10\" height=\"7\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 7\" fill=\"none\">\n                                                                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0.34997 0.851604C0.125755 1.07832 0 1.38432 0 1.70318C0 2.02205 0.125755 2.32805 0.34997 2.55476L3.87752 6.11352C4.13917 6.37157 4.47765 6.5 4.81252 6.5C5.14739 6.5 5.47986 6.37157 5.73551 6.11352L9.25226 2.56677C9.47618 2.3399 9.60174 2.03396 9.60174 1.71519C9.60174 1.39642 9.47618 1.07847 9.25226 0.851604C9.14204 0.739759 9.01068 0.662945 8.86582 0.602323C8.72097 0.5417 8.56551 0.510482 8.40848 0.510482C8.25145 0.510482 8.09599 0.5417 7.95113 0.602323C7.80628 0.662945 7.67492 0.751761 7.5647 0.863607L4.80652 3.6446L2.03753 0.851604C1.92706 0.740195 1.79562 0.651765 1.6508 0.591418C1.50598 0.53107 1.35064 0.5 1.19375 0.5C1.03686 0.5 0.881518 0.53107 0.736697 0.591418C0.591875 0.651765 0.460438 0.740195 0.34997 0.851604Z\" fill=\"#212121\"\/>\n                                                            <\/svg>\n                                                        <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/section>\n                                                                                            <section class=\"\">\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-container--office\">\n                                                        <h3 class=\"candidate-name cm-cta-remove-margins e2024-party-indicator dem\">Adam Schiff:<\/h3>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-response-container matrix-response-container\">\n                                                        <p id=\"vg-matrix-response\" class=\"vg-matrix-response matrix-response-text-truncate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, we need to increase the supply of affordable housing by expanding the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and making a significant new federal direct investment in affordable housing. Second, we need to reduce the regulatory burden and the time it takes to build affordable housing by making sure local, state, or federal agencies respond promptly and prioritize applications to build new housing. And third, we need to strengthen protections for home buyers and remove barriers to homeownership for first-time buyers, as well as crack down on discriminatory practices that keep renters and home buyers out of the housing market.<\/span><\/p>\n                                                        <div id=\"vg-read-more-btn\" class=\"vg-read-more-btn candidate-name\">\n                                                            <span class=\"vg-btn-text\">Read More<\/span>\n                                                            <svg class=\"arrow-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10\" height=\"7\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 7\" fill=\"none\">\n                                                                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0.34997 0.851604C0.125755 1.07832 0 1.38432 0 1.70318C0 2.02205 0.125755 2.32805 0.34997 2.55476L3.87752 6.11352C4.13917 6.37157 4.47765 6.5 4.81252 6.5C5.14739 6.5 5.47986 6.37157 5.73551 6.11352L9.25226 2.56677C9.47618 2.3399 9.60174 2.03396 9.60174 1.71519C9.60174 1.39642 9.47618 1.07847 9.25226 0.851604C9.14204 0.739759 9.01068 0.662945 8.86582 0.602323C8.72097 0.5417 8.56551 0.510482 8.40848 0.510482C8.25145 0.510482 8.09599 0.5417 7.95113 0.602323C7.80628 0.662945 7.67492 0.751761 7.5647 0.863607L4.80652 3.6446L2.03753 0.851604C1.92706 0.740195 1.79562 0.651765 1.6508 0.591418C1.50598 0.53107 1.35064 0.5 1.19375 0.5C1.03686 0.5 0.881518 0.53107 0.736697 0.591418C0.591875 0.651765 0.460438 0.740195 0.34997 0.851604Z\" fill=\"#212121\"\/>\n                                                            <\/svg>\n                                                        <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/section>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                    <div id=\"vg-matrix__topic-section-5\" class=\"vg-matrix__topic-section \">\n                        <!-- TOPIC INTRO -->\n                        <div id=\"e2024-matrix__topic-blurb-5\" class=\"e2024-matrix__topic-blurb\">\n                            <div class=\"e2024-matrix__topic-blurb-icon\">\n                                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\">\n                                    <rect width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"white\" fill-opacity=\"0.01\" \/>\n                                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M12 22C6.477 22 2 17.523 2 12C2 6.477 6.477 2 12 2C17.523 2 22 6.477 22 12C22 17.523 17.523 22 12 22ZM13 8C13 8.55228 12.5523 9 12 9C11.4477 9 11 8.55228 11 8C11 7.44772 11.4477 7 12 7C12.5523 7 13 7.44772 13 8ZM12 10C12.5523 10 13 10.4477 13 11V16C13 16.5523 12.5523 17 12 17C11.4477 17 11 16.5523 11 16V11C11 10.4477 11.4477 10 12 10Z\" fill=\"#711A81\" \/>\n                                <\/svg>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"e2024-article-03\">\n                                <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The U.S. is deeply involved in supporting Ukraine repel the Russian invasion and backing Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.

I also support the Biden administration\u2019s efforts to urge Israel to make greater efforts to avoid civilian casualties and mourn the loss of innocent Palestinian civilians.

Preventing fighting is far more important than intervening when war has broken out. Development assistance is also critical to reducing the conditions that give rise to conflict. The U.S. still plays an indispensable role in the world in promoting democracy and basic human rights, and we cannot retreat from the world, especially when a rising tide of autocracy threatens freedom everywhere. Our values must drive our decisions, and diplomacy and strategic engagement play the most important role.<\/span><\/p>\n                                                        <div id=\"vg-read-more-btn\" class=\"vg-read-more-btn candidate-name\">\n                                                            <span class=\"vg-btn-text\">Read More<\/span>\n                                                            <svg class=\"arrow-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10\" height=\"7\" viewBox=\"0 0 10 7\" fill=\"none\">\n                                                                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0.34997 0.851604C0.125755 1.07832 0 1.38432 0 1.70318C0 2.02205 0.125755 2.32805 0.34997 2.55476L3.87752 6.11352C4.13917 6.37157 4.47765 6.5 4.81252 6.5C5.14739 6.5 5.47986 6.37157 5.73551 6.11352L9.25226 2.56677C9.47618 2.3399 9.60174 2.03396 9.60174 1.71519C9.60174 1.39642 9.47618 1.07847 9.25226 0.851604C9.14204 0.739759 9.01068 0.662945 8.86582 0.602323C8.72097 0.5417 8.56551 0.510482 8.40848 0.510482C8.25145 0.510482 8.09599 0.5417 7.95113 0.602323C7.80628 0.662945 7.67492 0.751761 7.5647 0.863607L4.80652 3.6446L2.03753 0.851604C1.92706 0.740195 1.79562 0.651765 1.6508 0.591418C1.50598 0.53107 1.35064 0.5 1.19375 0.5C1.03686 0.5 0.881518 0.53107 0.736697 0.591418C0.591875 0.651765 0.460438 0.740195 0.34997 0.851604Z\" fill=\"#212121\"\/>\n                                                            <\/svg>\n                                                        <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/section>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issues-container--office\">\n                                        <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-question-container--office\">\n                                            <div class=\"e2024-matrix__issue-question\">\n                                                <h3>Do you support reducing or increasing the federal budget on defense and national security?

Here in California, we see the effects of climate change with persistent drought, increased wildfires, and sea level rise. We must strike a balance between protecting our environment without destroying our economy and jobs. Increasing infrastructure for electric vehicle charging stations is important, especially in rural areas. Additionally, we should increase federal investment in research and development of carbon capture and storage, as well as other innovative solutions.
