Gómez made history as the first Latina LGBTQ Latina elected as San Diego City Council president and is now vying to become the first openly LGBTQ Latina elected to Congress.
"I have been able to deliver results for San Diego families and move progressive priorities forward, from affordable housing to action on climate change. Now I'm running for Congress to keep delivering results for San Diego families."
"There is so much at stake in this election — climate action, economic justice, racial justice, immigration reform, and making sure no one is left behind as we recover from this pandemic. Congress needs to continue focusing on helping families get through this economic and public health crisis. The focus must be to control the spread of the coronavirus, see through the development and distribution of a vaccine, and provide economic relief to working families and small businesses."
"We also have to elect leaders who will advance our progressive priorities including Medicare For All, equal pay for women and people of color, action on the climate crisis, defending immigrants' rights, cracking down on discrimination and protecting Social Security and Medicare from privatization. Elections have consequences and electing leaders who have experience and a track record of getting things done for the people is crucial."
