I’m running to make housing more affordable. 1️⃣ Tighten California's rent cap. State law still lets landlords raise rent by up to 10% a year, an increase that far outpaces wage growth. I'll fight to lower that ceiling so a lease renewal doesn't push families out of their homes. 2️⃣ Close the loopholes that let landlords pull units off the market. Too many landlords use the Ellis Act to clear out longtime tenants, then put the same units back up at a much higher price. I'll close those loopholes so rent-stabilized homes stay affordable. 3️⃣ Strengthen eviction protections. No one should lose their home without a good reason. I'll expand just-cause protections so renters have security and a fair process. 4️⃣ Build more affordable housing. The only long term solution to our housing crisis is building additional housing where it make sense. #teamerickson

I'm running to make utilities cost less. Here's the plan: 1️⃣ Stop utilities from spending your money on politics. Right now your monthly bill helps pay for the lobbyists and political campaigns that keep rates high. I'll put an end to ratepayer-funded political spending. 2️⃣ Hold utilities accountable for disasters they cause. They've put profits ahead of the infrastructure upgrades that keep us safe, and families across our district have paid the price. I'll make sure shareholders carry that cost instead of ratepayers. 3️⃣ Get relief to everyone who qualifies for it. California already has programs that reduce monthly bills for households that need help, but they're not reaching the people who need them. I'll expand outreach and automatic enrollment so those savings get used. #teamerickson #sd24
