A NEW VOICE FOR THE NORTH STATE: A FIGHTER FOR YOU

Hi, I’m Rose Penelope Yee, and I’m running to represent the North State in Congress because current Rep. Doug LaMalfa doesn’t.

I will throw all my energy into reducing costs for North Staters and fighting corruption in Washington that steals our resources. These are my priorities:

Healthcare when you need it

What good is private insurance when your co-pays are so high you still can’t afford to see a doctor? And we can’t rely on public insurance anymore, with LaMalfa and his cronies kicking 15 million people off Medicaid (up to 100,000 of them North Staters) in their “One Big Beautiful Bill,” cutting funding for rural hospitals like ours, and going along with AI death panels for seniors. This has to stop.

Healthcare is a human right, and I will fight to make sure that every single one of us can get what we need without going bankrupt. That means reducing prescription drug costs, expanding rural healthcare, and opening Medicare to all.

A home you can afford

Home prices in the North State have skyrocketed by over 50%—in some counties nearly 90%—in the past five years. Rents have shot up too in Shasta and Butte counties. LaMalfa has no plan for addressing this affordability crisis.

I will push for solutions that allow our families and seniors to stay in the communities they love: federal funding to build entry-level and affordable housing, down-payment assistance, and cost-control measures.

Jobs you can live on

North Staters work hard, but many of us still can’t get ahead or even afford basic living expenses—which continue to rise thanks to tariffs (aka sales taxes) that LaMalfa supports.

We need solutions like living wages, an end to union busting, expanded trades education, and clean energy initiatives that create good jobs where we live while reducing utility costs.  

Ending billionaire corruption and returning power to the people

We don’t have those things now because corporate lobbyists and billionaires call the shots in Washington. You can see it in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” that LaMalfa voted for: It takes away health and food benefits from people who need them to provide tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans. It also provides new subsidies for oil and gas companies while squashing competition from cheap, clean energy.

The elites get an excellent return on their investment while the rest of us get expensive power, dirty air and poor health. This is corruption, pure and simple. I will work to shut off the money spigot, close the revolving door between Congress and lobbying firms, and end this oligarchy.

Restoring our freedoms

I grew up in a police state. I know what it’s like to be under surveillance, to have family members thrown in jail for speaking their minds and standing up for others, to see people suffer while resources and money are pillaged by those at the top.

I don’t want that to happen in America—and like many of us, I didn’t think it could—but I see the signs of trouble. I will fight for the rights LaMalfa has failed to protect: free speech, free assembly, a free press, and freedom from unreasonable searches and arrests.
