PRIORITIES

Rose Will Fight for Our Community’s Needs

As the North State’s representative in Congress, Rose Yee will pursue a Care Agenda that brings new resources to our communities and supports everyone’s ability to thrive.

This agenda focuses on five freedoms, all essential to creating more opportunity for North State residents. See Rose talk about her priorities on Action News Now.

Healthcare Freedom

We all deserve the freedom to get the healthcare we need without risking bankruptcy or being forced to give up control over our own bodies.

Educational Freedom

We all deserve the freedom to develop our talents by seeking the education and training we need without taking on crippling student loan debt.


Freedom to Live in a Safe Environment

We all deserve the freedom to drink tap water without hesitation, to invest in our homes without fear of raging wildfires, and to enjoy healthy forests, grasslands and waterways.

Financial Freedom

We all deserve the freedom to work at a single job that pays enough to support us, to live without anxiety over unaffordable rent, and to retire without fear of sinking into poverty if anything goes wrong. Read about Rose’s housing policy priorities.

Freedom to Participate in a Real Democracy

We need to free ourselves from the excessive influence of corporations and the wealthy, and prioritize the welfare of all Americans above handouts for millionaires and billionaires.

LaMalfa Opposes Rose’s Care Agenda.

Do you think we deserve funding for clean energy projects that provide living wage jobs and uplift our rural economy?

Do you think we deserve clean water?

Do you think our communities deserve affordable healthcare?

Do you think women should have the right to make their own decisions about reproductive care?

Do you think rural students deserve an education that develops their talents?

Do you think the wealthy should contribute their fair share to the country that has enabled their success?

Incumbent U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa doesn’t. He has voted against Rose’s Care Agenda at every opportunity.
