- Addressing talent and labor gaps in critical industries like education and healthcare
- School funding, including educator pay and institutional funding needs
- School safety
- Business growth and retention
- Housing access and affordability, including water, entitlements, incentives, construction defect litigation, land use, starter homes, homelessness and eviction prevention, and housing density
- Expanding awareness of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC)
