 Hi, my name is Adam Bolaño-Scow and I'm a Democrat running for Congress to replace Jimmy Panetta. I'm a resident of Watsonville and the grandson of a Bracero farm worker, my parents' for school teachers. I'm a graduate of UC Berkeley and I have been an environmental advocate for over 14 years. As California director for Food and Water Watch, I help ban fracking in Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Monterey counties. I've also worked with community leaders to fight for public water ownership, both in the Monterey Peninsula and in Felton. I'm running for Congress to help solve two big crises. First, we have a major affordability crisis that is driving people away from our district. I will fight for a range of solutions, including universal health care, tuition-free public college, and we must bring our federal money back to fund real affordable housing. New market rate housing is unaffordable to the vast majority of us. Second, we have a growing climate crisis that is getting worse. This threatens our very survival. We must transition to renewable energy and get off of fossil fuels. As your Congress member, I will champion a Green New Deal with a plan to get to 100% renewable energy by 2030. I also support a national ban on fracking. The incumbents' climate plan is too little, too late, has major loopholes that are friendly to corporate polluters. The Green New Deal is an opportunity to create millions of new jobs to build local clean energy grids so we can have a future for our children and our grandchildren. Let me say that I strongly support a path to citizenship for all of our neighbors and workers who have been here. We need an amnesty with a path to citizenship, and I do not support segmenting people. Unlike the incumbent, I do not take corporate campaign contributions. All of my money is coming from real people, adamscow.org. Our district deserves a member of Congress who will help pass bold solutions and not settle for corporate compromises, because now more than ever, our lives depend on it.
