She previously was a member of the Newport Mesa School Board and served on several local nonprofit boards and commissions. A proud graduate of Head Start and a Pell Grant recipient, Katrina understands what it is like to grow up in a family facing financial challenges. As the daughter and wife of union members, Katrina has always stood with California's workers and working families in their efforts to organize and collectively bargain. In law school, Katrina established the school's first women's resource center to serve domestic violence victims and chaired the women's law caucus. The small clinic is now a well-established, for credit clinic run by the law school. Katrina was the City of Costa Mesa's first pregnant Planning Commissioner.

- Housing and Homelessness
- Education and Job Training
- The Environment and Our Future
As Costa Mesa Mayor, I led efforts to open a new emergency shelter and provide mental health, treatment and job training services to get people off the streets. We must also plan and protect neighborhoods so we have housing families can afford. I was raised by a single mom who struggled to make ends meet, I know firsthand that a good education changes lives. On the school board, I advocated for our schools, college affordability and job training for youth to compete in today's economy. In Costa Mesa, we adopted building standards to reduce the environmental impact of new development by 40-50%. I will continue to stand strong in the fight to combat climate change and prevent offshore oil drilling.
