Hello r/politics! My title is Nicolas Carjuzaa (34M) and I’m a Democrat working for the House of Representatives from California’s 8^th Congressional District.

I’m a first-generation French-American born and raised within the San Francisco Bay Area, with levels from California, France, and the U.Ok. Before working for Congress, I used to be a Principal Analyst of International Affairs at FINRA, the place I partnered with U.S. and international authorities businesses to guard buyers and promote steady and clear monetary markets.

I’m working as a result of the price of dwelling is uncontrolled, belief in our authorities is collapsing, and too many elected officers are complacent, out of contact, or primarily desirous about serving company donors. Nationally occurring issues are additionally crushing my district and we want payments in D.C. to assist clear up them: unaffordable housing, vitality, healthcare, schooling, childcare, and groceries, rising environmental dangers, and unsustainable public money owed can’t be left to our area and state to resolve alone. The district can also be difficult as a result of a lot of our cities need assistance coordinating regional priorities, and there’s rigidity in our communities between missing and resisting growth whereas a couple of are even going through fiscal catastrophe (Vallejo and Benicia). Despite all of it, our district can also be solidly Democratic and will probably be supportive of progressive reforms so badly wanted in our nation’s monetary and political techniques.

I’ll even be frank concerning the greater image. The United States is just too unequal, corrupt, and unsustainable. We are destroying our personal planet’s ecosystems, the inventory market is contributing to systemic danger, the economic system is deteriorating for working individuals, our democracy is crumbling due to widespread apathy and cynicism, the bulwark of our democratic establishments is buckling to Trump, and we’re abandoning the liberal world order we made. I worry {that a} transnational elite class has attained adequate financial and political energy to undermine democratic decision-making and keep away from accountability to anyone nation; even the United States.

No one, together with judges, elected officers, or appointed regulators, is above the legislation. Congress has a constitutional responsibility to supply oversight and accountability when belief is violated. If we regain energy, it is going to be as much as Democrats to make an unprecedented combat for justice, reform, and reconstruction to revive our democracy and preserve our nation free.

I’m right here to reply your questions, whether or not you agree with me or not, about my platform, my expertise, and the way I’d characterize CA-08 in Congress. Thanks for being right here and collaborating within the democratic course of.
