“I am a results-oriented, proven leader that will bring to the California Senate a strong, much-needed progressive voice with knowledge and lived experience in public health, social justice, the environment, and education,” said Marisol.
Marisol is the proud parent of a childhood brain cancer survivor who has lived with lifelong disabilities.
