16: Marisol Rubio Runs for State Senate District 9

On this episode, I chat with San Ramon City Councilmember Marisol Rubio who is running for State Senate District 9. Rubio has a nice background which led her to where she is today in advocating for under-served communities, seniors, those with disabilities and in the healthcare industry. With her science background, she highlights how she takes a pragmatic approach to multiple issues from healthcare, crime and safety, environmental issues, homelessness, the budget and a variety of other issues such as advocating for women and reproductive rights and freedoms. With both Rubio and Assemblyman Tim Grayson automatically moving onto the General Election, this interview was an introduction into who Rubio is, her background, and thoughts on many topics. District includes: Antioch, Brentwood, Concord, San Ramon, Pittsburg, Martinez, Pleasant Hill, into Alameda County – Castro Valley, San Leandro, San Lorenzo.   For more on Rubio: www.marisolforca.com
