Mike Eng on the Issues

 

Excellence In Education

Mike has the experience we need to improve our schools and colleges. Ever since graduating from UCLA Law School, Mike has served as an immigration lawyer and has helped thousands by teaching English to immigrants. In the State Assembly and as a member of the Education Committee, he helped reduce class sizes and restore essential funding for up-to-date textbooks. Mike helped lead the efforts for free community college tuition for students under the College Promise Program.

 

Quality Jobs and Economic Opportunity

As a Community College Board Trustee, Mike led efforts to provide quality job training for the jobs of the future — and fought to help homeless students stabilize their lives. Mike helped lead efforts to secure the award of the $15 million California Career Pathways Grant to make sure that over 6,000 students move from K-12 to Community College and then into the workforce. Mike also worked with small businesses in the San Gabriel Valley to cut red tape, while protecting the quality of our air and water. And Mike authored California’s Homeowner Bill of Rights to address the mortgage foreclosure crisis and get families back on their feet.

 

Affordable Health Care

Mike previously served as a member of the Assembly Health Committee, where he fought for access to better quality, affordable care for all. He will fight to protect the Affordable Care Act and Covered California from attacks by the Trump Administration. In fact, Mike initiated the L.A. Community Colleges’ efforts to sign up students, faculty and staff under the federal Affordable Care Act. Mike supports single payer universal health care because it would cut wasteful bureaucracy while improving the quality of care.
