With just 36 days to go until Election Day, I was excited to join Democratic Party Chair Bagby and Luke Torian yesterday for a GOTV rally at our campaign headquarters! We fired up a full house of volunteers and highlighted how early voting will help #TeamDowney flip the 69th District.

As a Peninsula pediatrician, I help parents give their children a strong start, from first Band-Aid to last booster. I never ask moms or dads about their political party. I ask, How can I help?

As a lifelong pediatrician, I know firsthand rising costs are straining families in the 69th District. I will fight to repeal the car tex and put money back in your pocket. Learn more about my commonsense and children-first platform at Downey4VA.com.
