A Conversation with Abel Chavez for Congress!
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026
While Lori is taking a much needed break, Lisa is holding down the fort with our first candidate conversation of 2026! Today, we welcome Abel Chavez , candidate for Congress. Abel is running to bring big, practical change to Capitol Hill and to everyday families across California.Abel Chavez isn’t your typical politician. He’s a former high school science teacher, a successful small business owner, and a school board president who knows firsthand what it takes to improve our schools and fight for working families. Here are five high notes you’ll want to hear about his vision:🎯 1. A California We Can Afford — Abel’s campaign is all about tackling the skyrocketing cost of living — from rent and utilities to healthcare — so families don’t have to choose between basics and stability. 📚 2. Putting Education First — With deep experience in the classroom and as a board president who boosted test scores and secured millions in funding, Abel is laser-focused on strengthening schools, supporting teachers, and lifting student opportunity across the district. 🏡 3. Real Solutions for Housing — He’s calling for policies that keep homes affordable for local families — not Wall Street investors — because owning a home shouldn’t be out of reach for hardworking people. 🩺 4. Healthcare Without Barriers — Abel believes healthcare should be accessible and affordable for all, not just profit centers — reflecting his commitment to community wellbeing. 👥 5. A Movement Built on People, Not Special Interests — Abel refuses corporate money, choosing instead to run a campaign rooted in grassroots empowerment and service to everyday people. And that’s just the beginning — Abel’s vision also includes solutions for homelessness, safer schools, support for local businesses, and bringing high-speed internet to every family.
