Notes from Mullissa
CalPERS decisions aren’t abstract. They shape whether public employees can have access to quality, affordable health care and retire with dignity after decades of public service. The Board needs voices who understand the financial side and what it means to depend on our health care and pensions.
That’s who I am, that’s why I serve.
YOUR RETIREMENT SECURITY
When I was elected to the CalPERS Board in 2022, CalPERS had $444 billion in assets a funding level of 72%. This January, the fund surpassed $600 billion in total assets, the first public pension system in the country to do so. The fund has grown to a respectable 83% funding level. This didn’t happen by accident; it happened because workers paid in, employers paid in, and the system was governed responsibly.
YOUR HEALTH CARE
During my four years on the CalPERS Board, we’ve worked hard to ensure access to quality health care, especially in areas where access is limited, by negotiating plans that offer choice, quality, and affordability. To slow the rising cost of health care, we use every tool available, from smart contracting to accountability, oversight, and strategic action.
YOUR VOICE
I’ve spent years working at the intersection of pensions, healthcare, and worker advocacy. I don’t just show up to meetings. I meet with members throughout California to understand the real impacts and the real choices that affect working families
Amplifying workers’ voices on the CalPERS Board has been an honor. Every decision I make at CalPERS is grounded in a simple principle: workers’ capital must work for workers. I strive to protect retirement security, strengthen corporate accountability, and ensure members have a real voice in how their pension is managed.
I would be honored to earn your vote.
