Thank you to our local #SanJoaquinCounty supervisors for stopping by my Sacramento office yesterday as party of your advocacy day.

I always appreciate discussing how the State and County can work hand-in-hand for the betterment of our community and future generations.

I am proud to have earned a 100% score on the Equality California scorecard for my voting in 2023.

Today and every day, we must continue to build a just and equal world that is free from discrimination.

Six different programs that serve #SanJoaquinCounty youth recently received a total of nearly $4 million in grants through the 'Elevate Youth California' campaign!

This funding will help educate our youth on substance abuse prevention and how to cope with trauma and adversity.

I am excited to share that my #AB1882 recently passed out of the Assembly Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs!

This is an important step to ensure disabled veterans receive critical benefits for their transportation needs.

#TaxDay is around the corner. CalEITC makes it easy to file.

I am proud to co-author the #STOPAct (Wendy Carrillo) to better support our law enforcement personnel and protect our businesses, customers, and local economies from the dangerous retail theft that has been threatening our communities.

I'm pleased to share that #AB2336 has passed the Assembly Committee on Public Safety.

This bipartisan effort will help protect law enforcement and first responders, and is another step toward providing parity in how we enforce against fentanyl compared to other dangerous drugs.

In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth , I had the privilege of welcoming Venetia James and her Hundreds Unit dance team to the Assembly Floor today!

The Hundreds Unit is a health and wellness organization that empowers women through dance to transform lives.
