Today, it was my privilege to welcome a distinguished delegation from the California State Senate to Capitol Hill in Washington.
 
We discussed issues of importance to the Golden State and ways to collaborate on our shared goal of a better future for all Californians.

Republicans have no business telling people when or how to start a family. Period.

My bills on Transparency & Public Trust!

SB1337 Referendum Transparency - requiring signature gatherers to list the TOP 3 FUNDERS of a referendum campaign ✍️

SB1376 Transparency in local contracting - creates a pilot for local govs to report on their contracting activity 💡

Thank you to our #SD33 leaders! ✨

Let's be clear: President Biden is doing all he can to fund border security and humanitarian efforts while Republicans in Congress are choosing border chaos for political gain.

From Pro Tem Mike McGuire:

The hate-fueled speech directed to leaders in the California Legislative Black Caucus and others this week is vile and abhorrent. These words have no power in California, and certainly don’t belong in the halls of our State Capitol. Not now. Not ever.

Horrific that Google will hide California news stories from some of its users to put pressure on state lawmakers not to pass a bill that would require it to pay journalists whose content it’s been profiting from for free for decades. latimes.com/entertainment-… via Wendy Lee

Thankful to have the support of Jane Fonda Climate PAC! 💚

Together we’re working hard to keep our environment clean & green for future generations. 👏🏽
