Dear Friend,

Get ready for our second annual Youth Art Contest! I’m excited to invite students from our schools to participate in the upcoming contest themed “Riding Future Transit.”

Dear Friend,

As your State Assemblymember, I see the hard work of our community members every day to make our community a better place. Many of their efforts go unnoticed, and I am inviting you to nominate an Unsung Hero in our district — someone who has gone above and beyond to make a difference. The deadline to submit a nomination is February 28, 2025.

Dear friend,

As we head into a new special session of the Legislature, I’ll keep fighting for the people as Chair of the Legislative Progressive Caucus. This session will be one step in reinforcing California as a fortress of progress against the Trump administration.

Dear Friend,

Four years ago, I was sworn into office to serve at the State Assembly. It was a surreal experience — a time of unprecedented change for both myself and the rest of the world as we navigated the COVID-19 pandemic. Standing in Sacramento’s Golden One Center for the swearing-in ceremony, I felt incredibly humbled. Against all odds, I had the honor of serving my home district.

Dear Friend,

You know this simple, frustrating truth: housing is way too expensive in the Bay Area. But it doesn’t have to be this way. I’m writing to you exclusively about this underrated affordable housing solution that is beginning to spread from California to the nation.

Dear Friend,

Get ready for our second annual Youth Art Contest! I’m excited to invite students from our schools to participate in the upcoming contest themed “Riding Future Transit.”

Dear Friend,

Democracy at its heart is about representing us, the people. I have always prioritized the good of society over the profits of a handful of corporations, but corporate greed in California (the fifth largest economy in the world) is unfortunately still rampant. Some of the biggest culprits are multi-billion dollar oil companies who earn eye-popping profits from spiking gas prices. And who pays the price? We do.

Dear Friend,

I am pleased to invite you to my Bay Area Winter Job Fair, co-hosted with Assemblymember Liz Ortega and the California Department of Human Resources. This event will be a great opportunity to explore how you can transform your passions into a rewarding career with the State of California.

With a range of state departments and agencies in attendance, you’ll have access to a wide range of career pathways. The Work for California team will be on-site to provide personalized assistance, guiding job seekers on the application process.

Dear Friend,

As the legislative session came to a close at the end of August, I’m proud of what we accomplished. This year, I authored legislation that's rooted in tackling the most pressing issues, from food insecurity and access to safe drinking water to environmental protections, LGBTQ+ rights and housing affordability. My bills are now off to the Governor’s desk.

Back at the end of 2023, my office launched a survey to gather your thoughts. 1,452 people responded to our survey which was conducted via mail and online. That’s 1,452 out of 477,655 constituents that I have the honor of representing.

Every opinion matters. Your feedback helps me understand your top priorities. Survey respondents’ top 3 concerns were public safety, homelessness, and housing affordability — issues that I’m working hard to address at the State Legislature.
