Dear Neighbor,

We recently wrapped up the legislative session for the year, and I’d like to provide you an update about what’s been happening in Sacramento! In my first year, we passed 7 bills that I authored, including bills to make Milpitas and Berryessa BART stations safer, protecting mobile home residents, and preserving the public's ability to participate in government meetings remotely.

Learn more about a few of the organizations in our district below.

The State Legislature recently approved the three-party agreement on AB 832 to extend the current eviction moratorium through September 30, 2021.

Several provisions have been made to improve the program to help both tenants and landlords including:

The District offers rebate programs, including the landscape rebate program that encourages residents to remove high-water-use landscape. On July 1, the maximum rebate amount for residential sites will increase to $3,000.
