@SamanthaCorbin So sorry Sam. Hang in there.

Talk about bittersweet. This year was my last in #caleg

Here are my #Caleg 13 bills now headed to @CAgovernor 's desk:

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Our economy thrives when workers are empowered and paid fairly. That's why I'm proud to stand with the movement to raise the minimum wage to $17/hr.

We deserve to live in a country where nobody has to struggle to make ends meet, where dignity and fair compensation are the norm.

Access to livable wage jobs, stable housing, economic supports, and inclusion into society as whole human beings are all critical components of successful reentry. It takes a community and @CROPOrg1 is here for it!
