SB 935, which removes the 2031 sunset date on California's local agency design-build authority, has passed out of the Assembly Local Government Committee with bipartisan support.

California’s parole board commissioners have pr oven they cannot be trusted with their duty to keep the public safe from monsters. I voted to remove them and replace them with commissioners who will place victim’s rights first

[Senator Steven Choi, Ph.D. @SenatorChoi]

California's parole system is failing victims and putting public safety at risk. Some parole commissioners seem more focused on granting early releases than protecting our communities. Violent offenders should be held accountable, and victims deserve justice. Where’s the justice?

It was an honor to participate in the 2026 Sacramento Valley Korean Cultural Festival, with a special memorial tribute to Ha Jun Lee. I enjoyed gathering to celebrate the rich Korean American culture we have here in California.

I enjoyed meeting with @ocalzheimers to discuss a few bills that just passed the Assembly to the Senate and how those bills passing would positively or negatively impact those with cognitive disabilities like dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

Today, we recognize National Senior Health & Fitness Day and the importance of helping older Californians stay active, healthy, and connected.

That’s why I introduced SB 971, to support healthier outcomes for seniors through community-based partnerships and education.

"California taxpayers deserve meaningful support for public safety, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and wildfire resilience, not more policies that make our state less affordable.”

This Memorial Day, I had the honor of participating in the annual @LagunaNiguelCty Wreath Laying Ceremony, where we paid tribute to and reflected on the sacrifice of those who served our country.

[Senator Steven Choi, Ph.D. @SenatorChoi]

Today, I was honored to attend the @LakeForestCA Community Association’s Memorial Day event, where I had the opportunity to serve brunch to members of our community and connect face to face with constituents on such a meaningful day of remembrance and gratitude.

Glad to have met with local parents representing @CapoUnified Council PTSA. We spoke at lengths on school funding, and policies that are currently harming the future of our local school districts.

Proud to recognize Tlaquepaque Restaurant in Placentia as the May Small Business of the Month! Since 1965, the Davis family has made Tlaquepaque a cornerstone of Old Town Placentia through community leadership and service. Congratulations to Raul, Rosalina, and Raul Jr.!

Newsom’s response to high gas prices is telling you to avoid certain gas stations.

Meanwhile, @SenStricklandCA’s #SB1035 would’ve lowered gas prices by $1.08/gal IMMEDIATELY.

The majority party didn’t even consider it.

[Senator Steven Choi, Ph.D. @SenatorChoi]

Today, my Senate Bill 927, which creates a pathway for adult adoptees to complete their own readoption when both their adoptive parents and adoption agency failed to finalize the process during childhood, passed out of the Senate with unanimous support.

I was proud to present #SB971, which would improve health, wellness, and community engagement of California’s adults ages 55 and older by strengthening existing, trusted community networks, on the Senate Floor, where it passed with bipartisan support.

I was proud to present #SB1242, which allows a family member, if they are the original petitioner, to participate in the CARE Court program for coordinating care and providing relevant information to the Court. The bill now advances to the Assembly.

With revenues higher than expected, we have the ability to further build our reserves, today. Why isn’t the Governor doing so? #MayRevise #LOA #BudgetSub2

[Senator Steven Choi, Ph.D. @SenatorChoi]

I want to extended special recognition to Suzanne Fidler for her extraordinary efforts advancing #SB1242 through the legislative process. The bill now advances to the Assembly for policy committee assignment.
