It’s commonsense that we should not be serving our students ultra-processed foods that can harm their physical and mental health. Proud that CA is once again leading with a bipartisan, science-based approach.
A California Assemblymember is introducing a landmark bill that would phase out ultra-processed foods from his state's public schools. https://t.co/7Rz8ajiqHJ
Saddened to hear about this act of hateful vandalism. The Chino Hills Mandir is a beautiful place of worship and community building and I stand with them and the Hindu community in Chino Hills and Southern California against such vile hate.
Today’s ruling is a victory for Holocaust survivors and their descendants — as well as for justice and morality. I hope that the Ninth Circuit will quickly return this priceless masterpiece and finally correct this longstanding historical injustice. https://t.co/FWyd7V2dCV
Proud to join my colleagues in a bipartisan effort to rescind new, arbitrary caps on @NIH funding. This critical funding supports CA biomedical research that makes America a healthier, safer place for everyone.
Yesterday, we celebrated #ReadAcrossAmerica Day! We were reminded of the power of books to spark imagination, curiosity, and learning for readers of all ages.📚✨
Honored to celebrate my new colleague @AsmCRodriguez, on her swearing in to our State Assembly! Wishing her much success in this new chapter and I’m excited to work together to represent our communities in the San Fernando Valley.
Kicking off #WomensHistoryMonth with a throwback to celebrating the incredible women who shape the San Fernando Valley and beyond. Huge thanks to Arts Bridging the Gap and the YMCA for bringing the community together to celebrate and uplift female empowerment!
Today, I joined leading environmental advocates & medical professionals to announce legislation to safeguard CA’s drinking water. AB794 will mandate state water standards to protect Californians from #PFAS—toxic ‘forever chemicals’ linked to deadly cancers & serious health risks.
Californians shouldn’t have to worry that their drinking water has been contaminated by toxic ‘forever chemicals’ linked to deadly cancers and health harms. We’re taking action to mandate new drinking water standards to protect CA from PFAS contamination. Press release below 👇
Always a pleasure to host young leaders from the Valley at the Capitol—especially our friends at @YMCALA Mid Valley Teens! We had a blast showing them around the Assembly floor last week and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things they’ll achieve. Thanks for visiting!
Thank you to everyone to came out to our Tacos and Taxes event in Canoga Park this weekend! And thank you to @AsmJesseGabriel and @NewEco4Women for partnering. Find out more about upcoming tax events at https://t.co/3zAvBWDPPi
I was proud to stand with my colleagues this morning to discuss #AB469. This bi-partisan bill will provide law enforcement with the tools they need to prosecute those who seek to re-victimize people who have lost their homes and businesses during an emergency event. This bill will close loopholes that hinder criminal prosecutions and increase penalties for those convicted of looting and impersonating emergency responders. #CALeg
Today, I joined @ASM_Irwin, @AsmPacheco, @AsmHarabedian to announce bipartisan legislation to protect wildfire victims and first responders by strengthening and modernizing state law on looting and impersonation of emergency personnel during wildfires and the rebuilding process.
