Fun parade recognizing Liberty Station's naval history with Senator @AdamSchiff and Congressman @ScottPetersCA50 today! Great way to start the weekend’s celebrations of our nation's 250th birthday with live music by the U.S. Navy Band Southwest, classic cars and community!

Early returns have us leading with 52.6% across both San Diego and Orange counties — a strong start. With many ballots still left to count, we're optimistic that our lead will continue to grow in the coming days. Thank you to every supporter, volunteer, and voter who got us here!

What a beautiful morning at The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano! 🍓

Thank you to everyone who joined me for a Sunday morning spent picking strawberries and blackberries, catching up with friends and neighbors, and enjoying one of Orange County’s truly special places.

I’m closely monitoring the hazardous materials emergency at the GKN Aerospace facility in Garden Grove, where a toxic, highly flammable chemical tank threatens to leak or explode. Roughly 40,000 residents in Garden Grove and surrounding communities are under evacuation orders.

[Catherine Blakespear @Cblakespear]

Shelters are open, including Freedom Hall at Mile Square Park and Oceanview High School in Huntington Beach.

If you’re near the area: stay away and follow all evacuation orders. And to the first responders putting themselves in harm’s way to keep us safe, thank you.

What a great morning of canvassing for Josh Coyne for San Diego City Council, District 2!

Thank you to everyone who came out, knocked doors, and talked with neighbors about this important race. Josh is exactly the kind of thoughtful, energetic leader San Diego needs!

I’m officially qualified to appear on the ballot for my reelection campaign for State Senate!

I’m running because I believe in safer communities, a healthier environment, good jobs, affordable housing, and a government that helps people solve problems.

[Catherine Blakespear @Cblakespear]

Thank you to the California Democratic Party for endorsing our campaign for State Senate District 38!

This endorsement reflects the values we share: protecting our coastline, making housing more affordable, keeping our communities safe, and standing up to extremism everywhere.

Last night was one for the books. 🤠💛 Thank you to everyone who joined my 50th Birthday Bash at Fox Point Farms. Your warmth, Western flair, and support mean so much. Grateful to serve District 38, and ready for the work ahead. Let’s keep going!

[Catherine Blakespear @Cblakespear]

Great to answer questions and focus on what needs to change at the Carlsbad/Encinitas Dem Club. Proud to be endorsed by the Encinitas & North Coast Democratic Club!

It was wonderful today to be at Seaside Market in Cardiff, handing out reusable bags and talking about the implementation of my #SB1053, which bans plastic bags from being provided at grocery store checkouts. This will significantly reduce CA’s plastic bag pollution! @CALPIRG #ZeroWaste

I fought to bring $3.59 million home for the Oceanside Museum of Art, and today I was thrilled to present that funding. Restoring Fire Station 1 and expanding arts access will make a real difference for families and students here in our community!

[Catherine Blakespear @Cblakespear]

The goats are back! These hardworking animals are helping us reduce fire risk by clearing the under-story around our home. Watching them move through the brush is both practical and oddly calming.

Grateful for these little helpers and the work they do to keep our homes safer.

[Catherine Blakespear @Cblakespear]

I had a great afternoon talking with neighbors about issues that affect us all. We discussed water, solar, reducing street homelessness, and housing ideas that really meet the moment!

Thank you to everyone who came, asked questions, and shared your experiences.

[Catherine Blakespear @Cblakespear]

We are hosting goats this season to help naturally reduce fire risk by clearing the under-story and invasive plants. It is a simple but powerful reminder of why strong fire management and land stewardship matter for every community in our region.

So happy to be here with my family at the San Diego FC Western Conference Final! Grateful for this amazing team and the community around it. Go San Diego!! ⚽️

I was honored to join Veterans Day ceremonies in Mission Viejo and Solana Beach today.

Our region’s deep connection to the military is a source of pride and gratitude. Thank you to all who serve and to the families who support them.
