Robert Rivas

Speaker Of The California State Assembly. Proudly Representing the 29th District.

[Robert Rivas @RobertRivas_CA]

My grandfather worked in the fields 18 hours a day, but the most important thing he cultivated was unity. It’s a force so powerful it can lift a kid like me from a farmworker’s house to Speaker of the California State Assembly.

[Mike McGuire @ilike_mike]

This budget year is tough, no doubt.

But the Legislature is hard at work to find solutions that will deliver an on-time balanced budget, and not erase the progress we’ve made for Californians.

Together, we’re going to get the job done for a stronger Golden State.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

We're cutting the budget deficit by $17.3 billion.

Today, along with legislative leaders, we signed an early action budget agreement that positions California to pass a balanced budget in June that protects key programs Californians rely on.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I'm not a young guy. That's no secret. But, here's the deal: I understand how to get things done for the American people.

Here’s the first ad of our spring media campaign.

San Francisco. Wow.

So grateful to the greatest Speaker of all time — @SpeakerPelosi — for joining us tonight.

Let’s go win this thing!

Such a great crowd in San Diego this morning as we kicked off day two of the California For All Tour.

My wife, Eve, is from San Diego (Torrey Pines grad) and we got a terrific hometown welcome!

Next stop ➡️ Salinas

Trump Republicans trying (again) to recall ⁦@GavinNewsom⁩ as a distraction from their failures in D.C.

Voters rejected this stunt before and they’ll reject it again.

This kind of gimmick only fires up Democrats to keep CA blue! https://t.co/gcI2erQDqz
