I rose on the Assembly floor for AB 2156, Farmworkers Day. My father was a farmworker, and I know their work is the backbone of our economy. We must honor them with dignity, accountability, and the respect they’ve earned. 🚜✊🏽 #AD80 #FarmworkersDay #California
Walking through Capitol Park thinking about Congress authorizing war.
No clear strategy.
Real human cost — las víctimas.
$11B spent in just one week.
Congress made a mistake. We should be investing in our communities and pursuing diplomacy.
Porque sí se puede.

AB 107 matters. It cuts through administrative barriers so Prop 4 dollars reach every corner of California faster. For us in San Diego, this means resources for the Tijuana River Valley crisis can flow without delay. Proud the Assembly voted 59-3 to move this forward. #AD80 #SanDiego

I've lived near our coast my whole life. Watched families build lives around it. Now DC wants to risk oil spills for pennies while our coastal economy brings in $51B. We're pushing back hard. California's coast isn't for sale. #AD80 #ProtectOurCoast

We're working to bring a 4-year university to Chula Vista. Why? Because our region is growing fast, 25,000+ new jobs coming in the next decade!
