I just met a worker who is a single mom & who’s 2 jobs are still not enough to make ends meet. She still has to get public assistance and is on the verge of eviction. Our homelessness crisis is driven by low wages and housing insecurity. Real solutions must take on all drivers.

We create a safer California when we celebrate, respect & honor our diversity. When opposition turns into hate and violence, we must all stand in unity - especially when it’s to support our kids. I stand with the LGBTQ+ students in Glendale and throughout CA.
What should've been a routine vote in Glendale to simply recognize Pride Month turned to violence. With hate on the rise nationally, we must rise together in California to affirm that in the Golden State, no matter who you are or what diverse community you are from, you belong.

Skyrocketing gas prices meant Californians pinched pennies while oil execs cashed in on millions in stocks & big oil raked in the profits. We need to shed light on why CA is always getting gouged. It’s not ok, and its time we identify bad actors and hold them accountable.

One of the most requested items from people experiencing homelessness is an ID. You need an ID to get a job, housing, and receive services. That’s why the first bill I ever introduced was #AB464, to reduce the barriers for those in need to access and ID & public documents.

Today we #WearOrange. Keeping our communities safe from gun violence is a political choice. But lawmakers are falling in line with the gun lobby because of the money they give them rather than listening to the priorities of the majority of Americans, so we get what we have now.
