The 2026 legislative session has concluded. The last 2 weeks have been filled with very long days of briefings, debates, and voting. We got through it with the help of legislative spirit week, birthday cake, and camaraderie.

AB 1267 has passed the Assembly and is headed to the Governor’s desk to be signed into law. If signed, California will finally set 18 as the minimum age to marry, ending a practice that has affected thousands of kids, most of them girls married to adult men.

Trump has been making baseless accusations about our state’s election integrity for years, and this is one of many efforts to make it stick before the midterms.

Grateful to AG Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber for standing up for California voters. Today, they filed suit to overturn Shasta County’s Measure B, which conflicts with state law and threatens to disenfranchise voters.

Two weeks ago, #SCOTUS eviscerated #VotingRightsAct protections. With that green light, states are moving quickly to set the clock back 60 years on civil rights. We must be loud, persistent, and unwavering in protecting the hard-fought rights that strengthen our #democracy.

Thanks for a great meeting today @asmgailpellerin.bsky.social & your advice to mail our ballots at least a week before the primary to ensure they are postmarked on time, drop it off in a secure ballot box near you or bring it to a voting site on election day. We learned so much about CA elections!
