California's wildfire destruction has reached a tipping point, and we must do more to incentivize effective home hardening and community action. The passage of these bills marks a major step forward in California’s shift toward proactive wildfire preparedness!

October is #FirePreventionMonth, and there's been a major victory for California’s wildfire preparedness! Governor Gavin Newsom has officially signed AB 1934, AB 1960, and AB 1964 into law.

I am proud to deliver $2 million in state funding to support the City of Ventura’s Main Street! Downtown is the heart of Ventura. By investing state dollars into pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, we’re making sure it remains a vibrant and welcoming destination for our community.

As we celebrate Latino Heritage Month, we recognize that California’s 15.6 million Latino residents are essential to our state. I appreciate the hard work of the legislature's Latino caucus as they champion legislation to protect the rights and well-being of this vital community.

Voters have a right to cast their ballot, free from intimidation tactics. AB 2230 (2025-26, Avila-Farias) would protect voters and children by restricting federal law enforcement presence near polling places & prevents ICE from entering nonpublic childcare areas without required docs like warrants.
