Presenting the “On-Time Caucus!” ⏰ Ready to tackle the mountain of bills today… just waiting for the “fashionably late” members to join us 😉 #CaLeg

Today the Assembly unanimously voted to pass AB 2323, which will ensure an accurate reflection of Native American History in the State Capitol and California. #CaLeg

Voting on hundreds of bills before the House of Origin deadline, but still keeping our Wednesday 'we wear pink' tradition alive! 👚 #PinkCaucus #CaLeg

On #HarveyMilkDay , we honor his legacy of courage and activism — a legacy that continues to inspire. I stand firmly with the LGBTQ+ community in District 64 and across CA in the pursuit of equality and acceptance for all.

Just two Californians looking forward to state and federal collaboration to improve the lives of our fellow residents. Wonderful to connect with Vice President Kamala Harris at a #CaLeg Democratic Caucus Reception. 🤝 #MadameVP

🏛️ It’s house of origin deadline week, and we’re keeping things efficient and transparent! ICYMI, I have a “cheat sheet” for all of our aye recos - right in the front lobby! Swing by and check if your bill made the cut ✅ (or if you need to do more homework! 😉). #CaLeg

AB 2283 just got the green light in the Assembly!🚦We’re ensuring that CA’s courts will be able to serve all consenting parties electronically and that documents reach their intended recipients. Next stop, the Senate.

Spent part of the afternoon surrounded by the artwork of some budding Picassos at the Access After School Program’s Student Art Showcase! 🎨🖌️ 600+ masterpieces from DowneyUnified’s finest. Big thanks to Stay Arts and Downey Foundation for Educational Opportunties for helping to nurture these creative minds.

Had a blast at Downey’s 3rd Annual Touch-A-Truck event! 🚒🚓🚛 I love seeing our community come together to explore and learn. Proud to have founded this event during my time as mayor. Thanks to everyone who joined us today! #TouchATruck

On the 6th annual #AAPI Day Against Hate & Bullying, we stand united against discrimination & violence. Since the start of the pandemic, nearly 11,500 cases of anti-AAPI violence have been reported. Let's continue to support and protect our AAPI community: stopaapihate.org

Congratulations graduates! 👏🏼 I had the privilege of speaking to and celebrating with the remarkable nursing grads at Downey Adult School yesterday evening. I commend each of you for choosing a career path that makes such a profound impact on so many lives. #ClassOf2024 🎓💉

Thank you to NAIOPSoCal for honoring me as your 2023 Public Partner of the Year at tonight’s gala! 🏆

Glad to report that several of my bills passed Appropriations, including measures to protect against rising utility costs and to create standards for law enforcement K9 programs. While the #IdentityIntegrityAct was held (again!), I remain committed to the cause. Onward! #CaLeg

Proud to champion #AB1160 , a bill I authored to protect students from the detrimental impact of institutional debt — debt owed directly to a college or university. Let’s #EndShadowDebt and ensure that all students have a fair chance to complete their education.

Grateful to the City of Downey - Government councilmembers who supported inclusivity last night, but still disappointed in the final result.

My thoughts on last night’s Neutral Flag policy vote in Downey 👇🏼

Turning the Capitol pink, one office at a time! #TheMoreTheMerrier #WhoWoreItBetter 😉

I spend most of the week in Sacramento due to the legislative calendar, so I’m incredibly grateful for our hardworking district staff who are out and about taking care of #AD64 , ensuring that our community’s needs are met while I’m up here! 🙌
