Happy Thanksgiving, Special Session, Holiday Open House
Dear Neighbor,
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to you for helping make a positive impact in Senate District 33. Whether you’re a local business owner, a parent, a dedicated advocate, a frequent volunteer, or simply a neighbor invested in our community, your dedication helps shape our future here and across California. It’s your voice, work, and advocacy that make our community resilient and strong.
At the Capitol, the Legislature will convene on December 2nd for the start of the 2-year legislative session and newly elected Senators and Assemblymembers will be sworn-in, officially commencing their legislative responsibilities.
The Senate will also convene a special session to safeguard California values and fundamental rights. The special session will focus on bolstering California legal resources to protect civil rights, reproductive freedom, climate action, and immigrant families.
In addition, please take a look at some holiday resources included in this newsletter, like turkey giveaways for Thanksgiving, and opportunities to stay connected, such as our upcoming Holiday Open House.
Wishing you and your family a warm, joyful Thanksgiving!
As always, if you need any other information or assistance, please contact my office at (562) 256-7921 or send us a message here.
