Legislative Work on the LA28 Games

I am proud to represent our community as we prepare for this historic and inspiring moment for California. As a member of the Senate Special Committee on International Sporting Events: Olympics, Paralympics, and World Cup Soccer, I am working with the LA28 team and state and local officials to discuss planning for the Games, public safety, transportation and infrastructure needs, community and small business engagement, and more. I look forward to continuing to work with my fellow committee members and legislative colleagues to ensure that the LA28 Games have a lasting, positive impact on Southern California.

Ticketing for LA28 will begin with a ticket draw registration period opening on January 14, 2026, for Olympic events, and tickets for the Paralympic Games will become available in 2027. Fans can register for the ticket draw at no cost at the official LA28 ticketing page, and if selected they will receive a time slot to purchase tickets during scheduled “ticket drops” later in 2026.

Events and Community Celebrations in Senate District 33

Long Beach is expected to host 18 sporting events during the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games as well as several Team Houses and national hospitality houses, with opportunities for community celebrations and engagement throughout Senate District 33. Our waterfront, neighborhoods, and public spaces will help showcase the diversity, creativity, and hospitality of our region to guests from around the world. Residents will be invited to participate in community meetings and event announcements as planning continues, and these opportunities will help shape how the Games are experienced locally.
