Dear Neighbor,

At the Capitol, we’ve reached the deadline to introduce new legislation, and I’m excited to share about my 2025 bills with you. This year, I’ve introduced:

We are living in a time when many of our civil liberties and the foundational values of diversity, equity, and inclusion are not only being challenged but also misrepresented.

The beginning of 2025 has been tough for many families, friends, and neighbors across our state.

As our neighbors most impacted by the ongoing fires face incredibly difficult circumstances, I am grateful to all our brave firefighters and first responders who responded quickly to the call of duty and are working hard to help protect our communities.

Dear Neighbor, 

I hope your holiday season has been filled with joy, surrounded by friends and loved ones, and that you’re starting the year energized and ready to continue our collective work to strengthen our community. 

The New Year brings a sense of renewal and opportunity—a perfect time to reflect on our accomplishments and focus on the possibilities ahead. In this issue, we’ll look back at key moments from 2024 and share important highlights of what’s to come.

Dear Neighbor,

As we near the end of 2024, I’m incredibly grateful to have served another year as your state Senator and honored to begin a new four year term as your representative in Sacramento. 

I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend with your loved ones! As we dive into this final month of the year, we’re gearing up for a strong start to 2025.

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. 

Every October, we celebrate Filipino American History Month, recognizing the profound contributions of Filipino Americans to our state and nation. Established in 1992 and officially recognized by Congress in 2009, this month highlights the vital role Filipinos play in shaping the U.S. cultural, economic, and social landscape.

I hope you're enjoying the cooler weather as we ease into fall, with all the memory-making moments it brings, such as, apple picking, pumpkin carving, and the stunning colors of autumn. It's a season full of charm!
