Dear Neighbor, 

Today marks the beginning of our new fiscal year and I am proud to say that we’ve prioritized major investments exclusively for local services and projects in our district in this year’s proposed budget. More relief and protections for tenants and landlords are also now available through an extension of the eviction moratorium. Lastly, please make sure to check out these useful tips and reminders on how to get your passport for summer travel, how to celebrate safely this Independence Day, movies at the park and much more!

This week the state fully reopened, the California Legislature reached an early agreement on its version of the 2021-22 state budget, and Juneteenth and Independence Day are around the corner!

During the last three years as your State Senator and throughout my entire career, I have advocated for legislation and efforts to protect our environment, and in that work, I have seen the passion and dedication with which our communities are looking ahead, fighting for a livable planet and a healthier life for future generations—and yet, we have a long way to go.

This Women’s History Month it is my pleasure to recognize our Senate District 33 “Woman Making Herstory” Lucia Veloz, an outstanding leader in our community advocating for tenants' rights...

I am sending you this message to let you know about some exciting opportunities!

The winter holidays we love and cherish are here! As you wrap up your celebration plans, there’s a few updates and resources I’d like to share with you

This year, the beginning of Black History Month was marked with grief, anger and disappointment. As our nation mourned the loss of Tyre Nichols, we learned of yet another Black life lost to racism, systemic injustice and police brutality. I extend my sincere condolences to the friends and family of Anthony Lowe, and I want to express my full support, and commitment to the work that must be done to ensure we build a more just and equal future for all.

The New Year has begun and the Legislature is back in session!

Dear Neighbor,

On Tuesday, September 1, 2020 the California Legislature adjourned its two-year session, bringing a constitutionally mandated close to a historic and unprecedented legislative session.
