A Message from Bill Dodd

Dear Neighbor,

Fall’s arrival marks the end of another busy legislative session. It was bittersweet for me – it was my last since I’m leaving office at the end of this year.

At the Capitol, a number of my bills advanced to address important issues such as wildfire safety, elder fraud protection and artificial intelligence regulation. Some measures have already been signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom while others are on his desk and await his pen by Sept. 30.

Dear Neighbor,

Summer’s here! I hope you and your family are enjoying all our wonderful district has to offer.

At the Capitol, we have passed a balanced budget that funds essential services such as education and wildfire safety while addressing our revenue shortfall. My own bills are advancing with a number already signed by the governor.

A Message from Senator Bill Dodd

Dear Neighbor,

May is a time to bask in the blossoming beauty of spring. On Memorial Day, it’s also a time to remember American military veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our country. Please keep these brave men and women in mind throughout the year.

Dear Neighbor,

During the month of April, I hope you’ll have a chance to get out and enjoy our beautiful district. Spring is in the air and recent rains have left verdant landscapes dotted with bright wildflowers.

In the Capitol, I am working on a number of proposals to improve life for all Californians, including my AI Accountability Act and bills to prevent elder financial abuse, among others.

Dear Neighbor,

Celebrating the history and achievements of African Americans is the focus in February as we observe Black History Month. The struggle for civil rights continues so we also recognize what still needs to be done. 

In case you missed it, watch a recording of my most recent virtual town hall when I spoke with U.S. Sen. Laphonza Butler and Congressman John Garamendi.

A Message from Senator Bill Dodd

 

Dear Neighbor,

I hope your new year is off to a great start. This month I’ve begun introducing new bills, including my AI Accountability Act, which would help create safeguards around the use of artificial intelligence. More bills are in the works to address critical issues such as education, public safety and wildfire preparedness.

A Message from Bill Dodd

Dear Neighbor,

As the holidays approach, I’d like to wish you and your family a joyous month and a happy new year.

With your support, we’ve achieved much over the past 12 months.  Fourteen bills I wrote -- from outlawing junk fees to making our California State University campuses safer -- were signed into law. There is still more to do, and I look forward to another productive year.
