District Reports

I hope your New Year is off to a great start. This month I introduced new bills to prevent wildfires and help disaster victims, expand preschool to all 4-year olds, and expand media literacy education. Governor Brown recently released his draft budget and gave his annual State of the State Address. I will be working to build our rainy day fund while investing in public services that are vital for the future of our state, like education and roads. We need to defend the progress we’ve made in recent years and continue moving in the right direction.

Dear Neighbor,

I hope you and your loved ones had a safe and happy Thanksgiving together. Given the devastating wildfires last month, Thanksgiving had an extra special meaning for our family this year.

This month marks the end of a legislative session and Governor Brown has until October 15th to sign the bills remaining on his desk.

For decades, Napa County has had an impact on the global economy through its world renowned wine industry. This industry would not exist were it not for the farmworkers who work the fields day in and day out. Since my time on the Napa County Board of Supervisors, I have always fought to ensure our farmworkers have the support they need, and I am proud to continue this good work into my career in the California State Legislature
