District Reports

A Message from Bill Dodd

Dear Neighbor,

This month our region was hit by devastating wildfires, including the worst wildfire in our state’s history. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the fires.

State, federal, and local governments are working on recovery efforts, and resources are available to help those impacted by the fires. Examples include: unemployment benefits, debris removal, tax relief, business assistance, and housing assistance.

This month, children across our district are heading back to school, and in Sacramento the legislature will be considering key issues. I’m working to ensure we advance critical policies to the Governor’s desk to support our schools, working families, and seniors. You can learn more about key bills we’ve passed in this month’s newsletter.

This month, the Legislature passed and the Governor signed our state budget. Our budget reflects Californian values, investing in areas and programs that we know work.

A Message from Senator Bill Dodd

Dear Neighbor,

This month I hosted a series of immigration forums across the district. I have received hundreds of calls and emails this year from residents concerned about federal immigration action and immigrant rights, and I appreciate the hundreds of people who turned out to the events. If you were unable to attend, you can view a video of one of the forums here.

April is Earthquake Preparedness Month. We know that earthquakes can and will happen throughout our state. While we can't stop them, we can prepare.

In this Issue:

• Earthquake Safety
• Legislative Update: Protecting Consumers, Fighting Fake New & More
• Veterans Benefits and Job Resources
• California May Owe You Money: Find Your Unclaimed Property

As always, my office is available to help you with a state agency or answer any questions you might have. You can contact me by visiting my website.

Sincerely,

Bill Dodd Senator, 3rd District
