A fantastic morning at Shoreline Park in Mountain View today, celebrating the restoration of a 435-acre wetland habitat to support wildlife and improve public access to the Bay. (1/2)

Great to join @governor.ca.gov and colleagues for the bill signing for a $590 million emergency loan to support Bay Area Transit agencies that will protect service for hundreds of thousands of transit riders, and get hundreds of thousands of cars off of the road every day.

May this holy month bring renewal, reflection, and enlightenment. Ramadan Mubarak!

One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to occasionally be a tour guide for students visiting Sacramento from the district.  It was great to welcome the Latimer School from San Jose and show them their State Capitol! I am always impressed by our future leaders and their amazing questions!

Honored to be one of TURN’s 2025 Legislative Champions for my work to prevent IOUs like PG&E from using your hard earned money for political lobbying and PR campaigns. This year, I look forward to building upon our success to create a more affordable & sustainable CA for all.

It was uplifting to talk to the San Mateo County Youth Commission Civic Cafe yesterday. Their concern for others and for our democracy, their moral clarity, and their insistence that we must do more to push back against those who abuse power was truly inspiring. The future is bright!

Today on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the six million Jewish people and the millions of others who were systematically murdered in the Holocaust. (1/2)

A wonderful and historic night celebrating the swearing in of Santa Clara County Assessor Neysa Fligor, the first woman of color and first mom elected to a countywide leadership position in Santa Clara County!

I had my first serious talk with my six month old boy, Kaiden, on our walk this afternoon. May he grow up to have the same courage and moral clarity that Renee Good and Alex Pretti had to protect the vulnerable and stand up to the abuses of the powerful.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse. He is the second American citizen senselessly murdered by untrained, unneeded, unaccountable, unidentified government thugs who are terrorizing a U.S. city. He was legally monitoring government activity. He was legally carrying a firearm.

What an inspiring morning celebrating MLK Jr Day in San Jose with a tree planting with over 100 volunteers at Rainbow Park and volunteering at the community garden at Latimer School with dozens of students and parents. As MLK taught us, everyone can be great because everyone can serve.

Yesterday was one of the most special days in my 9+ years in the legislature, as I got to watch my dear friend Monique Limón get sworn in as the 50th President pro Tempore of the State Senate and the first mom and woman of color to hold the position. (1/3)

Wishing everyone in AD23 and across California a Happy New Year! While 2025 was a bit rough at times, I’m proud of the progress we made lowering utility bills, protecting consumers, strengthening worker rights, and improving our democracy.

Wishing a Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating. May your day be filled with joy, love, and kindness! 🎄

Today marks the first night of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights that reminds us of the power of hope and the resilience of the Jewish community. Wishing you all a celebration filled with peace, light, and courage during what might feel like dark and scary times. 🕎✨

The antisemitic terror attack on a peaceful crowd of Jews celebrating the first night of Hanukkah in Australia is horrific, heartbreaking, and totally predictable.

I’m overwhelmed with appreciation for everyone who donated to our Holiday Toy Drive! (1/2)

We had a wonderful community coffee at the famous Buck's Restaurant in Woodside on Friday morning! (1/2)

What a great morning in Saratoga! This was my 5th community coffee of 2025, and I’m always impressed to see so many community members show up! From wildfire mitigation to utility rates to supporting community college students, I love hearing directly from my constituents about what they care about.

As we enter the holiday season, charitable organizations and nonprofits are often lifelines to friends and neighbors in our communities who are struggling. (1/3)

15 years ago I had the chance to serve on the City of Palo Alto’s Infrastructure Blue Ribbon Commission, and our top recommendation was to build a new, seismically safe Public Safety Building. Yesterday the community got to celebrate the building’s grand opening. (1/2)

I was truly humbled to attend the San Mateo County Veterans Luncheon, honoring the brave men and women who have fought for our freedoms. It was inspiring to hear from five WWII veterans, one of whom was only 19 years old when he fought in D-Day. (1/2)

Our right to live in a free democracy is something we should never take for granted. Today, and every day, we honor the brave men and women who stood tall for our freedom. Thank you to all our veterans.

Trump’s blatant lie about the validity of our election and CA’s use of vote-by-mail is simply un-American.  I am proud to have written the law to make California a universal vote-by-mail state, and Trump's attempts to sow doubt in our voting system is dangerous to democracy — just like him.

Today’s my birthday, and my bday wish is for you to vote! Our democracy thrives when we all participate, so whether you vote by mail, drop off your ballot, or vote in person, make sure you vote. Visit vote.ca.gov to find your nearest polling location and make a plan to vote!

Today we are taking politics out of Californian’s utility bills and putting an end to the use of ratepayer funds for the political and promotional benefit of IOUs. (1/2)

So far in 2025, one person has been killed by gun violence every thirty-five minutes, which is absolutely unacceptable. I am proud to have partnered with @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov on AB 1078 to protect and strengthen California’s strong firearm laws and further prevent gun violence.

CA has one of the most accessible and secure voting systems in the country, and with the @governor.ca.gov signature on my bill AB 5, we continue to build upon this success. I am proud to author this new law to set clear and achievable deadlines & provide all voters with more faith in our elections.

Today marks a historic leap forward for fairness & dignity on the job for hundreds of thousands of California workers who will now have the opportunity to join a union. I am honored to stand alongside rideshare drivers across the state, who never gave up in fighting for progress in the gig economy.

Every year for High Holidays, my synagogue puts out a book of reflections - poems or passages that congregants have submitted that they found meaningful. My custom has been to read them on Yom Kippur in the afternoon, and these three really spoke to me this year. G’mar Chatima Tovah.

Today, we recognize and honor the history, culture, and enduring contributions of California’s first people. This day serves as a reminder of our shared responsibility to acknowledge the past, uplift Indigenous voices, and work toward a more equitable future.

Shana Tova! May the coming year be filled with peace, health, and sweet beginnings 🍎🍯

Our 7th Annual Family Health & Wellness Fair was a huge success! We gave away thousands of pounds of food, thousands of diapers, hundreds of backpacks with school supplies, and providers administered flu & Covid shots and dental & vision screenings.

Today, our nation honors the memory of the nearly 3,000 lives lost and the countless heroes who responded with courage and compassion on September 11, 2001. Twenty-four years later, we will never forget.

Devastated by the murder of Charlie Kirk, and terrified for the future of our country. We must have political disagreement without political violence, or else this country will be torn apart.

This Labor Day, California honors the hardworking individuals, who are the foundation of our state. At a time when workers across the country are under attack by the federal government, California continues to fight for the rights of all workers.
