Today I joined 33 fellow CA legislators opposing a federal plan to ban states from regulating AI for 10 years. This would erase protections against AI-generated CSAM, deepfakes of kids, and harmful chatbots. Innovation needs trust—not a regulatory void.

I’m saddened by the passing of Supervisor Federal Glover, a dedicated public servant and a champion for our community. His legacy of hard work, integrity and compassion will live on in the countless lives he touched. Rest in peace, Supervisor Glover. Your impact will be felt for generations to come.
