No president or candidate is above the Constitution — period. SB 46 prevents a presidential power grab and enforces two-term limit for presidents. Read more here: sd34.senate.ca.gov/news/senator...

Another meaningful moment from today’s State of the State was having the honor to join the California Supreme Court Justices, a group that truly sets the bar high.

Today’s State of the State was extra special with the surprise appearance of Dolores Huerta, the legendary labor leader and civil rights activist. Her lifelong advocacy for farmworkers, immigrants and justice has inspired generations. I’m proud to call her a longtime friend.

This package is about accountability, fairness, and making sure Californians are protected as our systems and technologies change. Read more here: sd34.senate.ca.gov/news/senator...

Thank you Senator Archuleta @senatorumberg.bsky.social @asmlowenthal.bsky.social Assemblymember Quirk Silva, Calderon, Gipson, and Solache for standing with UFCW 324 members 100% of the time! Assemblymember Phil Chen also scored high on issues important to UFCW 324's workers!

Excited to be back in session. We have a busy year ahead with a lot of challenges, and my colleagues and I are ready to get to work and meet those challenges. Looking forward to 2026!

This past year, we made great progress, including expanding CARE Court, criminalizing election lotteries and eliminating harmful infinite arbitration clauses. Even with those strides, there is still much work ahead.

California is improving CARE Court to help more people get the mental health support they need. Read more about this important update here: calmatters.org/housing/home...

Celebrating Chief Frank Nunes as he signed out for the final time after 32 years of service. Whether as a Marine, a police officer or Chief, Frank Nunes has consistently led by example. Thank you, Chief Nunes, for your decades of dedicated service.

A wild day at the Santa Ana Zoo celebrating the opening of the River’s Edge exhibit! Loved meeting the newest otter duo and seeing the new monkey habitat come to life. Thanks to Santa Ana Parks and the Friends of the Santa Ana Zoo for investing in spaces that inspire our community.

Thank you Senate President pro Tem Monique Limón for the opportunity to continue this important work. sd21.senate.ca.gov/press-releases

Wishing everyone in our community a holiday season filled with joy and peace. Merry Christmas!

A great day in Santa Ana celebrating the completion of Phase II at Santiago Park. Thank you to the City of Santa Ana and the California Coastal Commission for investing in open spaces and keeping our parks vibrant.

There are moments when silence is not an option. My wife, Robin, a retired Brigadier General, and I, a retired Army Colonel, have spent our adult lives in uniform and in public service.

Team Umberg joined the City of Fullerton to celebrate the completion of Phase II of the Union Pacific Trail. Years of community advocacy and collaboration made this long-awaited milestone possible. Congratulations to the City and the residents who helped bring this project across the finish line.

My team and I look forward to Santa Ana’s Tamale Fest every year - nothing beats the great food, good friends and the strong sense of community. Thanks to the folks who put in the work to make it such a special gathering!

Happy Chanukah! Wishing everyone a bright Festival of Lights filled with joy, family and plenty of latkes.

Important coverage of how federal action could reshape AI regulation in California: calmatters.org/economy/tech...

Fortunate to join my colleagues and Speaker Rivas to celebrate new state funding for immigration services here in our community through Catholic Charities. This administration continues to target people with no criminal record who are simply trying to build better lives for their families.

Trump’s half-baked AI executive order will block states from protecting children and families while offering zero safeguards. Rather than “removing barriers,” this order creates a reckless free-for-all that puts kids at risk.

Bringing our community together each year is one of the true highlights of this job, thank you to everyone who joined us last night and donated over hundreds of toys for families in need.

Grateful to everyone who joined us at our annual District Holiday Party. Your generosity helped us collect more than hundreds toys for families in need. It was wonderful to share the holiday spirit, connect with neighbors and update our community on what Team Umberg is working on for the year ahead.

Fullerton is home to extraordinary women driving change through their businesses, nonprofits, and community work. It was a privilege to recognize this year’s honorees at the Women’s Leadership Forum—thank you for the impact you make every day.

Congratulations to Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California on their new home in Anaheim - with one of the largest API communities in California, AJSOCAL's presence in OC will be a tremendous help to our community members!

Grateful to the experts who joined our joint Judiciary and Assembly Privacy Committee hearing to discuss how AI is transforming copyright law and California’s creative workforce. California must continue leading with policies that protect creators while supporting responsible innovation.

Joint hearing on AI & copyright happening now — join us live ➡️ www.senate.ca.gov/media-live-e...

November was a busy month of community events and coming together — sharing a few highlights and wishing everyone a joyful start to the holiday season! sd34.senate.ca.gov/news/novembe...

This is beyond shameful. Pete Hegseth should be absolutely ashamed. The idea that we’d authorize killing civilians — again — shows he’s never bothered to read real history. We’ve seen this before in WWII. You don’t target innocent people. Ever. thehill.com/homenews/562...

From my family to yours, wishing you a happy safe and restful Thanksgiving!

Proud to be one of nearly 300 lawmakers standing together to oppose harmful AI preemption language in the NDAA and protect states’ ability to safeguard our communities.

Join me and the District 34 team on December 10th for our annual Community Holiday Party & Toy Drive! Bring an unwrapped toy to support local families and don’t forget your best ugly holiday sweater. Looking forward to celebrating with you! RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I was proud to sign this letter alongside colleagues from California and across the nation, calling on the Trump administration to allow states to craft their own AI regulations.

Read my statement on Trump's executive order to block state AI laws here:

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth may view the military as their own personal police force, but in California, our National Guard must continue to honor their duty and refuse to follow any and all illegal orders.

Yesterday, Senator Menjivar and I held a joint Health and Judiciary Committees informational hearing on early CARE Court implementation. Read more and watch the full hearing here: sd34.senate.ca.gov/news/senate-...

Our Veterans Day celebrations continued in La Habra, where Robin and I joined the community for the city’s annual Veterans Day event.

We kicked off Veterans Day by joining the City of Buena Park for their Veterans Honor Luncheon and Resource Fair. This annual event lifts up the local heroes in our own community, including Crescent Little League’s own Gunnery Sergeant Marco Velarde, Jr.

Thank you to the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce for inviting me to this year’s State of the City. It was inspiring to hear about the progress Santa Ana has made, and I look forward to the work and opportunities ahead.

Congratulations to the City of Santa Ana on breaking ground on the city’s first dog park. Slated to open in March 2026, the new Centennial Park space will soon be a go-to spot for dog owners across the community. Thank you to the advocates who made this possible!

Honored to speak at OC’s California Connects Summit about the power of collaboration between our state, businesses, non-profits and volunteers. Grateful for the local leaders finding new ways to give back to our community.

Today, we come together to honor and celebrate the lives of those who have gone before us. Día de los Muertos is an important tradition for many in our district and our office as well. Our tribute honors loved ones and reminds us that love lives on in our hearts and memories.

Jack and Sally joined the Anaheim Halloween Festival and Parade, turning downtown into a nightmare of color, costumes and community fun. A frightfully fun way to wrap up October — Happy Halloween, everyone! 👻
