Thanks to #SJWater, more families will be able to meet their needs this holiday season. I was proud to present 100 Safeway gift cards to Martha’s Kitchen as they work to meet the growing demand for food assistance. Everyone deserves a warm meal. #OperationGobble #CalWater

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.

The students Trump is attacking live in California, graduated from California schools, pay taxes in California and pay the same tuition as everyone else. Trump’s ignorance is matched only by his big mouth.

Assembly Select Committee on Climate Innovation and Infrastructure in Healdsburg. We had three good panels on green hydrogen, wave energy desalination, and marine permaculture - with a good discussion about the regulatory environment and the market demand for each.

Honored to celebrate with this incredible group of leaders last week at Emerge California’s “Women Leading the Way” event. Standing alongside Malia Cohen, Betty Yee, Rhodesia Ransom, and Mia Bonta reminded me how far we’ve come, and how important it is to keep fighting for equal representation.

Today, SCOTUS tossed out a bogus case from a close-minded city clerk trying to repeal same-sex marriage protections Given Clarence Thomas’s history of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric & fishy secret financial dealings, our community is relieved that the Court refused to entertain his extremist views. #SCOTUS

Our thoughts are with our veterans and their loved ones today. We will never forget your selflessness and sacrifice.

Dropped by Samaritan House to deliver some food supplies. Many local residents are struggling with the interruption in SNAP benefits and many were already struggling with the high cost of living here. We can all help by donating food or funds - info here: samaritanhousesanmateo.org/ways-to-give...

Government working ❌ Tell me again what this guy does? What a 🤡

The work continues. While MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump use hunger as political leverage, we are stepping up. Thank you Assemblymember Mark González (@asmmarkgonzalez.bsky.social) and everyone who made today’s food drive possible at the East Los Angeles YMCA.

A beautiful November day in San Diego to break ground on the new CRP Affordable Housing & Community Development project in the Grantville community! This facility will offer 48 affordable units for individuals and families. It will also host a childcare facility for the residents to use.

Great visit to #IndustrialLight&Magic — home of E.T. & Star Wars. 🎬✨ As a lead author of #AB1138 #CAFilmAndTVJobsAct with @benallenca.bsky.social, I’m working to keep jobs like these—and movie magic—right here in CA.

TY to all those organizations & individuals who took part in this years' Be Prepared-Safety Fairs. It's never too late to get prepared for a disaster.

Grateful to the Westside Food Bank for inviting me to their 35th Annual 5K Hunger Walk! Thank you for all you do to support those facing food insecurity on the Westside of Los Angeles County — especially now, as delays in SNAP benefits leave even more families vulnerable to hunger.

Turns out getting into power to wreck the country isn’t popular! Every county shifting away from Trump in VA is a sign of what’s to come: the MAGA radical regime is about to be thrown out

Another incredible Governor-elect and Democratic victory! Congratulations!

This is a great day for every Californian and for every American who believes our democracy is worth defending. Donald Trump tried to rig the rules. California just told him: not now, not ever. #Yeson50 #California #CALeg

Had a great time joining the Armenian National Committee of America – Western Region and community leaders for this year’s Annual Awards Gala 🇦🇲✨
