Today, we reflect on MLK’s fight for equality and reaffirm our commitment to creating the country he dreamed of. His words, persistence, and endurance inspire us today and everyday.

I am a first generation Californian from a family of immigrant farmworkers. My grandfather came here because he believed in the California Dream and wanted to provide a better life for our family. Today, California has one of the largest economies on Earth because of immigrants

Thank you President Trump for visiting Los Angeles, seeing the fire catastrophe firsthand, and meeting with victims, local electeds and firefighters. We are grateful for your commitment to stand with California 100% without conditions on federal funds.

Thank you @osfm and the many thousands of out-of-state firefighters who've fought alongside CAL FIRE and California's local teams. The Golden State is grateful for your brave work.

I appreciate and thank Rob Bonta for his leadership here to protect California's students and families. I'm proud of California Assembly Democrats for carefully considering and then allocating additional funds to support legal push-back on DC-driven chaos. latimes.com/politics/story…

Through words and actions Elon Musk has proven he is unfit for public service of any kind. But if the President insists on giving him a role in federal government, Musk must fully divest from his companies and relinquish all corporate control—no exceptions, no loopholes. In a

I’m grateful that our Navy pilots are safe + San Diegans are safe. Also very concerned about the uptick in civilian and military crashes we’re seeing. I hope Congress and the White House are focused on air safety, not penny pinching to impress Elon Musk. usatoday.com/story/news/nat…

Conditions = withholding $$ from CA families whose homes and communities burned to the ground. That’s the Republican playbook on LA fires. politico.com/news/2025/02/2…

.Senator Alex Padilla and I will be supporting @CAGovernor's request for federal aid to recover and rebuild from the Eaton and Palisades fires. To deny it – or place conditions on it – would be to abandon people in their time of most need. People need help. We must act urgently.

Make America Affordable Again? Not going to happen with these tariffs. They'll drive up prices for workers and families. Californians deserve better than these chaotic political games. I expect Republicans—especially those in our Assembly—to hold their Washington allies

President Trump’s remarks show how vastly disconnected his policies are from our needs. Deporting workers and enacting tariffs will only achieve one thing: raising the cost of food and goods. No thanks. California is already great, we don’t need or want his agenda. #JointAddress

On behalf of the whole caucus, I want to extend condolences to Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo and her family. Taking action after a loss like this is the hallmark of a great public servant, and California’s veterans are lucky to have an advocate like Pilar on their side.
