On Tuesday, I made a bad decision. Voting against legislation targeting really bad people who traffic children was wrong. I regret doing that and I am going to help get this important legislation passed into law.

Disturbed to hear about Punjab being cut off by the Indian Government. I stand in solidarity with our Punjabi community and all those calling for an end to this injustice.

The Indian Government has cut off internet access and free communication for nearly 30 million people in Punjab as they attempt to arrest one man. These are the tactics of regimes in North Korea and Russia. They have no place in a functioning Democracy.

I rose today with a heavy heart to adjourn in the memory of Supervisor Richard Valle. This loss is felt across the East Bay. He gave a voice to those most vulnerable in our community and was a true public servant. Rest in power Supervisor Valle.

I was proud to secure $2.5 million in the state budget for the Nimitz Motel project in San Leandro. This project will initially be an interim homeless navigation center. In 5 years, it will be converted into permanent supportive housing for the unhoused community. #AD20 #CALeg

I took part of the Joint Asm. Insurance & Emergency Management Cmte. Informational Hearing on catastrophe modeling. The California insurance market is facing a crisis. I am committed to working with my colleagues to make sure insurance is available and affordable in CA. #CALeg

#AB800 just passed in the Senate! We’re in the final stretch on this first-of-its-kind law to ensure all CA high school students learn their workplace rights. Too many young workers are exploited. My bill would educate youth on their rights as workers. #CALeg

#NoMasSobreCarga !!! @Seiuusww janitors call for State intervention in an industry plagued by economic exploitation, sexual violence, and backbreaking workloads. I was proud to stand with them at their rally earlier today. #JusticeForJanitors #AB2364 @JusticeforJans

It's unacceptable that hardworking state employees struggle to support their families while serving our state. We need to pay them a living wage, and ensure their well-being while fostering our communities. I stand with @SEIU1000 members. #RespectProtectPayUs
