I am concerned by rising cases, but I don't believe the mask mandate will help efforts to stress vaccine efficacy and compel unvaccinated residents to get vaccinated. LA County should remain aligned with the State instead of creating confusion and disagreement at the local level.

Thank you to @WHNSC National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien & @SenMikeLee for meeting with me & #Armenian grassroots organizations & faith leaders for a roundtable discussion about the crisis in #Artsakh & the U.S. efforts to broker a ceasefire between #Armenia & Azerbaijan.

It’s that time of year: The super scoopers and the air-crane are in from Quebec! These incredible planes help our Los Angeles County Fire Department firefighters combat intense fires during especially dry and windy conditions. @LACoFDPIO @QuebecLA

I will not allow the #COVID ー19 crisis to cause Los Angeles County residents to lose their homes or businesses. I just made an Executive Order to halt residential and commercial evictions in our unincorporated communities from March 4 to May 31.

Truly enjoyed today's #LASD swearing in ceremony for our 34th @LACoSheriff , Robert Luna. He's committed to openness, collaboration and cultivating our @CountyofLA public's trust. He's got a dependable partner in me! #LASD #SupportPublicSafety

Our @metrolosangeles Board took action today to tackle unacceptable violence on our trains & buses. More law enforcement patrols on them is a start. But let me be clear: the violence is a symptom of dysfunction & failure to tackle root causes. Mental illness+substance

Outdoor dining is here to stay in L.A. County. Restaurants got creative by setting up on sidewalks, alleys, right-of-ways, & parking lots to serve customers. Through my motions with @SupJaniceHahn , restaurants can keep outdoor operations & others can start new outdoor programs.

I wholeheartedly support @MayorOfLA 's #homelessness emergency declaration & am happy this is Mayor Bass' 1st action. It compliments @CountyofLA 's own declaration of a homeless fiscal emergency, passed unanimously by our @LACountyBOS in Dec. 2016 that paved the way to Measure H.

Do you want to expand outdoor dining for your customers? L.A. County has free permits available for dining on sidewalks and parking lots, plus curbside pick up and drop off zones.

. @LACountyBOS just approved the @CountyofLA emergency #homelessness proclamation motion introduced by Sup. @LindseyPHorvath & myself. It will help us cut through red tape, accelerate our hiring of mental health professionals & streamline contracting services.

This morning, I met with @RepKatieHill to talk about joint efforts to serve foster youth, increase transportation connectivity, and help get those experiencing homelessness the services and housing they need. We care deeply about these issues and both love serving the AV and SCV.

LA County is grateful for a constructive conversation with @HUDgov @SecretaryCarson & @mayorofLA to discuss amplifying housing & services in our communities. To tackle the homelessness crisis, we need an all-hands-on-deck approach in collaboration with the federal government.
