Pledge to be counted! It's no joke; April 1 is Census Day. Take a few minutes now to fill out the Census online for your household, if you haven't already. When each person in every household is counted, California will get its fair share of federal funding for schools, health care, housing, transportation, and more. 

Now more than ever with the COVID-19 Pandemic, we know that completing the Census matters as it highly influences how much federal funding California receives for the below programs and more:

• Local Schools
• Special Education Programs
• Children's Health Insurance
• Food Pantries and Emergency Food Assistance Crime Victim Support
• Senior and Disabled Housing
• Child Abuse and Neglect Programs
• Support for Homelessness
• Preventative Health Services
• Head Start and Childcare
• Small Business Development Centers
• Water Pollution Programs
• Wildlife Grants
• Arts Programs
• Historic Preservation
• Farmers Markets
• Wildfire Recovery

Go to my website now to learn more or to pledge to be counted!

In addition, I will be continuing my twice-weekly virtual town halls with the next one scheduled for this Friday, April 3, 2020. You may view my last two virtual town halls from March 26 and March 23 as well.

Sincerely,
