Dear Friend,
If you travel southbound on U.S.-101 in Marin County, please be advised that Caltrans is repaving the stretch between the Spencer Avenue on-ramp and the Robin Williams Tunnel from now until Monday, March 18, at 5 AM. During this time, anywhere from one to three lanes will be closed.
Dear Friend,
Over the last two years, I have noticed a sharp increase in engagement from my constituents. Thank you for getting in touch with my office to express your opinions and concerns about state legislation and the state budget.
Your address shouldn’t dictate your diet. I hope to change that with the new $4.5 million Healthy Stores Refrigeration Grant Program, which I proposed and secured funding for through the state budget. The California Department of Food and Agriculture has begun accepting applications on its website. The deadline to apply is April 25.
I know a visit to the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) can try your patience with long lines and antiquated technology. While we have made progress in reducing wait times and implementing system upgrades, a new setback has emerged - many people who renewed their driver license online or by mail between September to February may not have received their card yet.
Dear Friend,
Please join me, State Treasurer Fiona Ma, Board of Equalization Chair Malia Cohen, Senator Scott Wiener and Assemblymember David Chiu for a Lunar New Year celebration welcoming the Year of the Pig.
Please join me and San Francisco Board of Supervisors President Norman Yee at a Lunar New Year Celebration this Saturday, February 9, 2019.
You’ve probably gotten some of those ridiculously long receipts while shopping - after buying only a few things, the store not only itemized your purchase, but the receipt also includes coupons, special promotions and surveys. Most of us don’t need a physical receipt, making the routine of printing one seem wasteful.
So much is at stake if Seton Medical Center closes, especially since 80 percent of its patients are low-income families and seniors.
Dear Friend,
Last year was an exciting one in Sacramento, and I look forward to a new year working with our new Governor.
Happy Holidays! I hope you enjoy your time with family and friends, making wonderful memories to cherish for years to come.
I’ve had another successful legislative year with several of my bills set to take effect on January 1st, including:
AB 87 - Autonomous Vehicles: Allows law enforcement to impound autonomous vehicles operating without proper permits to ensure road safety.
Dear Friend,
I'm honored to have been re-elected so that I can continue serving as your State Assemblymember, representing District 19 and being your voice in Sacramento.
While high school seniors across California fill out their college applications in the coming weeks, I feel hopeful about their futures. As Chair of the Assembly Budget Committee, I made sure we invested in higher education so young people can improve their economic mobility and businesses can build a stronger workforce. In fact, we’re at the point where cuts made during the recession have been fully restored with new investments to support opportunities for more students.
Students need a safe, modern learning environment in order to succeed. At my Town Hall meeting this month, I had the pleasure of announcing that I helped secure $4 million in state funding for A.P. Giannini, the city’s most populous public middle school. The funds will be used for much needed work to replace the uneven pavement in the play yard, update the electrical wiring in the gym, fix the leaky roof and more. San Francisco’s 2016 modernization bond doesn’t cover these improvements.
