With Earth Day approaching, it’s time to once again reflect on what we can do to save the Earth. Perhaps we can switch to a refillable water bottle instead of buying water in single-use plastic beverage containers, which are made with petroleum and often end up as litter. We can also take public transit, walk or bike to places to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions.
I’m excited to announce that $14 million in Stop AAPI Hate grants have been distributed to 80 organizations throughout California to combat the rising number of attacks targeting members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.

As a UC Berkeley graduate, I know personally how life changing it can be to attend the most prestigious public university in the country. That’s why, as Assembly Budget Chair, I’ve made it a priority to ensure other Californians are granted that same opportunity. With increases in state funding, I have successfully pushed for additional slots at UCs and CSUs.
Winter is over and the sun is starting to shine; so come and join me for the following events this spring/early summer. Please RSVP for events you wish to attend and plan to wear a mask at indoor events.
As we head into spring, Omicron cases have been trending downward. Still, to minimize the spread of the virus, we need to encourage people to stay home when they or a family member contract COVID.
As we emerge from the pandemic and reopen our doors, I want to invite you to my first in-person Town Hall since 2019. This will be an outdoor event. I look forward to coming together with you to share my legislative priorities, describe the new laws that have gone into effect and hear your input on California’s future. As Chair of the California State Assembly Budget Committee, I also want to share how the Legislature and Governor are planning to spend the over $20 billion surplus.

Going to college can be expensive for many families in California. Making higher education more affordable has been one of my priorities in the Legislature. That’s why I’m excited to see the upcoming launch of the Californians for All College Corps.
It’s CalEITC Awareness Week! This week highlights the California Earned Income Tax Credit program, which could provide a sizeable tax refund to millions of individuals and families in our state.
