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.

*Please note: California Academy of Sciences has safety protocols regarding vaccine and booster requirements and masking that attendees must follow, visit their website to learn more. If you have a medical or religious exemption to vaccines, please send documentation of your exemption to Legal@calacademy.org no later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 3, 2022, and include "Vaccination Exemption Request" in the subject line.

You must RSVP to attend and include your contact information. As always, it is a privilege to be your Assemblymember. I hope to see you there and hear your questions and ideas about how the state of California can further help our community. If you need assistance or have any questions, please call my district office at (415) 557-2312.

I encourage you to attend my next virtual town hall meeting to hear updates on the budget and new laws that will go into effect now that we have finished our legislative year in Sacramento. Through the state budget, I was able to secure nearly $12 billion to fund homelessness programs, including measures to prevent homelessness in the first place; this includes $47 million for San Francisco and more than $4 million for San Mateo County. We also provided $180 million to increase UC and CSU enrollment by 15,000 in-state students, and we increased per-student TK-12 spending to a record high of $21,000.

I also was able to secure more than $40 million dollars in the state budget for projects in San Francisco and northern San Mateo County. In addition, Governor Newsom signed six of my bills into law that focus on health, environment and the criminal justice system. Click here for information on my 2021 legislation.

As we ramp up for the next legislative year, come share your concerns and ideas regarding what the state can further do for San Francisco and San Mateo County.

I am proud to announce that my annual bike safety fair is returning after taking a year off due to the pandemic. This event, as in years past, will be held outside. We will also be following COVID safety protocol. These include: requiring masks for all participants over the age of 2, requiring phone numbers of all attendees for potential contact tracing, and prohibiting those with COVID symptoms from attending the event.

Please bring the whole family; kids of all ages can get training on how to ride a bike safely, learn about the Safe Routes to School program, and hear about legislation that affects our community.

Bringing your own bike is encouraged, but there is NO NEED TO BRING A BIKE. Bikes will be available to borrow.

This event includes: bicycle obstacle course for safety training; bike riding lessons; bike safety adjustments and repairs; helmet giveaway and more. Thanks to our partners: YBike, Aptos PTSA, San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, WalkSF, Bay Area Bike Mobile and Ocean Cyclery.

Public Transit: K-Ingleside Muni light rail at Aptos Ave.

Please note, only folding bicycles are allowed on light rail cars. Help spread the word by printing the flyer below! For any questions, please contact my district office at (415) 557-2312.

I’m thrilled to join Supervisor Connie Chan in hosting the Fifth Annual San Francisco Richmond District Autumn Moon Festival.

We are back this year with a street festival on Clement Street! The Autumn Moon Festival is a time to reflect upon the bounty of the summer harvest, the fullness of the moon, and the myth of the immortal moon Goddess, Chang-O. This year, the Autumn Moon Festival will be a family-friendly event that serves community members affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and reminds the Richmond community about coming together in times of difficulty.

Sound fun? Then please join us:
