Congratulations Door ToDoor Cleaners for your recent #GrandOpening in Santa Monica! Excited to see your expanding EV fleet that’s innovating mobile dry cleaning services in the LA region.
Grateful to have been recognized by @calandtrusts.org for our recent work that removes unnecessary red tape to more easily preserve land within our State Parks system - several state parks are already growing because of SB 630!

Exactly the type of result we were hoping for when we streamlined State Parks' ability to acquire land last year!

Thank you Kathleen for your lifetime of work making LA a better place!
Her work has developed and boosted local economies, supported marginalized and underserved communities, and brought together leaders in public & private entities to help make neighborhoods like Hollywood a better place to live, play, work, and visit.
I am thrilled to honor Kathleen Rawson, head of The Hollywood Partnership, as our 2026 Woman of the Year!
Kathleen has spent decades working in leadership roles for local nonprofit organizations.
Thank you CivicWell for another awesome policy conference, discussing how we work together to reduce fire risk in our state.
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and nice celebration at my Capitol Office! Appreciate my awesome staff in LA and in Sacramento for your support through everything year after year!
Today and every day, we're working for of our communities to meaningfully improve the lives of Californians everywhere.
We've got a busy year ahead of us in Sacramento! Excited to share a few of my bills and legislative priorities for 2026 that will:
- Improve community resilience, transparency, and ratepayer protections
- Support disaster survivors
- Expand access to insurance
- Protect the environment, and more!
Honored to have been recognized as a #ReproductiveFreedom leader in the Senate by ensuring Californians have access to needed healthcare and maintain autonomy over their bodies, lives, and futures.
Thank you @reproductivefreedomforall.org for the recognition.
California recently expanded the CalAssist Mortgage Fund to cover one year of mortgage payments, up to a total of $100,000 for residents rebuilding after a disaster.

#SB1301 will provide a real path for homeowners and renters to maintain their insurance coverage through increased transparency and required opportunities to remedy.
Californians face the 4th highest rate of nonrenewed home insurance in the nation, unnecessarily risking the livelihood and wellbeing of families across the state.
#SB1209 will close that enforcement gap to provide more timely solutions that will ensure policyholders are more appropriately covered and cared for.
For years, the CA Department of Insurance has been able to examine insurers' business operations and identify problems that deserve correction, but have lacked the enforcement authority needed to compel corrective action.
Mobilehome parks are the largest source of unsubsidized affordable housing in the nation.
Proud to have introduced #SB1092 and #SB1093 to strengthen protections that preserve this important homeownership opportunity and safeguard residents' rights post disaster.
Excited to be coauthoring #SB877 & #SB878 (Perez) to increase transparency & protections for insurance policyholders.
Californians deserve to know how their loss estimates are calculated, and they definitely deserve a more rapid resolution to their claim.

Grateful to be recognized by Hispanics In Energy as an exceptional leader in energy policy!
We have a busy road ahead of us as we aim to improve energy affordability, sustainability, and the resilience of our grid to meet the expanding needs of Californians across the state.
Proud to have earned a 100% score from @eqca.bsky.social for my 2025 voting record.
Today and every day, we must continue to build a world that is healthy, just, and equal for all LGBTQ+ people.
Let's use this moment to reflect on the scapegoating of a marginalized group that led to such atrocities - turning us against one another to distract from real solutions. We must learn from these lessons so we never repeat these mistakes. #NeverAgain
Today we honor the millions of people killed during the holocaust, and recognize the trauma that has been forever imprinted on an entire population.
Special thanks are due to our friends in Santa Monica who helped provide a temporary campus at the old Sears building which provided a welcoming environment for our displaced kids.
Thank you to administrative and local leaders who helped us get here. As students make their return, we need regular and transparent testing and monitoring of toxins so families can be confident their kids are learning in a safe and healthy environment.
An important milestone for displaced families and students. I hope returning to their home campus can provide a sense of familiarity and normalcy that has long been missed.

Federal leaders need to urgently de-escalate the tensions now before they provoke more avoidable and unnecessary violence and loss of life on American streets. #ICEOutNow
Joined Pro Tem Monique Limón, Speaker Robert Rivas, and Democratic leaders to stand in solidarity with Minnesota and condemn the atrocities committed by ICE agents that led to the death of two protestors.
A bill has been introduced in Congress that would move us backwards and re-enable the greenwashing of American consumers. Rep. Randy Weber must respect states' rights and CA's truth-in-labeling policy that provides corporate accountability and consumer confidence.
Honored to be recognized as a #CAHealthConsumerChampion for my voting record last year, fighting to increase affordability throughout California's health care system!
