It was an honor to welcome @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social to the SGV for a roundtable discussion on the intersection of healthcare and immigration with leaders from across the SGV and Southern California. Conversations like these are critical to ensure CA continues to respond with meaningful solutions.
Speaker Robert Rivas
@caspeakerrivas.bsky.social
Speaker of the California State Assembly. Proud to represent the 29th Assembly District. Campaign account.
Former State Attorney General and HHS Secretary, and now gubernatorial candidate, Xavier Becerra, expressed a commitment to ensure Hollywood and California’s film industry workers continue to thrive if he is elected. #california #hollywood #politics
Proud to stand with the Japantown community, SJ Nikkei Resisters, and many others yesterday to oppose the proposed ICE detention center in Gilroy and to honor those killed by ICE. Trump’s campaign of fear doesn’t make us safer. It weakens the communities that make America stronger. #NeverAgainIsNow
Trump’s tariffs are putting an increased burden on families during back to school season. Congress needs to take action and end Trump’s taxes on American consumers that are making everything more expensive.
In response to ICE’s predatory tactics, the California State Assembly has passed 22 bills to hold ICE agents accountable for their actions. #CALeg
While Trump holds bipartisan housing legislation hostage, California Assembly Democrats and I are accelerating housing production and solutions for every Californian and their family. #CALeg
Trump says he 'will not sign' bipartisan housing bill, but doesn't threaten veto either
The housing bill can still become law overnight without the president's signature.

California is under threat. Every day, the Trump Administration is coming after our healthcare, our families, and our values. There’s no time to learn on the job. We need a governor who’s ready to fight back on Day One. That’s why I’m proud to endorse @xavierbecerra.bsky.social for Governor.
Happy Birthday, Dolores! Your life’s work has lifted up generations of farmworkers and families, including mine, across California and beyond. Thank you for your courage, your leadership, and your unwavering belief in the power of people to create change. ¡Sí se puede!
