The Governor just signed AB 2222, the Community NEWS Act. Local newsrooms now get a tax credit to hire and keep journalists – the largest investment in local journalist jobs by any state. A free press keeps us informed and holds power accountable.

Today is suspense file day in Sacramento - the day hundreds of bills quietly move forward or quietly die. I'm making the case for the bills San Diegans sent me here to pass: lower costs, stronger privacy protections, and a fair shot for working families.

Three weeks left in the CA legislative session, and we're not slowing down. This is the stretch where bills live or die - from data privacy to housing costs to lowering your utility bills. I'll keep fighting to get San Diegans real results before the clock runs out.

Did you know companies can use your personal data to charge you more than someone else for the same product? I'm working to ban that deeply unfair and discriminatory practice in California with AB 2564. It's time to hold these companies accountable & make things more affordable.

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 America's 250th birthday is a chance to reflect on what it means to be American: looking out for our neighbors, standing up for what's right, and pushing this country closer to its promise of freedom and opportunity for all. Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

🎮 Legislative Spotlight: If you paid for a game, companies shouldn't be able to pull the plug without warning. As AB 1921 moves through the CA Senate, we're working to hold video game companies accountable by requiring advance notice and either a way to keep playing or a full refund.

📢 Legislative Spotlight: Your personal data shouldn’t be used against you. As AB 2564 moves through key Senate committees in the coming weeks, we’re working hard to stop companies from using your age, location, online behavior, and more to charge you extra.

Happy Pride, San Diego! 🏳️‍🌈 As we face renewed attacks across the country, it's more important than ever to celebrate this community, honor the generations of trailblazers that came before us, and recommit to building a future rooted in equality and opportunity for all.

It’s always an honor to join the community for the Annual Kensington Holiday at Home Memorial Day Parade! While we celebrate our neighborhood spirit, we also pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. #AD78

We’re just one week out from the June 2 CA Primary - if you haven’t returned your ballot yet, make your plan to vote now! 🚨Important: With recent USPS postmark timing changes, after today, it’s best to return your ballot at an official drop box to make sure your vote is counted.

San Diego, let’s talk Measure A. 🏠 With too many Californians struggling to find affordable housing, we can’t let homes sit vacant. Measure A creates a tax on long-term vacancies to bring homes back into use and support city services. Join me in voting YES on Measure A.
