It is my absolute honor and pleasure to serve as your California State Senator. As 2023 comes to a close, I wanted to highlight some of the accomplishments of my hard-working team as we continue to serve you and our 32nd District.

I am humbled by the faith and trust you have placed in me to be your representative in Sacramento. My priority has always been to serve and fight for important issues that impact our communities, and I will continue to ensure that your voice is represented at the State Capitol. 
  
As always, my staff and I will continue to be a resource for state agency assistance, legislation information, community recognition requests, and general updates about our State Government. 

I will continue to send informational email updates, and of course, you will see us around the district. 

Thank you.
