Folks,

@asmransom.bsky.social and I will be co-hosting a town hall on Wed., Jan. 14, on the Valley Link rail project.

Valley Link is a planned rail line that would connect commuters each day from San Joaquin County to the Dublin-Pleasanton BART station and beyond.

Hope to see you there!

I served with Congressman Doug LaMalfa for a decade in Washington. Doug was a good-natured colleague with whom you could respectfully disagree. He was a dedicated public servant who represented his district well, loved CA and the nation. Doug LaMalfa’s good humor and pragmatism will be missed.

Excellent! The Stockton Fire Department has been selected as an awardee of CA Water Service’s 2025 Firefighter Grant! The grant will go toward new wildland firefighting equipment and training. It’s great to see our water providers and first responders working together to prepare for emergencies.

ICYMI: Great news! A California appellate court has ruled unanimously that the state's deeply flawed financing plan for the costly and destructive Delta Tunnel Project is illegal.

Trump's plan to pump more water in California is ill-conceived and harmful, lawmakers say
The Trump administration announced a plan to pump more water in California's Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Democratic lawmakers condemn it as a 'political stunt.'

Although my office is not aware of any concrete proposals to convert the former federal prison in Dublin into a mass deportation center, I strongly oppose any such potential plans. As such, I support a city council resolution opposing any future plans for a deportation center in Dublin.

ICYMI: "Indiana Republicans withstood immense pressure from President Donald Trump, ignoring anonymous threats on their lives as they defeated his plan to redraw the state’s congressional map and dealt him one of his most significant political setbacks since his return to the White House."

"A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Wednesday to immediately end its current deployment of California National Guard troops in Los Angeles, ruling that the federal government had illegally kept them in the city long after intense street protests had ended in the summer."

Glad to see CA Atty. Gen. @robbonta.bsky.social is considering challenging Trump's dangerous decision to pump more water from the fragile Delta.

The White House water grab not only will damage the Delta but also could force the state to slash water deliveries to 27 million Californians.

I strongly oppose the Trump Administration's bad decision to pump more water out of the fragile Delta. The White House water grab not only will harm the Delta but could force the state to slash water deliveries to millions of SoCal residents.
