This year we made housing more accessible with two prohousing bills. We secured protection for patients in hospitals, & increased penalties for those who would seek to abuse them. We reduced the cost of delivering water to farmers. We secured fair, and equitable elections for Merced County.

October 12 is National Farmer’s Day! We give thanks to CA's farmers & farmworkers for their hard work in feeding America and our local communities. To increase affordable housing for CA farmworkers, I authored AB 457, The Farmworker Housing Act, which the Governor signed into law this week. #caleg

The Gov. has just signed AB 848, a penalty increase for those who abuse their position of power in hospitals and sexually batter patients. This, along with the Gov, signing the Medical Safety Chaperone Act earlier this week—means our entire Public Safety Bill Package has been signed into law!

The Governor has signed my bill AB 849: The Medical Safety Chaperone Act! I’m so grateful to all those women who stood up, spoke out, fought back—at a time in their life that was most difficult to do so, in the face of sexual assault.

I am heartbroken after learning about the death of Officer Barrantes. Our thoughts weigh heavily right now for the Barrantes family, their friends, loved ones, and the entire community of Chowchilla. This is an extremely difficult time for the Madera County region.
