Juan Acosta today was named a 2025 Pride Month Honoree for Senate District 3. Juan is still a young person but has already made significant contributions to the LGBTQ+ community. He is a content creator & mental health advocate who has spoken at the White House and coauthored a book with Lady Gaga.

I'm thrilled to report that the Legislature and Governor have agreed on a $45-million budget allocation to stabilize Sonoma State University and give it the ability to reshape itself so it's attractive to students in the decades to come.

Consistent state funding has helped cities and counties all over the state reduce the number of people living on the street. I'm glad we were able to reach an agreement with Gov. Newsom to include $600 million for homelessness in the 2025-26 budget.
