API Heritage Month Honoree

I posthumously honored Dr. Kanji Sahara of Torrance at the California Legislature’s Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month ceremony this past week.

Kanji was the driving force behind the World War II Camp Memorial being built in Torrance to remember the over 120,000 Japanese Americans who were wrongfully incarcerated in internment camps during the war.

Representing Kanji is his daughter Judy and her husband Ben, and Kanji's grandchildren Kaitlyn, Kristin, and Nicole.

Dual Enrollment Workshop at El Camino College

I held my third dual enrollment workshop at El Camino College this weekend. Dual enrollment provides students the unique opportunity to take free community college classes while still in high school. It was a great event with many students signing up for dual enrollment classes after the event. Many thanks for El Camino College President Brenda Thames and staff for their partnership.

May Day

On May Day, or International Workers' Day, I stand in solidarity with our union members. May Day is a day to highlight the necessary work that many union members do. They are working men and women who help to make California strong each and every day.
