Honoring our veterans at the Redondo Beach Veterans Memorial on this Veterans Day. With Lt Col Tom Lasser (ret) of RB Veterans Memorial Task Force, Col Mia Walsh, Base Commander of LA Air Force Base, and Chaplain Threatt, director of El Camino College Veterans Center.

I presented a check for another $5 million to the City of Redondo Beach to acquire land where the AES power plant is currently situated. The money will go towards the development of a city park. The state has now provided $15M for this project. Congrats to Redondo Beach!

I toured the Metro C-Line extension and observed the differences between several proposed routes. They include one that follows Hawthorne Boulevard and the original plan following the right-of-way along the freight tracks.

I favor the original plan, which is the least expensive and fastest to build.

Thank you to the Metro Los Angeles staff for the tour.

As Chair of Assembly Education Committee, studying English Learner instructional best practices with SEAL at Edenvale Elementary School in San Jose.

Thank you Anya Hurwitz and Team SEAL as well as Oak Grove Superintendent Jose Manzo and staff for the classroom visits and great discussion!

Had fun visiting the Lakers' headquarters and training facility in El Segundo in my district last week.

Check out all the World Champion trophies and rings in owner Jeanie Buss's office!

Love the South Bay Lakers, their B league team.

Assemblymember Muratsuchi presented a big check at El Segundo City Hall for the construction of more electric vehicle chargers.

The City of Redondo Beach is a leader in the South Bay in getting the homeless into housing.

No one does this better than Lila Omura, who does homeless outreach and housing assistance for Redondo. She has dedicated her second career with a passion to help find housing for the unhoused. She knows Redondo's homeless by name, and many of them love and trust her, because she fights the bureaucracy for them. We spent the morning driving all over town, where she knows where to find them and asks them if they need help.

I learned a lot from being on the ground with Lila for just a few hours.

One woman shared her personal story of how she was struggling with addiction and living on the streets, and Redondo's homeless court and treatment programs turned her life around.

Lila is a South Bay hero, an angel for the homeless.

I joined City of Torrance homeless outreach coordinators Valerie Hernandez and Norma Olvera together with Dr. Victor Mleczko and Karen Lauterbach of the Venice Family Clinic mobile health care unit. They know who and where the homeless are in Torrance. We started at the tiny home village at the Civic Center, then went to South, North, and West Torrance. Many live in their vehicles. They ended the morning by finding a shelter bed in Wilmington for a homeless man in West Torrance. Thank you Valerie, Norma, Dr Victor and Karen for your dedicated and compassionate work.

Visited Congregation Ner Tamid of Palos Verdes today.

The South Bay Jewish community is hurting now, with many who have family and friends in Israel during this war against Hamas terrorists. We need to fight anti-Semitism - as well as Islamophobia - which are escalating across the US.

Thank you Rabbi Tzvi Graetz, CNT President Adam Feingold, and Executive Director Ellie Berkowitz-Handler for inviting me and sharing your concerns and feelings during these difficult times.
