Welcome to the State Capitol El Camino College!
This morning I listened to local businesses talk about rising retail theft at the Torrance Chamber of Commerce. I met with Torrance Bakery, Scott Robinson Honda, Costco, and Arjay Plaza.
I am working on legislation to hold repeat retail theft offenders accountable. Stay tuned.
Thank you to the Japanese American National Museum and the Mineta Family for inviting me to the unveiling of the Noman Y. Mineta Democracy Plaza last Friday.
I first met Secretary Mineta when I attended UC Berkeley in 1988. He was such a pillar in the Japanese American community. He was a proud public servant, and I am grateful to have been able to honor him on this special occasion.
Welcome to the State Capital, California State PTA! Thank you for all that you do for our kids!
Met with local Jewish residents at Congregation Ner Tamid in Palos Verdes to discuss dramatic rise in antisemitism in recent years. We discussed how our public schools can do more to educate all students about the Holocaust and the long and tragic history of antisemitism. I am committed to fighting hate against any and all of our diverse communities.
Gardena-based Okinawa Association of America New Year's Celebration!
Providing community for generations of Okinawan Americans, this wonderful organization was my 2023 Nonprofit of the Year.
Had a great meeting with California Federation of Teachers representatives in Sacramento yesterday.
We discussed their legislative priorities, such as CTE teachers, climate resiliency for schools, technology in education, and the Governor’s January proposed budget.
Beautiful Saturday at Gardena's 41st Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade. Thank you to the City of Gardena and the MLK, Jr. Cultural Committee for continuing this great South Bay tradition honoring a man who fought for justice and civil rights for all. Great to see Congresswomen Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee as well as the Gardena City Council!
I attended a press conference hosted by the California Contract Cities Association about retail theft in California.
I will re-introduce a bill this session to hold repeat retail offenders accountable. Last session, I introduced AB 1708, which would have allowed a felony or misdemeanor charge for any person with two or more convictions for theft-related offenses and who is subsequently convicted of petty theft or shoplifting.
Most Californians support amending Prop 47 and desire a balanced approach to address retail theft.
Celebrated with the El Segundo Unified School District (ESUSD), City of El Segundo - Government and community at the dedication ceremony of Richmond Street School Six Classroom Building. A $15 million dollar project standing at 7,500 square feet, it truly takes a community to make such a monumental endeavor happen. Congratulations to ESUSD and the El Segundo community once again!
