Welcome McNally family of Hermosa Beach to the State Capitol! Daughter Paige, a Redondo Union High School student, brought a lot of positive energy and smiles to the Assembly Chamber. That’s her message in the back. Parents Jennifer and Greg wanted me to know that Redondo High teacher Jeff Rosadini has made a huge difference in Paige’s life and education. Thank you to nice people like Paige and Mr Rosadini for making the world a better place.
#AB2432 to support neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) passed the Legislature unanimously!
I’m joint author of this bipartisan bill with Assemblywoman Suzette Valladares. The bill is sponsored by the South Bay Cities Council of Governments.
Lunch at Red Car Brewery in Torrance with longtime Torrance Education Foundation board member Robin Taub Comer and Red Car owner and Torrance Chamber Board Chair Laurie Brandt. The Red Car 20th anniversary commemorative burger, the Juicy Lucie, was delicious!
As Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on Aerospace, I toured the Los Angeles Air Force Base in El Segundo with my colleague Assemblymember Mike Fong from the San Gabriel Valley. LA Air Force Base is headquarters to the newly created US Space Force's Space Systems Command. They procure billions of dollars of space and cybersecurity technology so they are a powerful economic force in the Southern California aerospace industry.
Toured Gardena Memorial Hospital and learned about their services from CEO Patrick Caster. 60 percent of their patients are on MediCal, with most coming from the Gardena area. The South Bay is fortunate to have so many hospitals in the area.
Great South Bay Pet Adoption Fair today at Torrance’s Wilson Park! Thank you to the many families who adopted a new family member today! Thanks to sponsors Carson Animal Shelter and ASPCA.
Yesterday was a beautiful day at Bruce's Beach in Manhattan Beach!
The beachfront property that was wrongfully taken from Black owners Willa and Charles Bruce more than a hundred years ago was returned today to the Bruce family.
I am proud to be a leader on the future of Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs). My bill, AB 2432, would allow any city in County of Los Angeles to create their own NEV transportation networks including signage, dedicated lanes, and street markings. These small, zero-emission vehicles are a great option to reduce congestion and increase parking capacity for many of the routine trips that people take around town.
Today, I toured the City of El Segundo with Mayor Drew Boyles and members of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG), who showed me how the City plans to incorporate NEVs into their road network. I want to thank Mayor Boyles, Mayor Pro Tem Chris Pimentel, SBCCOG Executive Jacki Bacharach, SBCCOG Chair John Cruikshank, and SBCCOG Senior Project managers David Leger and Aaron Baum for organizing this tour.
I look forward to getting AB 2432 signed into law this year so that cities across LA County can revitalize their local travel networks!
I toured Sling, a local business at the Torrance Airport. They manufacture and maintain small propeller planes in Torrance and train commercial pilots through their pilot license academy there.
I met co-owners Matt Liknaitzky and Jean d'Assonville who shared their great passion for flying. Matt also lives in Torrance and emphasized how Sling is working on noise mitigation and being good neighbors.
I also tried their new flight simulator. Good fun flying over the beautiful South Bay, but I don’t think I'll be flying any time soon! Thanks to Jim Gates, member of the Torrance Airport Association, for joining us.
