.Ya basta, la oscuridad de los corruptos de Fiscal General María Consuelo Porras debe de terminar. #JoseRubenZamora es solo culpable de informar al pueblo las acciones criminales del #PactoDeCorruptos

According to the Journal of Emergency Dispatch in September 2022 'upward of 25% of all emergency dispatchers tend to leave after a short period of time (less than a year), which earns the profession the high turnover classification.'

Today marks a major step towards gun violence prevention. A new rule from ATF HQ helps expand background check requirements & hold firearm sellers responsible. Congress must build on this progress and pass universal background checks to end the vicious cycle of gun violence.

Glad to see U.S. Department of Transportation starting this new transportation safety plan to protect transit workers & passengers alike. My PHASE Act would take this progress even further, strengthening pedestrian safety by funding technology & physical barrier safety innovations.

Clean water guarantees a healthier and safer future for #CA35 families. My bill with Rep. David Valadao, the Removing Nitrate and Arsenic in Drinking Water Act, would keep the #InlandEmpire safe from life-threatening contaminants.
