I’m ready to get to work with my Assembly and Senate colleagues to make sure we deliver real results that bring stability to gas prices for hard-working Californians.

This is California's opportunity to lead on protecting patients from potential adverse effects of private equity's transactions in health care. Their focus is profits for their companies--my focus is patients access to affordable & quality health care. Which do you want?

At hearing on gasoline prices…… I believe I heard Division of Petroleum Market Oversight (DPMO) mention #PrivateEquity consolidation at the retail level as a contributor…… which to me means higher consumer prices. California Energy Commission - ⚡#CalEnergy - #PrivateEquity is everywhere

FTC Commissioner Lina Khan wrote a letter supporting #AB3129, my bill to allow Rob Bonta to review private equity transactions in health care. Hoping Governor Gavin Newsom saw the 60 Minutes piece!

SHell yeah @CAGovernor! Pinch me-am I dreaming? We're shellebrating at the Crabitol today! This cracks me up! There's no side-stepping how happy I am to honor the Dungeness crab! Shelldom do I have a chance to annoy you with my puns, but I do know when to stop. Mic drop. #AB1797

I disagree with that idea. “ Fall in love with your bills” Take on hard issues that really mean something to you and your constituents. Don’t quit when you hit the first bump in the road, or the 2nd. When you are successful celebrate it. When not - dust yourself off and try again

Saddened to learn of the passing of a mentor,friend and one of my earliest supporters - former Assemblymember Patty Berg. Passionate about the North Coast, Planned Parenthood, seniors and the California End of Life Option Act. Never shy about her opinions! Loved that about her.

We are getting absolutely pummeled by this series of storms on the North Coast. A few days ago this was a barely moving meandering creek. For years we feared the next possible #wildfires and now face the possibility of serious #flooding. BE SAFE!! Don’t cross flooded roadways!

In the aftermath of the #Tubbsfire in 2017 where 22 people lost their lives and 5600 homes were lost the community come together to support everyone. There wasn’t much misinformation or finger pointing. The people and communities of the LA area need that spirit from us now.
