It was great to be able to connect with seniors at The Forum at Rancho San Antonio to discuss local and state issues they’re concerned about. As the new Chair of the California State Assembly’s Aging & Long-Term Care Committee, I am visiting seniors throughout California and the Silicon Valley to listen, learn, and bring more legislative attention to the issues impacting elderly Californians.

It was a great honor to present a California State Assembly Resolution to City of Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor Lisa Gillmor at her final State of the City address as Mayor. Her 33 years of elected public service is inspirational and it’s been a privilege working alongside her to serve and strengthen Santa Clara!

I will always fight to ensure every kid has access to a great education, quality healthcare, and any needed safety net supports so they can grow up and live up to their highest potential. I am proud to be recognized as one of 20 California legislators with the “Pro-Kid Champion” designation for scoring 100% on the Children Now 2026 Pro-Kid Scorecard. Kids rely on us to make good decisions on their behalf, so we should!

This new law I authored creates uniform, statewide eligibility standards for Extended Foster Care to ensure access to housing for vulnerable young Californians. Thank you to all of the amazing foster youth, families, advocates, and organizations that helped get his passed and signed into law!

AB 2764 is now law! This bill creates uniform, statewide eligibility standards for Extended Foster Care, so every qualifying young adult can access housing and support, no matter which county they live in.

Thank you to Governor Gavin Newsom and the California Legislature for supporting young people transitioning to adulthood. Special thanks to our bill author, Assemblymember Patrick Ahrens , and our co-sponsors, John Burton Advocates for Youth and California Youth Connection (C*C) . Together, we are removing barriers and helping prevent youth homelessness.
