Assemblywoman Lori D. Wilson

This week, I got to chat with the Child Care Providers Union on the way to Session (pictured first).

Team Wilson and I also met with the following groups over the last several days:

2. Jesse M. Bethel High School from Vallejo
3. The Budget Committee of the German Bundestag (the federal parliament of Germany)
4. The UCLA chapter of the American Lung Cancer Screening Initiative

And, (pictured fifth) I was job-shadowed by goddaughters on Monday 😊

My statement regarding the fatal shooting last night in Fairfield that followed a high school graduation ceremony:

“My heart is heavy.

“What should have been a night of celebration for Sem Yeto High School turned into tragedy due to senseless violence. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted.

“The Fairfield Police Department encourages anyone with information related to this incident to contact the Fairfield Police Investigations Tip Line at 707-428-7345 or email [email protected].”

Happy Pride Month!

Yesterday, I attended Suisun Pride — a fundraiser to support the life-saving work of Solano Pride Center, such as HIV & STI prevention services, mental health services, case management, youth and senior services, as well as social and support groups.

It is vital our communities elevate and provide resources to vulnerable groups, including LGBTQ+ folks.

As the first legislator in the history of California to openly discuss being the parent of a transgender child, I believe it is crucial that the q***r community and its allies have champions in Sacramento.

Today, I attended the 156th Memorial Day commemoration at Mare Island Naval Cemetery in Vallejo and Fairfield Suisun’s Memorial Day tribute at the Old Solano Courthouse.

Together we mourn, honor, and remember all the brave Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedom and safety while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. 🇺🇸

Over the last two weeks, Team Wilson and I met with the following people or attended the following events working to improve quality of life for all Californians, including:

1. Texas State Rep. Justin Jones and the California Legislative Black Caucus

2. Foothill Transit

3. Gone for Good of United Cerebral Palsy NorthBay

4. California API Advocacy

5. California API Advocacy Coalition

6. Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (I presented them with an Assembly Resolution presented for their 75th Anniversary.)

7. EdTrust West

8. Jack and Jill Sacramento

Today, on California Nonprofits Day, I was proud to honor my Nonprofit of the Year: Solano Community Foundation. The Solano Community Foundation has been a trusted philanthropic partner dedicated to strengthening communities and improving quality of life across Solano County since 1996. This year, SCF celebrates its 30th anniversary.

Through its Building Community Muscle initiative, SCF brings nonprofit organizations together to strengthen their capacity, expand their access to funding, and foster collaboration. The organization also invests in students by providing teachers with microgrants to advance curriculum, curiosity, and student experiences.

Leslie Janik, SCF’s chief executive officer, accepted the Assembly Resolution on behalf of the organization. Thank you to SCF for its great work promoting community within the 11th Assembly District. I appreciate the work of the over 100 nonprofits recognized today, too.
