I am so proud of our Public Works and the Transportation Planning team on receiving statewide recognition for climate-resilient transportation planning.
The City of Sacramento and Sacramento Regional Transit District received a 2026 Beacon Leadership Award for SacAdapt, their joint plan to shield Sacramento's transportation system from climate change impacts.From extreme heat and flooding to severe storms, we are taking proactive steps to protect our streets, sidewalks, bike routes, and public transit while making our transportation network safer, more reliable, and more resilient for everyone.
This award is a testament to the dedication of our City staff, our SacRT partners, and residents who truly care about Sacramento’s future.
Great job!

As we continue to highlight Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I'm highlighting WEAVE INC, an organization that goes above and beyond for our community and one that played an important role for me when I was experiencing abuse.

Founded in 1978, WEAVE provides intervention services for survivors of domestic violence, s*xual assault, and s*x trafficking. They offer a 24-hour support line, confidential emergency shelters, transitional housing, safety planning, legal advocacy, counseling, and youth/community prevention education. WEAVE is also Sacramento County's sole R**e Crisis Center. If you're a victim or know someone who is, call our office or reach WEAVE directly at the number below.

There are so many opportunities to enjoy the Arts in Sacramento. I was honored to attend the opening night of the Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera season. Growing up my grandmother exposed me to the wonders of classical music and I love I could bring my youngest to enjoy the wonder of an orchestra. At one point A leaned over and told me the music is “almost” like the music from Star Wars 😂. There is an amazing season ahead - book your tickets here: https://www.sacphilopera.org/26-27-season/

Last night, attended the 4th annual Changemakers Gala. It was an honor to celebrate this year’s 60 inspiring honorees from across our region who are driving real change in public advocacy, education, healthcare, and government for the people of Sacramento. It is our changemakers who lead the charge in improving Sacramento for the better.
I am especially proud to celebrate three incredible District 1 leaders who were recognized:
• Yating Campbell has committed years for her career to the support of women and youth in the District 1 and the greater Sacramento area. She emphasizes the importance of connection through uniting 100 organizations to provide resources for women. Along with serving as the Director of Communications for the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls, as a Girl Scout and Scouting America mom and volunteering with My Sister’s House, assisting Asian and Pacific Islander women impacted by domestic violence. She also serves her community volunteering at Joey’s food locker.
• Joy Gonzales-Cabatic is dedicated to supporting the Asian American Pacific Islander community through her work with My Sister’s House and the Asian Pacific State Employees Association. She is also on the board for the Olivia Chan foundation, which provides grief support for children, teens and young adults and an incredible advocate for District 1.
• Gina Richardson empowers local families with stable financial futures and builds resilience. She also serves as the Chair for the City of Sac’s Measure L The Children’s Fund Committee representing D1.

A huge thank you to the Sacramento Bee and the Nehemiah Emerging Leaders Program for hosting such an uplifting event and for constantly elevating the voices shaping our community’s future.

Today, we held our first meeting of the Innovation Park Public Financing Authority (PFA), an exciting step forward in fulfilling the Natomas Promise!

As Chair, I’m proud to serve alongside Vice Chair Vice Mayor Karina Talamantes Councilmember Roger Dickinson who helped author state legislation to create EIFD’s, and public members Alyssa Lozano, a lifelong North Natomas resident and former Natomas Chamber President, along with former Mayor Heather Fargo.

The PFA will oversee the development of the Infrastructure Financing Plan, laying the groundwork for how the EIFD can help fund infrastructure, attract investment, and create new opportunities for our community.

This is about more than economic development. It’s about thoughtful investment that creates jobs, strengthens our local economy, and benefits families throughout North Natomas and surrounding District 1 communities, including Robla and beyond.

Thank you to our City staff for all the hard work that has brought us to this point. We have a lot of work ahead, but this is an exciting beginning. Natomas deserves this opportunity, and I’m proud to help move it forward.
