For over 43 years, Len Ramirez has been a familiar and trusted presence in our homes and communities. From our kitchens to our living rooms, we tuned to KPIX CBS San Francisco Bay Area where he’s been a reporter to hear the latest breaking news and stories shaping our lives.

He told stories that spoke to the human condition. He gave a voice to people whose experiences deserved to be heard and helped our community see beyond the headlines to the people and personal stories at the heart of every issue.

Congratulations on your retirement, Len!

Today, I was honored to speak at the Institute of Transportation Studies, UC Davis (ITS-Davis) on the next phase of transportation in California which was moderated by ITS Founding Director Emeritus Dr. Daniel Sperling.

As Chair of the California Senate Transportation Committee, former Chair of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), member of the California Transportation Commission, and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Board, I’ve worked with key leaders like the UC to advance transportation infrastructure throughout the state.

California’s transportation future depends on smart strategies.

Today, I had the opportunity to welcome my fellow Senate colleague, Senator Christopher Cabaldon, to my Senate District 15 as he visited San Jose's very own "Pinoytown" otherwise known as Filipino Town as part of his tour across California.

Senator Cabaldon is California’s first Filipino American state senator.

Our visit to "Pinoytown" in the heart of my District highlighted the importance of preserving Filipino American communities, honoring the generations who paved the way, and celebrating the diversity that strengthens our neighborhoods.

I recently toured HomeFirst’s Rue Ferrari homeless shelter to see firsthand the critical services helping our unhoused neighbors find safety, stability, and a path forward.

As a former County Supervisor, I called for a countywide Housing Task Force, work that helped lead to the passage of Measure A, the $950 million bond approved by voters in 2016.

Today, I continue that work by hosting my annual Unhoused Health Fair, connecting people experiencing with health care, housing resources, social services, and other critical support.

Today, I swore in our new Senate District 15 Intern, Marilyn Damey.

She joins us after recently graduating from Loyola Marymount University. Thank you, Marilyn, for your commitment to public service and our district. Welcome to the team!

Today, we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day by honoring the diverse cultures and enduring histories of Native and Indigenous communities. Here in Senate District 15, may we memorialize the Indigenous peoples who have cared for this land and recognize their lasting contributions, traditions, and sovereignty.
