The year didn't start quietly, and neither did our work. Every day, I'm showing up with one goal in mind: meeting the needs of the Central Coast and helping build a California that works for everyone.
Yours in solidarity,

The 2026 legislative session is underway, and I’ve already introduced two major bills: the Save Our Shores Act and the Protect Our Democracy Act. I'm also advancing the CA Learner Personal Information Protection Act (CALPIPA) to address a growing need for stronger data-privacy protections for students in California. While I work to defend our democracy, protect our coast, and keep our children safe, I'm also focused on lowering the cost of living and putting money back into the pockets of Central Coast families. These are the priorities you have asked me to tackle, and I'm honored to fight for them every day.
Sadly, this year has begun with profound pain for many communities, including ours. The killing of Renee Nicole Good and recent militarized raids on the Central Coast have left families grieving and afraid. We must honor Renee's humanity while also confronting the harm done when families are torn apart and fear for their safety. Protecting the dignity and well-being of every person in our communities is our shared responsibility.

With summer recess almost over, I've spent time across the Central Coast connecting with constituents, attending community events and hearing about our challenges and opportunities. These conversations guide my work in the Capitol and ensure your priorities remain front and center when the Legislature reconvenes.

At a time when many are feeling strain, from rising cost of living to federal rollbacks and devastating flooding in Texas, I remain focused on building a California where communities and everyday families can thrive.
In Sacramento, I'm working hard to ensure your voice is heard and reflected in our state's priorities.
Inside this month's Dawn Digest, you'll find highlights of what I've been working on, both in the Capitol and across the district, to deliver meaningful progress for our communities.

Many of the challenges we face today stem from the shortsighted and harmful decisions made in Washington, D.C., driven by executive orders and congressional actions that prioritize the wealthy few over hardworking families. As the federal government has reneged on its promise to protect Americans, including seniors and those with disabilities, California is committed to safeguarding its communities.
