The Tri-City Hospital Foundation recently celebrated its 44th anniversary, honoring the heart of our community and the many leaders who make our region thrive.

Calibaja Tour
Assemblymember David Alvarez coordinated a Calibaja tour, an educational trip that highlighted the critical roles of the Port of San Diego and the Port of Ensenada in driving commerce and trade between our two countries.
I had the opportunity to meet the experts doing the work needed to keep our economies running. A significant amount of work is being done at both of these ports. We explored their innovative strategies for success in logistics, promoting environmental sustainability, and fostering workforce development, while also addressing the challenges they face. These ports are truly pivotal in driving our economy forward, and it was a privilege to witness their impact firsthand!
Ban Offshore Oil Drilling
California is not for sale.
San Diego leaders are taking a stand against the Trump Administration's efforts to roll back California's environmental progress.
I joined Representative Mike Levin to Ban Offshore Oil Drilling along with Senator Catherine Blakespear, Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner, California Coastal Protection Network, Surfrider Foundation, Oceana, and WILDCOAST to stand our ground.
Protecting our environment means protecting our communities, our economy, and our health.
