It's time for real relief on your utility bills.
I introduced AB 1677, legislation that would require utility companies to cut rates by 25%. We deserve affordable, reliable service, not sky-high bills.
I want to hear directly from you - how much are you paying each month for utilities? Please fill out this survey. Your input is crucial in our battle for rate relief.

Irish Roots in California
The California State Legislature was proud to welcome Senator Mark Daly, Cathaoirleach of the Seanad Éireann, to the Assembly Floor.
California and Ireland share a long-standing and meaningful relationship, and it was an honor to continue that tradition of exchange and collaboration. These visits remind us that strong partnerships - both at home and abroad - help strengthen democracy and deepen mutual understanding.

Angel Mason Broadus
This Black History Month, I'm proud to recognize Angel Mason Broadus - a visionary leader.
As President & Founder of Puzzle Pieces Marketing, Angel has built a creative, colorful agency rooted in social good, partnering with nonprofits and mission-driven organizations to strengthen communities and inspire action.
Since founding the agency in 2009 alongside her wife, Kristine Mason Broadus, Angel has led a values-driven team that centers equity, storytelling, and real impact.
From housing and health care to youth development and the arts, Puzzle Pieces Marketing uplifts organizations doing critical work across San Diego County and beyond.
Angel's commitment to service extends beyond her business—she invests in the next generation through internships, scholarships for LGBTQ+ youth and BIPOC young women, and deep community leadership.
Her dedication reflects a lesson passed down from her parents: giving back is the price we pay for living in community.
Angel's leadership, creativity, and service have earned well-deserved recognition, but her greatest impact is the doors she opens for others.
Thank you, Angel, for leading with purpose and showing what it looks like to build community through action.

Know Your Rights
I understand that many of us are feeling angry in the face of what is happening in our local communities and across the country. Individuals are being taken from the streets without due process, and people are living in fear every day. In these moments, it is essential to know your rights. The California Immigrant Guide offers various resources in multiple languages to assist you or those you know. I know these are unprecedented times, and we will get through this.
California Contigo
There is so much fear and confusion being perpetrated with the current federal administration. The California Assembly Democrats recently launched a website to help you locate someone in ICE detention, access to help and legal assistance, prepare for potential immigration emergencies, and avoid immigration-related scams.
Report Misconduct of Federal Agents
The public can report and submit video footage or photographic evidence to the Office of the California Attorney General of federal agents who are practicing unlawful activity. Potential examples include use of excessive force, unlawful searches or arrests, wrongful detentions, interference with voting, or other civil rights violations. Please be advised that filing a complaint does not mean that the Office of the Attorney General will take any action on your complaint.
