Great News! The California Governor Gavin Newsom just signed #SB793 into law to ban the sale of flavored tobacco products! I am a proud co-author and voted in support of this bill because I believe that we need to keep our kids safe from the harmful effects and addictive qualities of tobacco products.

I was happy to join First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom and Assemblymember Monique Limón for a #womensvote100 conversation! We discussed the importance of voting and why it’s important to have women leaders in government. I am honored and proud to represent #AD39 but I am only the 156th woman to serve in #CALeg out of over 4,000 members. Although we have come far, we still have so much work to do to reach #equality!

Today, I proudly presented #SB1257 authored by

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment — the amendment that guarantees and protects a woman’s right to vote.
Why was it important for women to vote?

On #WomensEqualityDay, we celebrate the progress that the fearless #suffragettes and their allies have made so that women and girls everywhere have a fair share, fair go, and fair say.
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the
