Speaker of the California State Assembly. Proud to represent the 29th Assembly District. Campaign account.
January 6 reminds us Donald Trump loves violence. Violence against those he disagrees with. Violence against the Constitution. Violence against police and others who uphold the rule of law. This November, we must vote to stop him by flipping the House.
January 6th is one of the darkest days in our country’s history. Let us never forget what led to that awful day 5 years ago, and let us never forget that democracy is fragile. It’s our duty as Americans to defend it from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

The holidays should be a time for joy, not stressing about your pocketbook. Unfortunately, Trump's tariffs are a holiday tax on American families.

When Donald Trump cut SNAP benefits, we stepped in -- with a lawsuit, and with funds. I promised to fight hunger, and I won't stop.
Hunger is squeezing California students — and it could get worse
Experts say that hunger and economic distress can affect students’ academic performance, or it can determine whether students make the decision to attend — or finish — college.

The White House and Republicans are out of touch with reality. Americans are seeing prices skyrocket everywhere due to Trump’s tariffs. Rather than solutions, the con man offers lies.

The President's 50-year mortgage idea won't solve our housing crisis, only bury families in decades of debt.
California deserves action, not gimmicks. That's why Assembly Democrats are working to expand housing supply and streamline homebuilding permitting.

Column | The 50-year mortgage is a terrible deal. Here’s why.
It’s a proposal that sounds good, but it won’t help families build generational wealth. It’s more like being a perpetual renter.

Trump keeps saying grocery prices are “way down”. Anyone who’s been in a grocery store knows that’s a lie. Trump’s more worried about his billionaire friends than the Americans being crushed by his tariffs.
