Proud to announce Gov. Newsom just signed my bill AB 30! This bipartisan solution will help lower gas prices for California families by up to 20 cents per gallon through E15 fuel options. Real solutions for real affordability. #AD80 #California

Proud to host Assembly Speaker Emeritus John A. Pérez on my podcast. We discussed cross-border collaboration and how 150,000 daily border crossers show the real story of our binational region. Listen to our full conversation: youtu.be/GjVHN1iWyyY #AD80

Every parent I talk to shares the same dream - wanting their kids to have more opportunities than they did. That's why I'm fired up about AB 662 passing the State Senate with bipartisan support yesterday.

Here is a quick video on why we need a 4-year university in South San Diego County.

Can you imagine what it means for 600,000 South Bay residents to finally get their own university? Our bill AB 662 just passed the Senate with bipartisan support, bringing us one step closer to making higher education accessible right here in our community.

What do students need most? Great teachers who understand them. That's why I authored AB 833 to bring more bilingual educators from Mexico to CA classrooms. It passed the Senate unanimously. Our kids deserve teachers who speak their language and share their culture. #AD80 #SiSePuede

Want to know what happened today on the Assembly floor? I casted my vote for SB 694 to shut down "claims sharks" targeting veterans. These predators charge thousands for basic VA paperwork that should be free. Proud to help stop veterans from being scammed out of their hard-earned benefits. #AD80#SD

Ever wonder what real housing growth looks like? A 2% increase could transform CA - and it's smaller than you think. Think 3-4 parcels per neighborhood. That's it. 🏘️

🎙️ "When you prevent housing diversity, you're not preserving community - you're ensuring only wealthy people can move in." Powerful insight from @ShanePhillips on last week's Dreaming Big Working Hard podcast. #AD80 #Housing

On podcast "Dreaming Big Working Hard" - Author Shane Phillips asks us to consider a powerful trade-off: choosing between leaving our kids a $2M home but rarely seeing them, or a $500k home with weekly family time. What would you choose? #AD80 #DreamingBigWorkingHard

Standing at the SR-11 completion ceremony, thinking about my dad who crossed this border as a farmworker decades ago. This new Otay Mesa crossing will transform our binational community - cutting wait times and boosting local businesses. Proud of 20 years of partnership making this happen! #SouthBay

Powerful transformation story from a community leader!

From feeling like he was "marking the days like a prisoner" to saying "I'll take on the feds... because I'm not afraid of them anymore."

The lesson? Realizing powerful institutions are "just people." Full episode: youtu.be/0cvgEXcmH2Y?...

We're working to bring a 4-year university to Chula Vista. Why? Because our region is growing fast, 25,000+ new jobs coming in the next decade!

Did you know? Chula Vista is CA's 2nd largest city without a public university. That needs to change. ✨
