Bay Area residents take 1M+ trips every weekday on our four largest transit systems — to get to work, school & everywhere in between. We can’t let devastating cuts take that away. I’m voting YES on the Regional Transit Measure to keep our region moving. www.sfgate.com/news/bayarea...

Transit is an affordability issue, too. We’re working to build more housing near jobs and transit — but that only works if the trains and buses are actually running.

We can make CA a place people can afford to stay. But we have to build. That’s why I’m supporting Props 1 & 37 — starting w/the housing bond I fought for: Prop 1 provides $11.25B for affordable homes for seniors, veterans, students & working families. calmatters.org/housing/home...

The measure of our work in Sacramento isn't how many bills we introduce or how many signings we attend. It's whether we're actually making life better for Californians. 13 of my bills are now law, tackling some of the biggest challenges facing CA families. Here's a readout:

Every year that we delay solutions like AB 1903 is another year families are priced out of the communities they call home. But I'm not giving up. We built a strong foundation of support for this reform, and I intend to come back fighting for it next year.

I also want to be upfront about what we didn't get done. One of my biggest priorities this year was AB 1903, a bill to help jumpstart condo construction and put homeownership back within reach for more working families.

I am ecstatic that @governor.ca.gov just signed AB 2222, historic legislation I authored w/ @asmchrisward.bsky.social that vaults CA to the forefront of protecting & rebuilding journalism in our communities. This is the capstone to vital work that began 5+ yrs ago, & our road has not been easy.

This vital tax credit will also grow over time & make an ongoing difference as we regrow + support journalists and newsrooms across the state.

There’s so much East Bay history inside the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA). Loved getting a tour yesterday of Mildred Howard: Poetics of Memory — celebrating a Berkeley-raised artist whose work explores family, history, identity and home.

I am incredibly disappointed & frustrated that AB 1903, my bill to reform construction defect liability, just died in the Senate. Critical components were amended out Friday & it was ultimately held by the Senate late last night — missing the midnight deadline for concurrence.

And ultimately I had a bill Friday morning that I truly believe would have unlocked condo construction to serve our working class families desperate for homeownership opportunities.

Our job as legislators is to solve problems, and sometimes that means doing hard things. This is one of those things. This issue has been a third rail. Structural change is necessary.
