Today Gov Gavin Newsom delivered his 2nd State of the State—& it was my 2nd time attending on behalf of #AD15! His address emphasized our moment of urgency in CA. Our homeless neighbors cannot wait. The 1/4 who need behavioral healthcare cannot wait. Housing cannot wait—#CASOTS
I applaud Gavin Newsom for his commitment to addressing Californians’ full spectrum of needs—from physical & mental health care, to hunger, to a roof over one’s head where we can feel safe. It's all interrelated—we know that—our state should reflect that. x.com/cagovernor/sta…
I'm ready to keep walking the walk—& to continue working w/Gavin Newsom on our shared priorities—ending gun violence in our communities, increasing funding for schools, reforming our criminal justice system & ensuring we meet our climate change goals. Onward, California! #CASOTS
