Dear Friend,

Are you looking for a chance to showcase your artistic talents? My third annual Youth Art Contest, themed "Healthy Meals Feed Happy Families," is just around the corner, and I'm inviting all K-12 students from our district to participate!

Communities thrive when people have fresh and nutritious food. It's integral to our lives and well-being. A healthy food system fuels entire neighborhoods and supports our local economies. It shapes our social connections, bridges cultures, and fosters more resilient communities. But far too many people lack healthy food options, even though our state is the breadbasket of the nation. It's why I'll continue to fight tirelessly to ensure food security for everyone as Chair of the Assembly Human Services Committee.

(Winners of the 1st annual Youth Art Contest are recognized on the California Assembly Floor.)

How do you see nutritious food as a foundation for health and happiness in your community? Join my Youth Art Contest to feature your creative vision. Find more information below and submit your artwork before the submission deadline on Friday, February 27, 2026, at 5 p.m.

More than 100 students have already participated in my art contests in the last two years, illustrating their imaginations of our transit and housing. I'm excited to see more of your artwork!

Yours in service,

Alex Lee
Assemblymember, 24th District
