Dear Friend,
I’m looking forward to co-hosting a celebration of Dia de los Muertos with Avanzando. The Day of the Dead event will be filled with festivities, including Mariachi music, Ballet folklorico, and arts and crafts, as we remember and pay tribute to our friends and family who have passed away.

Dear Friend,
The State Assembly is deploying every tool possible to stop ICE’s reign of terror, and we’re acting swiftly to protect our communities from the federal regime’s mass detention campaign.

Dear Friend,
California’s state budget must always be centered on our people. As the federal government deliberately attacks working families, California is stepping up with a budget that defends safety net programs to protect and uplift all communities.
Dear Friend,
I am pleased to invite you to walk with me during Fremont's 4th of July Parade! It will be a great opportunity to celebrate our nation's independence and show support for our community.

Dear Friend,
CalFresh, also federally known as SNAP, is one of the most important programs to reduce poverty and hunger. Over 300,000 people in Alameda and Santa Clara counties rely on CalFresh. Across California, this program keeps countless families out of poverty every year.
Dear Friend,
Many of you are rightly concerned about the sweeping Republican federal cuts. By decimating safety net programs, the federal government is funding massive tax breaks for corporations and billionaires. As families starve and struggle to pay for health care, the wealthiest Americans are reaping even bigger windfalls.
Amid direct federal attacks on working families, California must step up. Our government must serve the people, not the rich and powerful.
Dear Friend,
There’s no better way to honor Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May than by giving back and supporting our neighbors. Your time and energy can make a real difference and bring our community together.
Join me this month as I volunteer with a local non-profit organization to distribute fresh, nutritious meals for people in need on Friday, May 15, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We are inviting you to come volunteer with us, and you can click the button below to RSVP. My staff will follow up with more details about the event.
Dear Friend,
Far too often, retirees looking to sell their homes to downsize or move closer to family face a massive financial barrier: the capital gains tax. With decades of appreciation on their home values, people must make a tough choice. They must either dip into their hard-earned savings to pay the tax bill or forgo their retirement goals.
