Before election results are certified, we complete a 1% hand count of vote center and mail ballot batches.
We compare those results to our voting system to verify accuracy and ensure transparency. ✅

Donald Trump is the most corrupt President in American history.
He is a vindictive mob boss!

Today, @SanDiegoCounty initiated a public health inspection process at the Otay Mesa Detention Facility. I am calling on the federal government to facilitate the inspection without delay.

BREAKING: As Donald Trump cancels free admission to National Parks on MLK Day, California will be offering FREE entry at more than 200 participating state parks.
Honor MLK. Get outdoors. And stick it to an old man with a fragile ego.

It was a true honor to celebrate @toniatkins earlier this week at our 3rd annual #HillcrestHonors!
@mistercervantes
Growing up in rural VA, I never thought I could be accepted as a lesbian, much less elected. I’ve dedicated my career to increasing #LGBTQ+ representation and fighting for our equal rights. It was humbling to be recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award alongside other members of Hillcrest’s vibrant #LGBTQ+ community.

Another great part of the #HillcrestSanDiego Community Ofrenda over the past week was the pop-up community space we built. With the tables and chairs and other elements we had out there, it was so nice to have a place for people to gather, chat, some even brought laptops to work.

My brother struggled with addiction and mental health issues for over a decade and lost everything while living on the streets of San Diego. It’s been a real challenge to ever get him any help or assistance that he needs, as connected and resourced as my family and me are.
