Proud to support SB 907, which just passed the Assembly Floor with strong bipartisan support. There are always alternatives to driving after drinking. Too many families have paid the price when someone chose otherwise. This bill raises penalties for hit-and-run drivers with prior DUI or reckless convictions and requires clearer warnings that another impaired drive can mean a murder charge. Safer roads start with stronger laws.

I’m proud to coauthor AB 2066, which recognizes pregnancy as a qualifying life event for special enrollment in individual health insurance plans. This bill would give women 60 days to apply for coverage after becoming pregnant. I believe women should have access to health coverage when they need it most.

Copper wire theft shuts down streetlights, disrupts phone and internet service and costs businesses and taxpayers money. I am proud to be part of a bipartisan effort through AB 1941 to give law enforcement more tools to go after organized metal theft. We can protect our neighborhoods, support local businesses and protect taxpayer dollars at the same time.

California homeowners deserve affordable choices, not fewer choices. Too many private insurers have left the market, leaving families with higher costs and fewer options. It is time to fix the policies driving them away.

RT @CalCities: Thank you to the law enforcement officials from @RSO, @sbcountysheriff, @RiversidePolice, @OntarioPD, and @PalmSpringsPD for…

AB 1745 was introduced to provide immediate relief to California drivers by suspending the state’s 61-cent-per-gallon gas tax for one year. At a time when CA families are facing some of the highest fuel prices in the nation, this proposal ensures the savings go directly back to drivers and are clearly reflected on fuel receipts.
