I am officially back in Sacramento for the last month of the legislative session.
Each legislative cycle lasts two years, and we are approaching the end of the 2023-2024 legislative session.
On this final stretch, I will be voting on over a thousand measures by the August 31st deadline. If you have an opinion you would like to share, please feel free to contact me here.
Stay tuned for updates!
Cheers,
