This week, we honor the birth of our country in celebrating Independence Day. Our country is founded upon life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As a nation largely of immigrants, a big component of our shared American experience is welcoming those from foreign shores and through innovation, hard work, and tenacity we have built a country on a steady path of ever-increasing democratic representation.

In Sacramento, it is an honor to serve as your representation, and be your voice on important issues like housing, homelessness, sustainability, and healthcare. From my family to yours, wishing you a very happy Fourth of July!

Cheers,

Tasha Boerner Horvath
Assemblymember, 76th District

• Attended the North County Coastal All Elected Officials Celebration at Mira Costa College with state and local elected officials along with the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce, Vista Chamber of Commerce, Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce and the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce. I provided an update on my legislation and work in Sacramento and spoke of how I look forward to continuing to work with North County civic and business leaders to solve some of our region's biggest issues like housing affordability, transportation, and creating a sustainable environment.

Two state audit requests I authored, one to review the University of California admissions process and the other to seek answers to the sometimes exorbitant student fees at California State University campuses, received bi-partisan support from the Joint Legislative Audit Committee last week.
