__SALUTATION__

This was another busy week in Sacramento as we move closer to the end of the legislative year in just three weeks. My first two bills have moved successfully through both houses of the state legislature and are headed to the Governor for his signature. It is weeks like this that help remind me what an incredibly humbling and gratifying opportunity it is to be here, working for you on issues that matter, always with an eye towards policies that ensure sustainability, opportunity, and equality for our communities and our state.

Thank you for this chance to serve!

Cheers,

Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath
