__SALUTATION__

I had the pleasure of visiting Ms. Klein’s second grade classroom at Paul Ecke Elementary School and was inspired by these kids talking about solutions to our climate crisis.

I’m excited that young people are asking me what we can do to stop bad actors who pollute our planet, and they even wrote a book about climate justice!

I want to hear about the issues most important to our youth. If your school would like to visit Sacramento and share your ideas, you can reach us at (760) 434-7605 or Assemblymember.Boerner@assembly.ca.gov.

Cheers,

Assemblymember Tasha Boerner
Assemblymember, 77th District

P.S. My office is available every day to talk with you about your concerns or help connect you with resources. You can reach us at (760) 434-7605 or Assemblymember.Boerner@assembly.ca.gov.

Visiting Ms. Klein's 2^nd Grade Class

It was a pleasure to visit Ms. Klein’s 2nd grade class at Paul Ecke Central Elementary! I was excited to see that they wrote a book about climate justice.

It’s so important our youth are aware and engaged in solutions to our climate crisis.

Raising the Pride Flag

I joined elected officials and the public to raise the Pride flag here in Carlsbad to show solidarity for the LGBTQIA+ community this Pride Month!

Raising the Pride flag is a symbol of how far we’ve come and that we take a strong stand against hate and intolerance here in California. #TeamTasha
