I have an announcement. I'm retiring from the Assembly at the end of my term, and will not be running for Mayor of Long Beach. My full statement is below. It has been a pleasure and an honor serving the people of LB and California.
Since 2014, I’ve had the honor of representing the people of the 70th Assembly District. Before that, I had the great privilege of serving as a Long Beach City Councilmember. In that time we’ve worked hard as a community to improve our city, our neighborhoods, and our state.
Chair of the Education Committee to increase per pupil funding, make historic investments in our public schools as well as my work as the Select Committee on Ports & Goods Movement to ensure that our ports remain competitive and become greener.
California sheroes represented tonight!

Must read. The truth behind @ViceNew's story and the photoshopping of Cambodian genocide victims. teapawt.net/18millionrising/status…
"My heart was pounding when I was reading it [the Vice story], because I feel like it’s very cold blooded. You feel terrified, because it’s so close to you, it’s so real to you."
Help us hold @VICE accountable for this mess: action.18mr.org/stopexploiti… southeastasiaglobe.com/colou…
🧵Recently @VICENews published photographs of Cambodian genocide victims that were photoshopped. This act rewrites and lightens history.
We can’t afford to forget the horrors of the Cambodian Genocide, and we must ensure that those lost are remembered, and those responsible are punished.
I'm standing with leaders at @SEAFN1 and @18millionrising to demand that @vicenews meet with community organizers to put forth humanizing, accurate coverage of history.
Great #earthday read by the @latimes on the history of DDT and what it means for our future if we don’t act. latimes.com/projects/la-coas…

I want to thank @RepLowenthal, @RepBarragan, @SenGonzalez_33, @AsmPatODonnell, @Rendon63rd, and @SupJaniceHahn for the incredible federal/state/county support and partnership on the migrant family reunification center. Our goal must be the quick reunion of families.
