It is that time of year again! If you are a 9th-12th grade student living in Senate District 14, sign up today to be part of our 2023 Young Legislators Program.




Senator Anna M. Caballero (D-Merced) named Tamara Cobb Woman of the Year 2023 (video) for Senate District 14, and presented her with a Resolution at the State Capitol in Sacramento on March 20.




As many of you have already heard, without help, cities and towns throughout the state are on track to lose vital community health care services and jobs. That is why I have requested a one-time $1.5 billion relief package as part of a larger solution that seeks to correct the structural underfunding in the Medi-Cal system, and necessary to create long-term stability for our state’s healthcare needs.




2023 has gotten off to a rough start. I know many people have been impacted by the recent floods, and I wanted to share resources available in your area that can help. Thank you to Lowe’s Home Improvement, Pepsi and Walgreens for partnering with me to provide COVID test kits, water, and supplies to aid in the clean-up efforts in Planada.




Summer is definitely here and I hope you are finding ways to stay cool and beat the heat. I am happy to share major wins that are in this year’s state budget because of the collaborative work of our office with Mayors, City Council Members, and Board of Supervisors across Senate District 12. It is my honor to carry your voices with me to Sacramento, and I am proud to deliver the investments that our communities need and deserve.




Women’s History Month provides a time for us to reflect on the many contributions made by women throughout history and in our own community. This year, it felt appropriate that during the month of March, many of us across the nation tuned in to watch the Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson. Her responses were measured, intelligent and thoughtful and reminded me that so many of us are where we are today because of hope. The ability to see ourselves in positions of leadership and to be represented across all sectors holds an immeasurable value. As a young woman, I didn’t have many such examples, and that alone became a major factor in my decision to work where women were generally not included.

As we wrap up Black History Month, I have taken some time to reflect on what this year's theme of "Black Health and Wellness" means to me. What a great opportunity it is to be able to recognize the tremendous contributions made to our nation by African-American doctors, nurses, midwives, doulas, scientists and others.
