Senate District 12 Friends and Families,

The Capitol was busy last week, as we returned to a full week on the Senate floor observing social distancing and wearing masks. The California Legislature delivered the 2020-21 budget to Governor Newsom, preserving programs that protect the elderly and poor, while recognizing that the pandemic will have a profound impact on the state’s ability to fund everything. Simply, there are going to be reduced services, but not those that are lifelines for at risk Californians.

Senate District 12 is opening for business! The State has created a transparent process that each county must work through, in order to open economically, and still slow the spread of COVID-19. We can, must, and will successfully do both!

Friends and Families of Senate District 12,

Today, I write about the lack of vital broadband infrastructure throughout California that risks our future as the innovation state, and threatens to leave behind rural communities.  

Senate District 12 Friends and Families,

This week, I challenge everyone in Senate District 12 to fill out the 2020 Census.

What is the Census?

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year because I get to spend my days traveling across the 12th Senate District meeting with and constituents and friends.  I take this time to visit with local elected officials, community groups, businesses, students, and organizations across the Central and Salinas Valleys, and San Benito County.  All of these visits remind me of the important work we are doing for the residents of the 12th Senate District and the important work that remains.
