First off, I would like to thank everyone for their support! Because of your vote, I am able to continue as your representative in the State Legislature, and as the new Chair of the Assembly Budget Committee, where we are working diligently to address our state’s ongoing financial challenges.
This '09-'10 term is my third and last term in the California State Assembly, and I have decided that I would like to continue to represent you. I am now campaigning for the State Senate, 2nd District race in 2014.
This website will keep you informed as to the activities and events that are planned for my election campaign. You can sign up here to attend an event, volunteer, add your endorsement, post a lawn sign, host an event, make a contribution and other things that will help make the difference!
Since 2004 I have been honored to represent you in the California State Assembly. During the past four years I have worked for education, children, the disabled, seniors, health care, our environment, agriculture, and improving our local economy. I will continue fighting for these priorities.
In my first two years in the Assembly I chaired the Human Services Committee. During my second term, I chaired the Democratic Caucus, helping to set legislative and budget priorities for the Assembly Democrats. In my third and final term I am serving as the Chair of the Assembly Budget Committee.
