This morning I joined residents of #Sylmar for a town hall on quality of life and #publicsafety issues that most concern our neighborhoods. As your State Assemblymember, I continue to be committed to addressing the day to day issues that impact our communities. Hearing from you, the residents, is essential to getting services in our communities. I encourage you to contact my District Office at 818-365-2464 to report issues on freeways and the surrounding neighborhoods. Thank you to Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, LAPD Mission Community Police Station Captain Marino, our Senior Lead Officers, Fire Station 91 and others for joining. A special thank you to the Sylmar Advocacy Group for organizing an event where residents could voice their concerns! It was a pleasure to hear from so many of you about how we can improve our community.

Met this morning with the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation to discuss their research on LA's middle class, the availability of good-paying jobs, and the impact of our rising cost of living -- very eye-opening! I am looking forward to partnering with LAEDC in the coming months.

Next week, the U.S. Senate will consider yet another bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act and de-fund #PlannedParenthood. If passed, this bill will devastate my community and communities like mine all over the country. For 50 years, Planned Parenthood Los Angeles health centers have provided preventive and reproductive care, accurate information and education to women, men and young people throughout LA County. #IStandWithPP #ACA

Classified employees, including teaching assistants, janitors, school bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and many others, do the essential work that keeps our schools safe, clean, and up and running. Thank you SEIU Local 99 and SEIU State Council for partnering with me to help improve our classified employees' quality of life! https://californianewswire.com/calif-state-legislature-approves-bill-to-fix-unemployment-crisis-for-classified-school-employees-ab-621/

Excited to see my #AB621 approved by the State Legislature yesterday. Unlike teachers, when schools let out for the summer, classified employees do not bring home a paycheck. With #AB621, Classified School Employees would have the option to be part of a summer bridge fund to help them through the summer months! Next stop: The Governor's Desk! #AD39
