📢 Exciting Update!

Back on April 15, 2025, I had the honor of speaking before the Honorable Colton City Council in support of adopting the Catalytic Converter Unlawful Possession Ordinance.

I’m thrilled to share the exciting news—yesterday, the Honorable Mayor and City Council of Colton officially passed the ordinance! 🙌

A huge thank you to the Honorable Mayor, the City Council, and especially Chief Vega for their support and commitment to keeping our community safe.

This is a big step forward in protecting our residents and local businesses from catalytic converter theft. đź’Ş

Good morning, friends —

Today, I want to extend my deepest thanks to the Honorable Ventura County Board of Supervisors for adopting the Catalytic Converter Unlawful Possession Ordinance.

With this action, Ventura County joins Riverside, San Bernardino, Fresno, and Kern Counties as the fifth county in California to close a dangerous loophole in state law — AB 641 — that, until now, allowed a thief to possess up to eight detached catalytic converters with no consequences.

And so I want to offer a special thanks to the Honorable Ventura County Supervisor Kelly Speakes Long - for her leadership, her advocacy, and her steadfast support of this ordinance. Simply put, this ordinance would not have happened without you.

I also want to recognize Sheriff Fryhoff, County Counsel North, and District Attorney Nasarenko for standing with the people of Ventura County. Their commitment ensures that deputies and prosecutors now have the tools to enforce theft laws — whether someone has one catalytic converter or eight — without proof of ownership.

This is about common sense. It’s about protecting families, small businesses, and everyday folks who simply want to drive to work, to school, to church — without being victimized by a crime that is costly, disruptive, and all too common.

So today, let’s celebrate this step forward. Ventura County has joined a growing movement across California — proving once again that when leaders listen, when they act, and when they stand up for their communities, real progress is possible.

Today, I want to take a moment to personally thank the Honorable for making the Catalytic Converter Unlawful Possession Ordinance advocacy a reality here in Ventura County.

Without you, this would not have been possible. Your leadership, determination, and willingness to take action on behalf of our community have made a real difference.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for standing up for public safety and for the residents who have been impacted by catalytic converter theft.

Your commitment will have a lasting impact on Ventura County. đź’Şđźš”

I want to sincerely thank the Honorable Supervisor Long for your kind words to me during yesterday’s meeting. Your encouragement and support truly meant the world.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I continue to advocate for stronger public safety measures — because leaders like you listen, care, and take action.

Your words will stay with me as we continue the fight to protect Ventura County from catalytic converter theft. 🚔💪

I want to sincerely thank the Honorable Ventura County Supervisors for their support, and a special thanks to Supervisor Long for her leadership on this issue — and for your kind words. It meant the world.

My gratitude also goes to Sheriff Fryhoff, County Counsel Ms. Tiffany North, and District Attorney Mr. Erik Nasarenko for their dedication to keeping our community safe.

And a special shout-out to Supervisor Long’s Chief of Staff, Mr. Brian Miller, for his behind-the-scenes work to help make this possible.

This ordinance is more than just a law — it’s a message: Ventura County stands united against catalytic converter theft.

Last night, the Honorable Clovis City Council took a major step forward by passing the First Reading of the Catalytic Converter Unlawful Possession Ordinance!

This ordinance is a critical tool in our fight against catalytic converter theft—and it sends a clear message: our communities will no longer be easy targets.

I want to sincerely thank Honorable Mayor Pro Tem Pearce for her strong leadership on this issue. Your commitment to public safety and protecting everyday working families did not go unnoticed.

And I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Clovis resident Mr. Eric Rollins for your support of this ordinance. Your voice, your advocacy, and your presence made a difference.

To the residents of Clovis: this ordinance is for you—for every person who woke up to find their car vandalized, for every senior who missed a doctor’s appointment, for every parent just trying to get their kids to school.

Onward to the final vote. Let’s close this loophole and stand up for our neighborhoods.

07/30/2025

For the past three years, I’ve been on a mission to do what lawmakers in Sacramento won’t: close a dangerous loophole in State Law, AB 641—a law that, as it stands, allows thieves to be caught with up to 8 stolen catalytic converters and still avoid real consequences.

That’s not justice. That’s not public safety. That’s a broken system.

I’ve brought this fight to City Councils and County Boards of Supervisors across California—because our local leaders can step up where the state has failed.

But this mission isn’t just about laws—it’s about people.

It’s about folks like Ozie Vox of Santa Clarita, and countless neighbors who became victims of catalytic converter theft.

It’s about Actor Johnny Wactor, who was shot and killed in Los Angeles while trying to protect his Prius from thieves.

It’s about Mr. Johnny Sanchez, an Inglewood resident who was murdered during a catalytic converter theft.

And it’s about my own co-worker, whose catalytic converter was stolen in broad daylight—right from the parking lot at work.

These are the names. These are the faces.

So I’ve made it my mission to make noise, share the facts, and push for change—because families, workers, and neighborhoods deserve better.

I won’t stop until this loophole is closed and until our officers, deputies, and prosecutors have the tools they need to hold thieves accountable—whether they’re caught with 1 or 9 catalytic converters.

We can’t wait on Sacramento. We act locally, because lives are on the line.

Friends,

Last night, I stood before the Honorable Mayor and Honorable City Council of the City of Bakersfield to once again raise the urgent need for a Catalytic Converter Unlawful Possession Ordinance—a commonsense step to protect hardworking families, seniors, and workers who rely on their vehicles every day.I reminded the Council of what happened right here in Bakersfield just a few years ago:

✅ July 2022 – The City Council moved forward with a first reading of a Catalytic Converter Unlawful Possession Ordinance.
✅ August 2022 – That ordinance was tabled because of pending state legislation.

But that state legislation didn’t go far enough. And while thefts continue to devastate families, other local leaders are stepping up. Last Tuesday, the Honorable Kern County Board of Supervisors passed a first reading of their own catalytic converter ordinance.

I urged Bakersfield’s leaders to revisit this ordinance and be on the same page with Kern County—because city and county government should work together to protect our residents.

This is about public safety. It’s about supporting law enforcement. And it’s about making sure Bakersfield families don’t wake up to find their cars disabled by thieves.I’ll keep showing up.

I’ll keep speaking out. And together, we can make a difference.
