I am thankful for Emma’s fierce advocacy and for her inspiring op-ed about the journey her family has gone through with her husband, Bruce Willis’, frontotemporal degeneration.

Too many California families feel like they’re fighting this disease in the dark. Expanding this registry is a chance to bring light into that darkness. It will help us gather the data we desperately need while giving a voice and hope to those enduring one of the most devastating diagnoses a family can face.

When my husband, Bruce Willis, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), our family was thrust into a world we were totally unprepared to navigate.

On this National Cancer Survivors Day, we’re honoring the journey of every cancer survivor.

Chances are that you know someone who has survived cancer. In the United States alone, 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime.

Cancer survivors deserve to thrive after cancer, not just survive it. I introduced legislation (Senate Bill 1002) to allow patients that qualify for out-of-state telehealth care access to continue telehealth visits with their out-of-state provider after their eligibility ends.

Join millions of cancer survivors and supporters around the world as we celebrate life and raise awareness of the challenges of cancer survivorship.

I was so impressed by the young entrepreneurs who brought their "A" game to the Galt Children’s Maker Market. It is a one-time marketplace where local children:

🔸 Launch their own business
🔹 Build a brand + create products/services
🔸 Learn real-world marketing
🔹 Sell to live customers!

Thank you for having me as a judge! Galt is full of future leaders and supportive community members who encourage our kids to dream big and go after it.

After reading the shocking report about the lack of academic preparation of first year UC San Diego students, I introduced Senate Bill 1321 to examine the issue. Sadly, my legislation was met with defeat.

In addition, Senator Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh and I asked for an audit of remedial class usage and admission practices of the UCs and CSUs. To date, our audit request has not been approved for a hearing in the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC).

With only one scheduled JLAC hearing left on August 11th, I hope the leaders of the committee will seriously consider our request, especially considering this article shines light on the pleas from HUNDREDS of UC faculty regarding the fragile future of our state’s higher education system when standards for accepted students are ambiguous at best.

Hundreds of University of California professors are urging the system to reinstate the SAT or ACT requirement for STEM majors by 2027, saying that the test-optional policy has created a widening preparation gap that threatens the value of UC science, technology, engineering and math degrees.

Galt Police Department, Caltrans, District 10, and the community came together to honor Officer Harminder Grewal, whose life of service and courage continues to shape the community he loved.

We dedicated a portion of California State Route 99 in his name, and the signs will stand as a reminder of his bravery, compassion, and service.

Officer Grewal died in August 2021 after a pickup truck crossed the median on SR-99 and collided head-on with his patrol car. He and his partner were responding to assist with evacuation orders for the Caldor Fire.

His legacy lives on in every life he protected and every person he lifted up.
