I'm honored to take part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Oakland small business owner Mohommed Moalikyar, who came to this country with very little but was determined to make a difference in his community through compassion and love of family. Knowing hardships firsthand, Mohommed was determined to help those in need of support and through his newly renovated McDonald's restaurant, he is able to help families regularly, employ community members and leave a legacy for his children - a dream come true!

"California's current language access requirements are not sufficient to provide meaningful language assistance to limited-English-proficient voters..." Today's LA Times article shows how my bill, AB 918, will help! http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-updates-california-voters-who-don-t-speak-1508170418-htmlstory.html

I want to share with you exciting news that AB 918 has been signed into law by the Governor. This bill will ensure access to the fundamental right to vote for limited-English proficient voters. As the state with the most immigrants and the most limited-English voters, California has an obligation to be on the leading edge of providing language assistance in elections. Specifically, this bill would ensure that translated copies of ballots are accessible to voters, and that poll workers are trained on proper handling of the translated ballots. It will also require counties to put translated signage in polling places to inform voters about the languages spoken by poll workers, and make copies of translated ballots available to vote-by-mail voters. Moreover, AB 918 would require counties to file a report after every statewide general election documenting their performance recruiting bilingual poll workers and require the Secretary of State to post such report on his or her website. Without adequate language access to voting, immigrant communities face inequitable barriers to voting. No American should be denied the privilege of voting because of a language barrier.

I'm so proud that Gov. Jerry Brown has signed AB 262, the Buy Clean California Act! This bill will require the state, UC and CSU systems to purchase specific building products, like steel, from cleaner manufacturers. This bill aligns California's substantial purchasing power with its environmental values. AB 262 is a first-of-its-kind state law to address greenhouse gas emissions from the procurement standpoint. Our bill has been supported by a remarkable coalition of business, labor and environmental groups working together to reduce greenhouse gases and advance California’s global climate leadership. I cannot thank the Governor enough for his unwavering commitment to our environment. I'm excited to see AB 262 become law and add to California's environmental legacy! http://bit.ly/2xHGB0G
