Assemblymember Mia Bonta Releases Statement on Federal Funding Freeze

For immediate release:

SACRAMENTO – Today, Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D – Oakland) released the following statement in response to the butchered attempt by the President to suddenly shutter federal assistance plans.

“The President’s executive order is an attack on the young couple about to go into labor, the student who thought they could afford college after receiving a grant, the first responder risking their life to protect their community. I’m happy this action has been paused for the time being. I am committed to supporting my constituents and the local organizations facing rent and payroll costs as this administration operates by trial and error.”
