Greetings‚
Friday was the last day for bills to be introduced and‚ as of February 10th‚ nearly 1‚090 bills have been introduced between the Assembly and Senate. While my district office staff has been assisting dozens of constituents like you with navigating state agencies and accessing unemployment payments‚ my staff in Sacramento and I have been researching bills‚ meeting with various groups regarding legislative issues‚ and preparing for committees to convene.
Recently‚ I met with the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) to discuss issues related to the provision of safe‚ reliable and cost effective electricity. Constituents and representatives from Truckee-Donner‚ Plumas-Sierra‚ and Redding were present. (Top left.) My staff and I also met with the California Fish and Game Wardens Association to discuss Fish and Game Warden recruitment‚ retention and responsibilities. (Bottom middle.) Last week I met with David Schnell and Paul Neyman of GENASYS to discuss legislative priorities. (Top right.) While the company is based in San Diego‚ a subsidiary of GENASYS‚ Zonehaven‚ has been used by Siskiyou County to communicate to residents during disasters this past year. Thank you to the individuals who took time to meet with me regarding important legislative issues.
This year I am Vice Chair of the Appropriations and Education committees. Prior to committees convening‚ my team and I met with the committee Chairs and staff‚ and even held a mock hearing to ensure thorough and efficient execution during a busy season of hearing bills. I know many of you will want to reach out about supporting or opposing legislation in the coming months. My team has created a fast and easy way for you to share your thoughts with us via the “Contact Me“ form on my website‚ which you can find here.
