You earned this confirmation @lsanchez020! Proud to have supported you. Thanks for steadying our state through tumultuous times, and showing the world how California is putting clean air and affordable energy within reach for working moms like you!
“Every regulation, every incentive, every program is ultimately about the air that my son & every child in CA will breathe as they grow up.”
At her confirmation hearing, Chair @lsanchez020 shared the personal commitment behind her work & why CA must keep fighting for cleaner air.

Your gas receipt shows the price, but not the full story.
Global oil markets, taxes, refinery changes & consumer protections all play a role in what Californians pay at the pump.
What really fuels gas prices? The facts might surprise you.

🚨 HISTORIC: The CA Legislature just passed SB 1387 (Stern)! The bill passed the Assembly 62-0, with 17 abstentions, and the Senate 38-0, with 2 abstentions.
California is now on the verge of becoming the first state in the nation to recognize Jewish identity as an ethnicity in law. Thank you to Senator Stern for authoring this bill.
The bill now heads to Governor Newsom, who has until September 30 to sign it into law. #JewishCalifornia

Thank you @CAForestry for slogging through a long, arduous rulemaking to finally get Zone 0 regulations done.
NEW: California just adopted new Zone 0 regulations — a key step toward making more homes resilient to wildfire.
This science-backed standard will help reduce risk and protect more homes. Congratulations to @CAForestry for their tireless work to get this done.

🔥 Fire season is here, and being prepared can make all the difference.
🚗 Take a few minutes today to identify two evacuation routes from your home. Having a primary and a backup route can help keep you and your loved ones safe.

This weekend, @LACOFD lifeguards made two dramatic riptide rescues in the treacherous waters off Venice Beach. Which led me to the surprising discovery that CA lifeguards are not given first responder status.
@SenHenryStern is working to change that with SCR 192 legislation, a bill that (for once) will not cost taxpayers anything but will give lifeguards the honor they earn daily.
My @LAmag story here (with incredible video of rescue near the Venice Pier)

Appreciate the FEMA collaboration in the wake of this disaster. Disasters are not partisan. Our responses can’t be either.
NEW: California just secured a Presidential Emergency Declaration for the Garden Grove hazmat incident.
Working closely with local responders, the state has moved aggressively to protect residents in the impacted area.
This morning, @OCFireAuthority announced that the risk of a massive explosion has been mitigated. This new federal assistance will further bolster our resources to help resolve this situation.

VCFD along with CAL FIRE is on scene of a 1-acre brush fire along Adams Canyon Fire Road west of Santa Paula. Forward progress has been stopped thanks to an aggressive and coordinated attack from the air and ground.
Firefighters will be on scene for the next 3-4 hours mopping up hot spots and ensuring the fire is completely extinguished. There are no reported injuries to firefighters or
civilians, no structures threatened or damaged and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

#SandyFire Air Quality Update: Due to the Sandy Fire’s proximity to the Santa Susana Field Laboratory area, air quality monitoring is being conducted around the fire perimeter. Monitoring equipment has been proactively deployed to establish background air quality readings and to help assess conditions should the fire advance further into the area. At this time, the fire has not crossed into the Field Laboratory property.
Air monitoring information helps incident personnel and public health officials evaluate smoke and air conditions and provide timely updates to the community.
Residents can monitor current smoke and air quality conditions using the AirNow Fire and Smoke Map: fire.airnow.gov/?lang=en#12.…

Thank you @CAgovernor for working with @FEMA to support our fight against the #SandyFire. Praying for the warriors at @VCFD_PIO and all through the ranks of the unified command in their battle tonight.
California just secured a Fire Management Assistance Grant via @FEMA to bolster our response to the #SandyFire in Ventura County.
As we continue to mobilize resources to protect communities, I urge Californians in impacted areas to follow guidance from local officials.

It’s clear we are in a climate crisis—one that demands action, not rollbacks.
That’s why my colleagues and I are urging the California Air Resources Board to strengthen Cap-and-Invest—and reject changes that would weaken it, jeopardize pollution targets, and divert billions from wildfire prevention and utility bill relief.
No delays. No rollbacks. Read the full letter: link in bio → “Press Releases.”

Constructive advocacy by @CAProblemSolver. We can stabilize fuel supplies and still go hard on climate to reduce demand.
At the press conference this morning, the Problem Solvers Caucus raised urgent concerns about the state’s fuel supply and energy security.
In a letter to the California Energy Commission, we warn that shrinking fuel inventories, heavy reliance on imports, and global instability are putting California at risk of supply disruptions and rising prices.
We are calling for immediate transparency, overdue reports, and a clear emergency strategy—including supply flexibility, better monitoring, and coordination with the California Air Resources Board.
Bottom line: California’s current fuel trajectory is unsustainable—and action is needed now to prevent deeper economic and energy disruptions.

SB 1295: Cutting bills and Reducing Fossil Power with Small Local Battery Storage
This bill passed out of committee today and helps lower energy costs and reduce reliance on fossil fuels by expanding small, local battery storage in our communities. That means cleaner energy, a more reliable grid, and real savings for Californians.

California drivers are being held hostage by petrodictators. Now is not the time to back off our climate goals. @AirResources needs to keep us on track for 2030 and not let the oil industry leverage the war in Iran into a cap-and-invest deal that’s all carrots and no sticks.

Important report on enhancing California’s resiliency to natural catastrophes per SB 254 by the great @JoshBeckerSV just dropped. Rising utility/insurance bills compel us to take action, and I look forward to working with colleagues and stakeholders on solutions that put victims and ratepayers first. cawildfirefund.com/sites/wil…

One year later, the devastation of the LA fires remains. Today I stood with colleagues in a moment of silence to remember my home that was burned, friends that were killed, and beloved places lost forever. I know what it means to lose everything in a fire. Survivors have already endured enough, and they shouldn’t be caught in political games. The court has ruled now it’s time for President Trump to release the funds and move recovery forward.
