2020 Women's History Month
Since 1987, March has been celebrated as National Women’s History Month, recognizing the great contributions that women have made to our nation.
I celebrate all the wonderful women that I have the privilege to work with and to all enlightened people that support Women's rights.
Our office hosted a productive meeting with key stakeholders to discuss issues related to homeless and severe mental illness. With members from the county, state, and local agencies in attendance we are working to find alternatives to address these concerns.
Today, I am proud to have introduced Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 185 which designates September 4, 2020, and in each succeeding year, as Taekwondo Day in California. I learned the importance of Taekwondo by two grandmasters, Master Yang, who is a member of the United States Taekwondo team and Master Lee, President of the California Taekwondo Association.
My goal is to have our community support ACR 185. In 2000, Taekwondo was adopted as an official Sport in the Olympics. As we look forward to watching this summer’s Olympic games and the Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games in 2028, I encourage us all to support the sport of Taekwondo.
Taekwondo is the art of self-defense that originated in Korea. It is recognized as one of the oldest forms of martial arts in the world, reaching back over 2,000 years. The first Taekwondo school (Kwan) was started in Yong Chun, Seoul, Korea in 1945. I encourage men and women in our district to join in learning the beautiful martial art of Taekwondo and about the rich Korean history

“California has been grappling with a housing shortage, a growing homeless population and a poverty rate that is the second in the nation.”
“This is not a problem for just low-income people - it is also a problem for middle-class people and even people with higher income without enough savings.”
Capitol Goes Red!
Today, I rose and coauthored HR-79 American Heart Month and Wear Red Day in the Capitol.
This February, show your loved one you care with your whole heart. Capitol Goes Red Day is to raise awareness of heart disease as the number one killer of women.
Prevention is a key component to living a healthy life, which is why knowledge of this disease and recent medical advancements is crucial for you and your family’s health
February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. Today, I signed a pledge to support ending domestic violence for women and teens.
Less than 30 percent of researchers worldwide are women. On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, lets change that narrative.
I encourage all young women in our district to continue their work and contributions to science and math. Your devotion to improving interest in science and mathematics for the next generation is going to path the way for many young women to pursue promising careers in a variety of scientific fields.
