Everyone everywhere has a fundamental right to breathe clean air, drink pure water, and play or relax in safe green spaces. It’s more urgent than ever before that we take steps, guided by science, to preserve those basic rights and to reduce human impact on our environment so our planet continues to sustain us.

I’m proud to serve as a member of the Environmental Caucus, advocating for crucial legislation on environmental issues facing our state, as well as on the Committee on Coastal Protection and Access to Natural Resources.

As your Assemblymember, I championed laws that establish groundbreaking environmental protection standards. I introduced AB 1100, to increase parking infrastructure for electric-vehicle charging, and AB 987, the bill that delivers the new Clippers stadium to Inglewood and which requires the arena and associated developments to meet a net-zero greenhouse gas emission standard. I also co-authored SB 54 and AB 1080, policies to reduce pollution from plastic packaging and products, including single-use plastic straws.

I’m committed to protecting the quality of our air and water, developing green space, defending our public lands, and keeping California a leader in the fight against global climate change.
