The vast majority of people understand that it makes no sense to say that we can’t have good roads and and great hospitals in rural places and we can’t have fully funded public schools at the exact same moment when the wealthiest people in…
Hospitals are closing, people are losing their healthcare, and Medicaid decisions being made in Lansing will help decide whether we can do something about that.
The conversations I've been having with the governor and with my team are about the here and now and there will always be time for the conversations that come after that.

California has chosen a different path – one that rewards work, grows the economy and puts working families first. We believe if you work hard, you deserve a decent paycheck. They think $7.25 an hour is enough. We don’t.
For years, Donald Trump and Republicans have blocked efforts to raise the federal minimum wage while handing tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.
Sergeant Rampersad had tomorrows waiting for her: birthdays, ordinary mornings, evenings spent with her loved ones.
I will be looking for someone who can be an effective leader of our police department, from top to bottom.
I share Chief Barnes' hope that we can return our focus to addressing youth gun violence and ensuring that every family can feel safe in their neighborhood and across the city.
