California State Senator District 23. Representing Santa Clarita, Lancaster, Palmdale, Victorville, Hesperia, and Adelanto.
Californians pay more for a gallon of gas than anyone else in the country and it’s largely due to state regulations and taxes that drive up costs. This has got to stop. No on SB 684.
Awful. Praying for all those affected.

My heart breaks for everyone affected by the devastating floods in Texas. I'm keeping the victims, their families, first responders, and their entire communities in my thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. 🙏🏼💔
Summer is the perfect time to catch up on some great books! And, exciting news, the CA State Library is offering FREE access to over 300,000 eBooks & eAudiobooks, and all you need is an email and an internet connection to download the app. Go to the State Library’s announcement…

Today, I joined fellow lawmakers and hundreds of charter school advocates to oppose AB 84—a harmful bill that threatens to defund charter schools and jeopardize a proven educational model. This legislation would hurt hundreds of thousands of California students, especially our…
🚨Bad Bill Alert🚨 Charter schools are more than just another option—they are oftentimes lifelines for students who fall through the cracks in traditional school systems. AB 84 would drastically cut funds for California charter schools, hurting some of our most vulnerable…

Buying minors for sex is one of the worst crimes that someone can commit. It’s an embarrassment that we even had to pass AB 379. But I’m grateful that today we're one step closer to being able to charge perpetrators with a felony. Thank you @maggykrell for your leadership on…
United for a common cause, there's no limit to what we can achieve! It was an honor to attend the “Back to School Bash” in Hesperia this weekend. Huge thanks to @AGreaterHopeCA and Restore Unity for making it all possible. Your incredible efforts provided 500 backpacks for…




Thank you @Angeles_NF firefighters and @LACoFDPIO for your quick action to stop forward progress on the #BertFire
#BertFire I-5 at Biscailuz Drive Angeles NF firefighters assisting Los Angeles County Fire Department have stopped the forward progress of the fire at 47 acres. Videos - LACoFD’s Helitanker 55, part of the Quick Reaction Force and Angeles NF Dozer 10. Map courtesy of the…
AVOID THE AREA: There has been a brush fire reported near The Old Road and Biscailuz Drive in Castaic. The fire is currently 3-4 acres with no structures threatened. Please avoid the area. #BertIC
Even though the state has doubled its income over the past 10 years, reckless spending has left Californians worse off than before. The cost of living has skyrocketed, the education system has worsened, roads have worsened, and our public safety system has failed to protect…
Today, we celebrate the birth of our great nation — a land of freedom, courage, and opportunity. May we cherish the freedoms we enjoy and never forget the sacrifices made to protect them. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, joyful, and patriotic Fourth of July!

Decades of failed policies got us to where we are today. Biden’s open borders and CA’s sanctuary city laws directly led to the situation we are in. Sanctuary city laws do not allow local law enforcement to coordinate with federal authorities regarding violent criminals,…
California State Senators are arguing over a resolution to condemn ICE raids. Republicans want Democrats to acknowledge state law barring law enforcement from cooperating with ICE is part of the issue. They voted not to. “Lying about why we’re here does nothing to fix it.”
I’m grateful to the Assembly Business and Professions Committee for advancing my bill, SB 402, which will help to ensure the highest standard of care for those in the autism community. This issue is deeply personal to me, and I remain committed to ensuring better support and…
That’s not what the letter says. Please read it, Senator. Bad policies like CA sanctuary laws and Biden’s open border chaos have harmed our communities. I applaud the President for suing to stop LA's sanctuary city rules. I hope Senator Padilla will support ending these…
California has the largest economy in the nation, and the 4th largest economy in the WORLD. Not despite our immigrant population, but because of it. Glad to see Republicans in the state legislature understand the gravity of the situation in California, and be bold enough to…
$8 gas? Believe it. Newsom’s new fuel rule kicks in tomorrow — adding up to 65 cents a gallon, maybe more. Refineries are shutting down AND Sacramento can’t stop taxing. The Governor and his crew never met a gas hike they didn’t love. Enough is enough.
Monitoring this situation. Please follow directions from fire fighters and emergency responders.
L.A. County firefighters were dispatched on Thursday afternoon to a brush fire in Val Verde after a fire training exercise caught on nearby brush, according to radio dispatch traffic. signalscv.com/2025/06/firefi…
King Gavin?
California voters overwhelmingly approved a tough-on-crime ballot measure in the November election. Governor Gavin Newsom refuses to fund it. 📝: @hannahcwiley sfstandard.com/2025/06/16/gav…
California Republicans and Democrats may not always agree—but on this, we stand together. Thank you both for leading with clarity in these turbulent times.
“Let us never forget - we’re Americans first and we’re better than this. This nation must choose a different path.” I’m joining Pro Tem McGuire @ilike_mike to condemn the horrific political violence in Minnesota.
Today, I voted no on the state budget proposed by California’s majority party. Budgets are a reflection of our priorities—and this one fails the hardworking Californians who I am here to represent. Despite promises by the legislative leaders to make 2025 the “year of…
California doesn’t have a money problem, it has a priorities problem. It is wrong to balance the budget on the backs of our most vulnerable and I’m calling on the Governor and legislative leaders to restore these dangerous cuts. Thanks you @Gonzalez4AD36 for your leadership on…
