Last week, I introduced AB 2157 with Assemblymember Bryan and the United Steelworkers, to make the Displaced Oil and Gas Workers Fund (DOGWF).
The DOGWF program is the only program that helps displaced oil and gas workers in transitioning into sectors that match their skills.

Thank you to the Legislative Black Caucus for authoring HR 84, which I am proud to co-author. HR 84 condemns President Trump for posting a racist video that dehumanized Former President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. We will not tolerate the normalization of racist imagery, slurs, and hate.
