Honored to have been recognized among these outstanding individuals and business owners as the 79th Assembly District’s Woman of the Year.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Community Celebration this afternoon. I had the pleasure recognizing our community leaders, small business owners, our scholars and our youth for making the 79th District a place heart and of excellence.

Congratulations to our friends @SanDiegoHabitat on the opening of their latest property, a beautiful new six-unit project in National City. I enjoyed meeting several of the new homeowners each of whom contributed 500 hours in sweat equity to build their new homes.

Fortunate to meet recent high school graduate Meliya Russom at the @sd_fdn’s Scholarship Celebration. Enrolling into UCLA this fall, Meliya delivered a brilliant 15-minute speech without a single note. This year, SDF awarded $3.5M in scholarships. 📚👏🏽😊 Congratulations students.
