The DeSaulnier Digest: Kicking Off August District Work Period
I'm looking forward to our virtual town hall with California Attorney General Rob Bonta tomorrow beginning at 5:45 p.m. on Zoom and YouTube. AG Bonta has been a leader in the legal fight against the Trump Administration's unconstitutional and harmful policies. We will provide updates on the latest from the courts and Congress and take your questions.
If you have already RSVP'd, you will receive a Zoom link to join the event. You can also join via Youtube livestream and submit questions in the comments section.
I hope to see you virtually tomorrow for this important conversation.
Sincerely,
Mark DeSaulnier
Member of Congress
