DeSaulnier Digest
This past week, was a historic week for our country as the nation was gripped by the confirmation process of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
At our upcoming town hall in Richmond, we will be discussing what is happening in Washington, DC, and I will take your questions on topics ranging from legislation we are working on in Congress, the Supreme Court confirmation process, and much more. Details for the town hall are below. We hope to see you there!
Last week, while much of Capitol Hill and the media were focused on the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing on the sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, we were hard at work passing multiple bills to make our aviation system safer, address the opioid epidemic, recognize our nation's dedicated youth, and honor a former dedicated civil servant of the Richmond community.
More on our legislative accomplishments and my position on the Kavanuaugh confirmation below.
