I’ve been delighted to have spent the past six weeks in the district, engaging with constituents and spending time in the community. We hosted four town halls to discuss some of the issues most important to CA-10, including youth mental health, animal welfare, climate change, and civic engagement. I also met one-on-one with constituents in two rounds of Virtual District Office Hours.
