Assemblyman Joe Patterson

Today I introduced legislation to ban the use of SNAP benefits on certain types of sugary snacks and drinks. We stole this idea from states like Hawaii.

California Politics 360 this Sunday: •State secrecy agreements & new law that tries to stop them with @Patterdude & @ChrisMicheli •CAGOP Chair @CorrinRankin •Update on state housing laws, goals and construction with @mnolangray 📺 @kcranews 💻 calpolitics360.com

NEW: It will soon be a crime in California for state lawmakers to sign non-disclosure agreements when they write new laws or use taxpayer dollars. Gov. Newsom signed the bill tonight filed in response to our reporting that uncovered their use. kcra.com/article/califo…

🎙️@AsmJoePatterson: "a person speaking may not mention political parties. I ask that the author no longer do that." Assembly Speaker Lowenthal: "The issue with this particular measure is affects political parties."

The California Assembly takes a moment of silence for the Minnesota lawmakers gunned down over the weekend.

@ZavalaA But they don’t…

Update here that CA Republicans are now piling onto Democrat Bains’ call for Liane Randolph to resign. After Randolph said they don’t, CARB sent us a lengthy statement saying they *do* analyze impact of clean air rules to consumers. kcra.com/article/califo…

Two Assembly Republican bills to cut red tape and streamline wildfire prevention efforts passed committee this week. We won’t stop fighting to protect California and our communities from devastating wildfires.

#caleg Democrat leaders "intend" to protect California's children. @AsmJoePatterson is right. Their "intention" doesn't accomplish anything.

@Bob_916 @generaldwilson He has come to Rocklin to celebrate America every year! Quite a talent.

If you enjoyed @generaldwilson's incredible delivery of the National Anthem last night... you will be blessed by this worship service!

Proud to join with @JuanAlanisCA for my third attempt to make felony domestic violence to be classified as a “violent felony.” Believe it or not, some of the worst forms of domestic violence are eligible for early release. Our sponsor this year is @calsheriffs

I'm honored to work with @AsmJoePatterson on AB 292, a bill to help deliver justice for victims of domestic violence. This legislation would classify domestic violence as a “violent felony,” ensuring that the most dangerous offenders are held accountable and remain ineligible for early release. I urge my fellow legislators to join us in supporting this important bill.

I plan to introduced 2 pieces of legislation that will do the following: (1) Require PUC to allow public comment for all electricity rate increases. No more consent calendars (2) Require utilities to print on bills cost estimates of govt fees & mandates kcra.com/article/califo…

Looking forward to serving as vice chairman on these three policy committees: Utilities and Energy Health Housing and Community Development

Thank you @CommunityNotes for fact checking these completely ridiculous claims.

"The most important thing is that people know how decisions made by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats and the cost it puts on their everyday lives," Patterson said. Thx @huntersowards3 for covering our attempt to rein in CARB and promote transparency cbsnews.com/sacramento/new…

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the many veterans within Assembly District 5 and across the nation. These brave men and women have made profound sacrifices to protect our freedoms and uphold the values we hold dear. Thank you.

My official statement

New: California Republican Assemblymen urge Gov. Newsom to direct @AirResources to halt vote on updated Low Carbon Fuel Standards in order to analyze impact at the gas pump. They also call for special sesh to repeal the recently passed fuels storage law as refiners rethink CA.
