The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services is closely monitoring the incident in Garden Grove and has deployed personnel to work alongside local partners. Please heed all orders from local authorities — evacuation orders have expanded.

.@CAGovernor Newsom has been briefed on the chemical leak in Garden Grove. @Cal_OES and multiple state agencies are engaged and have been coordinating with local authorities since the incident emerged last night. Our office continues to closely monitor the situation, and we urge residents in impacted areas to follow guidance from emergency officials.

By focusing on accessibility, connectivity, public safety, and showcasing California's creative icons, we can leave lasting impressions on visitors that motivate them to return time and again.

Thank you @Cal_Travel for the engaging conversation on how we can best utilize the upcoming World Cup and LA28 as tailwinds for future tourism in California.

We need an all-hands approach that breaks down the siloes by which mitigation work tends to operate, and we need it urgently. I will continue working with stakeholders through available channels to improve how this system can work for everybody.

Have been advocating for this critical support for the thousands of residents who remain displaced. I'm continuing to engage on this with our local partners, CalOES, and federal officials to secure the most aid we possibly can.

Louise is more than deserving of this award as a lifelong champion for education and opportunities for lifelong learners of all ages. Congratulations!

I was honored to present Louise Jaffe with the Iao Katagiri Community Impact Award at @CFCForChildcare's Betsy Awards celebration. This great nonprofit provides affordable childcare resources for families & providers to improve accessibility to quality service across the region.

We will not tolerate barriers that prevent survivors from receiving what they're justly owed.

Trump has been driving an affordability crisis. In CA, we're following through on our commitment to put residents first. Utility ratepayers will receive a total of $1.4B in credits this year, with the first round beginning this month. foxla.com/news/californi…

Great discussion with California Forward, Deploy Action, UC Davis Energy and Efficiency Institute, and my colleagues on an affordable, reliable energy and insurance future.

Always great to welcome our wonderful @LA28 delegation to the Capitol! Appreciated catching up with them on how preparations are looking for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Exciting groundbreaking for the George F Canyon Nature Center this week, which I was proud to secure $1.2M in state funding for! This is an important project to improve environmental education and connect our PVP community with the surrounding nature and conservation efforts.

California's farmworkers feed the world. Today, we celebrate #FarmworkersDay to recognize their work that embodies the California spirit and their organized movement that fought for human rights & worker protections.

Protecting patients during the most vulnerable moments of their lives requires strong oversight and decisive action like this. This will be an ongoing effort.... as bad actors become more sophisticated, so must our response to safeguard the dignity and trust of Californians.

Amazing results thanks to thoughtful policy and prioritized enforcement from @CAGovernor Newsom and @AGRobBonta! Was proud to lead the moratorium effort through #SB664 (2021) that allowed us to shift our focus and crack down on fraud.

Grateful to have been recognized by @CALandTrusts for our recent work that removes unnecessary red tape to more easily preserve land within our State Parks system - several state parks are already growing because of SB 630! mercurynews.com/2026/03/16/pop…
