Busy week in Sacramento -- the Senate passed three of my bills supporting Diablo Canyon communities, protecting nonprofit beneficiary gifts, and expanding access to HIV prevention medication. I appreciate my Senate colleagues for advancing these measures to the Assembly.

Highway 1 through Big Sur is reopened. After years of closures & hundreds of millions in economic losses to the region, this is welcome news for local businesses, workers, residents, and visitors alike. Grateful to everyone who worked tirelessly to reconnect the Central Coast.

The Senate passed my resolution declaring May as Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month. We’ve made progress, but early diagnosis, equitable care, and continued research remain critical. Grateful to the advocates leading this work. sd17.senate.ca.gov/news/senate-pa…

Just sent out my latest newsletter with updates from the Capitol and across the Central Coast. From the state budget to coastal protections and local priorities, there’s a lot underway. Take a look: sd17.senate.ca.gov/news/johns-jou…

I convened a hearing this week on LGBTQ+ seniors -- and the message was clear: Too many people are still falling through the cracks. Seniors aging w/ HIV & transgender older adults especially are facing rising costs, housing instability & barriers to care. sd17.senate.ca.gov/news/laird-hea…

Thank you to the CA State Senate for passing @SenJohnLaird’s SJR-4 urging Congress to reverse harmful NIH funding cuts. CA currently gets $5B+ annually, with $2B+ going to UCs & CSUs. These cuts threaten future treatments, current research & jobs. #CALeg #CaliforniaLegislature

No family should have to endure what Erica Cole and her mother experienced. SB 29 ensures that families can seek justice on behalf of a deceased loved one. It's about accountability, compassion, and ensuring such tragedies never happen again. sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/04/04/we-…
