Heartbroken to hear about Lauren Hammond’s passing. She was a friend, mentor & incredible leader. When I ran @CaWomenLead she was my first board president. She just texted me a week ago with words of encouragement. I will miss her & send prayers to all who loved her.

.@SouthwestAir daughter stuck in OAK due to another Christmas where SWA can’t get their act together & run planes in the west on time. Thought you would get it together this year given last year’s debacle, which impacted our travel. I was wrong. Never have this issue on @Delta.

This week I participated in our first info. hearing on retail theft as public safety chair. We heard abt the effects that retail theft is having on our communities, retailers, as well as possible solutions. I’m committed to tackling this & putting fwd balanced leg in early 2024!

We're ending 2023 by setting new records to combat organized retail crime. @CHP_HQ conducted over 500 investigations this year alone. We're serious about keeping more shoppers, merchants, and retail districts safe this holiday season and always.

Retail crime is not just an inconvenience. It's bad for business & an issue of safety - and the perception of safety - for workers, owners, & the public. The Select Committee on Retail Theft is ready to get to work.  #retailtheft #retailcrime #shoplifting #organizedcrime #caleg
