Thank you to the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce for inviting me to this year’s State of the City. It was inspiring to hear about the progress Santa Ana has made, and I look forward to the work and opportunities ahead.

Congratulations to the City of Santa Ana on breaking ground on the city’s first dog park. Slated to open in March 2026, the new Centennial Park space will soon be a go-to spot for dog owners across the community. Thank you to the advocates who made this possible!

Jack and Sally joined the Anaheim Halloween Festival and Parade, turning downtown into a nightmare of color, costumes and community fun. A frightfully fun way to wrap up October — Happy Halloween, everyone! 👻

Tomorrow! Join us in Anaheim for a free Senior Resources Fair at the Brookhurst Community Center. Guests can receive free health screenings, vaccines, assistance with CalFresh and Medi-Cal sign-ups, and information about community programs. We hope to see you there!

I hope that my years of experience provide some benefit and some expertise in legislating and how to work a bill through the process and how to get a bill signed. Read more here:

"Democratic Santa Ana Sen. Tom Umberg had Newsom sign 16 of his bills, the most behind San Francisco Sen. Scott Wiener, who had 21. As the Senate Budget Committee chair, Wiener is the lead author of mandatory budget bills that skew his totals."

Wishing all who celebrate a bright and joyful Diwali!
