I took this photo of @KamalaHarris at 3am on election night in her 2010 campaign for AG. Early returns had her so far behind that her opponent had declared victory. By dawn, she’d pulled ahead by a fraction of a point. I can be patient waiting for the results of #Election2024.

I am absolutely thrilled and deeply honored to have the endorsement of Governor @gavinnewsom! Over the past five years, I’ve been proud to stand side by his side, tackling CA’s biggest challenges— from affordable housing and supporting middle class families, to protecting our democracy. His leadership and vision for CA have been an inspiration. Now, together, let’s make history! #TeamLowLetsGo #CD16 #EvanLowForCongress

The Harris-Walz campaign just released a new ad, 'Knows,' highlighting Harris' upbringing.

Via @AvalonZoppo: Donald Trump and other Republicans are turning to Harris’ record as a prosecutor to claim she was “soft on crime,” but Harris often used the phrase “smart on crime” to describe her criminal justice principles. loom.ly/D8AQC68

Proud to be among the many fantastic @KamalaHarris alumni who signed this letter wholeheartedly supporting the VP’s campaign to be our next President.
Thrilled to share that ~300 former staff (and counting!) of Vice President @KamalaHarris — from across her career — are proud to endorse her for President of the United States.

Ever since the #CALeg Swing Space was constructed, I’ve begun jovially welcoming visitors to their “historic LOB” — which wound up spurring my genuine interest in researching this building’s history. Here's a🧵!

Also known as the Professional and Vocational Standards Building, the structure was expanded in 1949 to become the complete building we know today. DCA would remain housed there until 1980, when it moved to 400 R Street. Legislative staff would subsequently move into the new LOB.

So here we are today! There remain many mysteries to solve, like: Is there really a secret tunnel in the basement? Where's the bomb shelter? Why is there still a weight-shaming antique scale? Is the abandoned cafeteria on the 6th floor haunted? I humbly remain your LOB historian.

What an honor to receive the @CCAPP4U Recovery Ally Award today for my work to advance recovery in our community. Thank you to all the supporters who helped pass #AB1130 to modernize our laws to humanize those with addiction and treat them with appropriate dignity.

I'm convinced that the #CALeg Senate's phone system hold music is a reworking of the 1982 hit song "Our House" by Madness, and proving this theory has turned into a monomaniacal obsession.

It’s only the May Revise if it’s from the Révision region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling structural deficit.
