Over the last few days, I have received a number of calls & emails about the city’s response to the situation unfolding at Tinhorn Flats. I firmly believe that this establishment’s behavior is reckless & stands in stark contrast to the health, safety & well-being of #Burbank.

Tonight I am issuing the following statement regarding the events at Tin Horn Flats and the hateful, violent crime last night that landed a 19-year-old young man in the hospital. There is still more work to do. We can and must be better than this #Burbank.

What an eventful day! I started by taking the oath of office as your next Assemblymember for AD 44.
Next, I voted to re-elect @CASpeakerRivas & to adopt our 2025/2026 rules package.
Lastly, I introduced my first two pieces of legislation: AB 43 & AB 44.
Ready to get to work!

Russia has embarked on an unprovoked attack against #Ukraine. This is yet another armed attempt to overthrow democracy.
At the request of many residents, I’ve asked the City Manager’s Office if we can light #Burbank City Hall in blue & yellow. We stand #UnitedWithUkraine!

Burbank doesn’t have a great record of adding affordable housing to our community.
But last night, the City Council voted 4-1 to approve a 100% affordable housing project (148 total units) that will be constructed with a workforce paid the prevailing wage. Proud to support it!

I agree. Previous City Councils presumably saw no issues with many gun stores and that’s why existing zoning allows for it. But we’re not accepting the status quo. The City Council has directed staff to bring back options later this Summer for our consideration. Enough is enough.

Earlier this week, the State of Texas took an egregious step to eliminate a woman’s right to choose.
This near-total ban on abortions is draconian, especially given that there are no exceptions for rape or incest.

I agree. If Congress can’t act (or won’t act) to address this growing National problem, then it’s the responsibility of state & local governments to do more.
Our City Council won’t tolerate the status quo any longer. We’ve directed staff to bring back options. Enough is enough.

#Burbank Municipal Code currently prohibits “impersonating…a person of the opposite sex,” and only allows dancing “between persons of the opposite sex.”
Next week, the City Council will take the long-overdue step of repealing these discriminatory local laws.
