2023 District Survey
Several bills are still making their way through the Legislature, and I thought it would be an important time to have you weigh in on some of the more talked-about pieces of legislation this year.
To get a pulse of where Assembly District 78 stands, I’ve created a district survey. Here you can find more information on each bill, including analysis and bill text, as well as multiple choice options on how you would vote.
Feel free to contact my office if you have any questions.
