Hosting the World Cup taught us a lot about the demands we should expect for LA28. Top of the list: transit that works when the whole world shows up.
So I got to work and secured an investment for shade at bus stops and real-time rider info. Small things that make a hot, crowded commute bearable.

I strongly agree, which is why I’ve supported legislation to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Individual with Disabilities Education Act and continue to seek fair treatment for all Americans, regardless of ability. (2/2)
When I visited @eastersealssocal.bsky.social, an organization that provides disability services in my district as well as nationwide, they said it best: disability is not a dirty word. (1/2)
I talk about transit-oriented housing... a lot. But what is it exactly, and why do we need it?
Here’s your quick crash course on why it’s commonsense to build where we’ve already invested in transit:
I’m praying for the loved ones of these brave Americans, for the swift recovery of the injured, and for the safe return of the missing service member.
Terrible news out of Jordan. Two American service members were killed defending against Iranian missile and drone attacks, four were wounded, and one remains missing. May the memories of the fallen be a blessing.
This is the latest win I’ve scored for Angelenos looking to get from here to there, comfortably. (2/2)
LA has over 13,000 bus stops, and too few offer shade and shelter to keep riders out of harsh summer heatwaves.
That’ll start to change soon, because I secured an investment to provide real, comfortable shade to riders taking transit around town. (1/2)
Ask most people who's becoming homeless in LA, and most will guess wrong.
It's seniors.
We can fix this and it starts with building more affordable housing.

Proud to take part in a roundtable with national housing stakeholders yesterday.
I’m grateful to @repemiliasykes.bsky.social and @friedman.house.gov for bringing us together and to all the advocates for making clear why we need to keep up the momentum to lower the cost of housing.
That's why I wrote legislation like the Rim of the Valley Corridor Protection Act and Public Access Protection Act, two bills which will expand and protect access to the green spaces that we all love. (2/2)
California is a world-wide destination for our spectacular wildlands. July is National Parks and Recreation Month, and I can’t imagine a better time to get out and explore all of CA’s amazing resources. (1/2)
