__SALUTATION__

One of the things that makes the Northeast San Fernando Valley so special is our vibrant small business community. Did you know that small businesses make up over 90% of all businesses in California and employ nearly half of the state’s workforce? Strong local businesses are the backbone of our communities, and building connections is key to helping them thrive.

You are invited to join my office for our Second Annual Small Business Mixer, a community networking event designed to bring together local entrepreneurs, business owners, and community partners.

Dear San Fernando Valley,

I am excited to invite you to the Grand Opening of YOUR new Assembly District Office! It was important for us to create a space that was accessible to our community, so we are now in the heart of the NE Valley, near public transit and plentiful parking. Here, you will be able to access assistance navigating state agencies, stay informed about legislation affecting our communities, and gather together.

Dear Neighbors,

As reports of ICE activity continue in our community, I want to ensure you and your family have accurate information and access to trusted resources.

We were made aware of confirmed ICE activity in the Northeast San Fernando Valley, including in North Hills, Panorama City, and Sylmar. During times like these, fear and uncertainty can spread quickly--but knowledge is power.

Dear Northeast Valley neighbors,

As the year comes to an end, I want to reflect on what we have accomplished together as a community. This past year was guided by your voices, needs, and advocacy. Together we worked to advance state policies that support and uplift our district. With the support of you and our partners, six new laws were passed and signed by the Governor. This progress is made possible through our collective efforts and commitment to one another.

As we enter the holiday season, I want to take a moment to share my deep appreciation for you and our entire community. Assembly District 43 truly reflects strength, resilience, and a powerful sense of pride. I am grateful not only to be part of this district, but to have the honor of representing a community filled with heart, determination, and fight.

Happy Thanksgiving!

As we enter this season of gratitude and reflection, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to every member of our community. These past few months have brought challenges that have tested our resilience, yet time and again, we have shown what is possible when we support one another with compassion and unity. I am deeply grateful for the kindness and strength that define the 43rd District.

Dear Neighbor,

Did you know that according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly half of all car seats are installed or used incorrectly?  Some studies even find error rates as high as 70–90%, depending on the type of seat and the child’s age.

On behalf of Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez, and in partnership with the Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) and the California Highway Patrol (CHP), you are invited to our Car Seat Safety Event, a free, hands-on opportunity to learn how to properly install and use your child’s car seat.

Dear Neighbors,

After a busy and rewarding month back home in the District, I’m now back in Sacramento, ready to continue fighting for the resources, policies, and support our community deserves. I want to take a moment to share the latest updates from our work both at home and at the Capitol. Over the summer recess, I had the opportunity to connect directly with many of you by hosting events, meeting with local leaders and small businesses, and continuing to advocate for the needs of our community.

Community Swearing In Ceremony

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Community Swearing-In Ceremony—it was truly inspiring to see our community come together in such a powerful way. The support you all have shown me as I take on the honor and responsibility of representing us in Sacramento, is humbling.
