They know firsthand what the job entails, and I am honored to have their trust and support.

I am proud to serve on the Advisory Board of Dress For Success Sacramento, which works to ensure women are financially independent and are treated with dignity and respect. Dress For Success also works to help formerly incarcerated women through its social enterprise program. Here I am with Founder Veronica Smith and my friend Senator Nancy Skinner.

Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs (APAPA) is a nonprofit that has been building a pipeline of API interns who go on to enter careers in public service since 2001.

Had a delicious lunch at the Beachcomber Restaurant in Crystal Cove! Revenue generated by cottage stays and food service at the Crystal Cove Conservancy is channeled back into park improvements and education and conservation initiatives. Crystal Cove State Park is an ideal outdoor classroom for cultivating young environmentalists, and the Conservancy is dedicated to protecting this rare piece of California’s history through a unique social enterprise model working in partnership with California State Parks.

In solidarity,
