I was proud to support legislation last year to equip schools with AEDs and proper CPR training. This #WearRedDay, I encourage everyone to brush up on the signs of heart attacks and strokes so we are all prepared to help someone in a cardiac emergency.

Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day! I'm so glad my daughters -- through swimming and waterpolo -- had the opportunity to play, compete, set goals, challenge themselves, try, fail, excel, be teammates, grow, get confident, and learn they are powerful!

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We remember the over 11 million civilians murdered by German and other fascists from 1933-1945, including 6 million Jews killed in a systemic policy of genocide. We honor them by opposing antisemitism, racism and fascism everyday.

We need to get this guy out of our state legislature he is spending his time writing legislation to redesign the state flag instead of serving the community that he represents doing something useful. Our flag is fine it has been around since 1911 it offends nobody LEAVE IT ALONE.
Stop your crimes against humanity with HB6205-6210. Not only are these bills crimes against the people, they are unconstitutional on their face. Your oath of office demands you immediately retract these bills; or, resign immediately for willful neglect of duty.
No on 6068 and no to giving illegals licenses. This is why the country went red!!!!
¡Feliz Día de los Muertos! A time to remember and honor those who came before us. The beauty of this tradition lies in how we celebrate life by remembering those we’ve lost. Sending love to all celebrating this beautiful holiday!
