Assemblymember Mia Bonta

Alysa embodies what it means to be from Oakland: fearless, authentic, and entirely her own.
Oakland is proud of you and we’re cheering you on every step of the way.

So proud of Oakland’s own Alysa Liu for bringing home yet another gold medal 🥇
With this victory, she ends an over 20-year drought for the US in the category, a historic moment for the sport and for our country.

California's women deserve policy solutions that are as bold as they are. I'm committed to working in our legislature to ensure no woman is left behind as we craft and implement innovative solutions to the toughest problems facing women in this state.

Joined the East Bay legislative delegation at the Oakland Metro Chamber’s first Inside Oakland panel of the year. We're heading into this session focused on delivering real outcomes for Oakland, meeting the community needs in housing, affordability, public safety, and more. Proud to represent AD-18!

This is the tradeoff they’re making: less healthcare, more deportations.
Before today’s hearing, I paused to name this reality and remember the lives lost to brutal ICE raids.

Again, ICE acted as judge, jury, and executioner, killing a protester in broad daylight. Congress must act now: join our Congresswoman @replsimon.bsky.social to impeach DHS Sec. Kristi Noem, reject the DHS funding bill, and abolish the system that lets masked agents terrorize our cities.

Who said an informational hearing has to be boring? The Trump administration isn’t done attacking SNAP, and we’re not done fighting back. We’re staying ready so we don’t have to get ready.

We must commit to investing in standing up to these intolerable abuses of power.

Under Trump, ICE has detained U.S. citizens, caused dangerous vehicle collisions, blinded protesters, shot and killed a Minnesota mother, and now appears to be using a child as bait — all while continuing to disappear members of our communities.

Disgusting. The Trump administration continues to show no moral bounds, using our children to advance its deportation agenda. I have to ask: what is too far for Republican leaders in Sacramento and Washington?

Results take effort, and we’ll keep pushing. See you out there, AD-18.

These past few days, we’ve been up and down the district:

District for MLK Jr. Day of Service along the shoreline

My office was honored to attend the memorial service for the indomitable Coach John Beam this weekend to gather together in mourning and celebration of a legacy larger than life. His presence in the Bay Area and beyond will be deeply missed. May we continue to be beams of light in his memory.

I look forward to continuing to work with Governor Newsom this year to advance shared priorities by centering Oakland, Alameda, and Emeryville to create success statewide.

When the East Bay wins, California wins. Our communities punch above their weight: powering the state’s economy, welcoming and defending our immigrants neighbors, and confronting challenges that mirror those faced across California.

No one is above accountability, and America deserves answers for these horrific acts.

Masked ICE agents believe they can act without fear of consequences while hiding their faces and terrorizing our communities. That is why I supported SB 627, which was signed into law last year and prevents agents in California from concealing their identities.

As Chair of the Assembly Health Committee, I’m committed to confronting these challenges head-on and making sure California delivers for our constituents. Grateful for the recognition from State Affairs.

The deep cuts to our health care system in Trump’s HR 1 are threatening coverage for millions of Californians, pushing more families into medical debt, and further straining our hospitals.

In a moment when our Latino communities face immense challenges, Senator Limón’s leadership, as the first Latina, first woman of color, and only the second woman ever in this role, is a powerful reminder of our community’s strength. Congratulations! I can’t wait to see all that you accomplish. (2/2)

So proud of my sister in service, Senator Monique Limón, for stepping into the role of Senate President pro Tempore with such grace, trailblazing a new path in the legislature. (1/2)

Happy 2026! The Legislature is back in session, and I’m ready to bring the priorities of the East Bay to the halls of power in Sacramento. Let’s get to work building a healthier, happier California that families can afford.

Mourning the loss of Coach John Beam, a true pillar of Oakland. Holding his family in our hearts today.

I’m proud of this fight and what we’ve achieved together.

After years of organizing, our movement has won: End Endless Probation is now law!
Too many children were set up to fail under a system that kept them trapped in probation. With AB 1376, we’re prioritizing youth success, helping young people transition off probation and back into their communities.

That’s why I authored AB 1318, now signed into law, to make clear California will not let our nonprofits be bullied.

Nonprofits are the backbone of our communities; they shouldn’t be targeted for cheap political gain. As a former nonprofit leader, I’ve seen how hard these organizations work with limited resources to serve those in need.

AB 1230 is now law! Together, we’re ensuring students facing expulsion get the individualized support they need to learn, grow, and thrive. Grateful to @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social for standing with us to fight the school-to-prison pipeline.

Birth control is now within reach for more Californians.
I’m proud to have led AB 50 to ensure Medi-Cal recipients can get safe, FDA-approved contraception over-the-counter—no prescription required.
Access to care should never depend on your income or insurance.
