Gail Pellerin for Assembly

I hope you can join me in San Jose on November 20!

Election Day is just 7 days away! Have you made your plan to vote yet? Take a minute to learn more about Prop 50, volunteer if you can, and help others by sharing the voter protection hotline number.

What an inspiring Sunday at the Campaign Kick Off and BBQ for U.S. Representative Zoe Lofgren! It was great to see some truly amazing leaders, including Rep. Pete Aguilar - Chair of the House Democratic Caucus, Former Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, and California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas.

I am so excited to co-host this event, hosted by Mayor Fred Keeley, in support of Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, right here in Santa Cruz!

I hope you will join us!

Punctual postmarks: Santa Cruz County clerk alerts voters to Postal Service operation changes Santa Cruz County Clerk Tricia Webber has advised voters to be extra mindful of how shifting transit timelines could impact mail returns, particularly when it comes to postmarks, which are a critic…

Don’t let that ballot linger - Vote today! Best way is to drop in an any county elections drop Box or deliver in person to a vote center but if you have to mail it, do it at least a week in advance.

Issues with postmarks and we don’t know what the maga folks will try to do!

What does Prop 50 mean for Santa Cruz County? - Santa Cruz Local Political leaders in Santa Cruz County are overwhelmingly in support of Proposition 50, a redistricting measure on the Nov. 4 ballot.

“'If Donald Trump and the MAGA machine are able to steal unchecked power for two more years, they’ll have free rein to keep up their harmful policies and authoritarian power grabs,' Pellerin said."

California – this is our moment to save democracy for the entire country! Prop 50 levels the playing field and cancels out Trump’s election rigging for the midterms. Vote YES on Prop 50 by November 4th.

Prop 50 is about protecting fair representation and ensuring every Californian’s voice counts.

Proud to stand today with Speaker Robert Rivas, Rep. Panetta, Rep. Lofgren, my colleagues in the Legislature, and community leaders at a press conference supporting Yes on Prop 50.

Happy Birthday to my favorite walking buddy, Congressman Jimmy Panetta! @panettaforcongress.bsky.social

When other states rig maps for partisan gain, we must stand up for democracy. Prop 50 ensures Californians aren’t silenced. 🗳️ Vote YES on Prop 50 this Nov 4.

California is taking important steps to ensure every community has fair representation. A special election has been called so we can uphold the integrity of our maps and protect the voice of every voter.

This is about safeguarding our democracy and making sure the people of California are heard.

Today is California Public Radio Day, a reminder of how vital free, trusted, and accessible news is to democracy.

Public radio connects communities and, in an era of misinformation, stands as a beacon of truth.

I’m proud to celebrate the journalists and stations who strengthen democracy every day.

Trump wants to stop states from voting by mail and using voting machines But legal experts say he lacks the constitutional authority to do so.

Banning mail-in voting and voting machines is an attack on the very foundation of our democracy. Millions of Americans rely on this safe, secure, and trusted method to make their voices heard. I will continue to fight to protect EVERY voter’s access to the ballot box.

As a mother myself, I know the love and joy today brings. I also know that for many, Mother's Day brings loss, longing, or quiet struggles. Today we honor all the mothers, those who gave life, those who raised, and those who mother in their own unique ways. Wishing you love, comfort and peace today.

I was honored to join colleagues & community members at the 2nd Annual Central Coast Caucus Foundation event last night. This event marked a powerful moment of celebration, as we honored the outstanding students who were awarded scholarships to help them create lasting impacts in their communities.
