After today’s Senate Judiciary hearing, the concerns about Secretary Kristi Noem’s leadership are impossible to ignore. I’m leading AJR 26 calling for her impeachment because our federal agencies deserve leadership grounded in integrity and accountability.

AB 1744: Reef-Safe Truth in Marketing Act | Official Website - Assemblymember Dawn Addis Representing the 30th California Assembly District When a sunscreen says it's "reef-safe," most people assume it won't harm marine life. But today, that label doesn't have a clear statewide definition in California. AB 1744 is about making sure environmental claims are honest so consumers can make informed choices.

RE: Letter of Support for CSU Skilled Trade Workers Represented by Teamsters Local
2010
Dear Chancellor Garcia,
I am writing to express my strong support for the skilled trade workers across the California State University (CSU) system represented by Teamsters Local 2010, and for their request that SU uphold fair labor practices and fulfill its contractual obligations regarding wage increases.
SU's skilled trade workers are essential to the daily operation of our campuses. Their work ensures that facilities remain safe, functional, and supportive learning environments so that faculty and staff can effectively serve students. Without their expertise and dedication, SU campuses simply cannot operate.
In 2025, CSU did not provide any cost-of-living adjustments or salary step increases to faculty or staff. In November 2025, I publicly expressed my disbelief and frustration with the CSU decision to approve pay increases for CSU presidents - already among the highest-compensated executives in the system - while the regular working people who keep our campuses running continue to struggle to make ends meet. If solutions can be found to navigate fiscal challenges to support raises for those at the top, CSU leadership must be able to support the skilled trade workers who are vital to campus operations.
Until then, the lack of resolution contradicts SU's role in bettering the future of all Californians and its management of tax-payer dollars.
Rising inflation and housing costs across California have left many CSU workers unable to achieve basic financial stability. Unfortunately, without addressing the wage increases, the economic futures of these employees are in serious jeopardy. Our dedicated workers deserve financial security in their careers.

As a legislator representing the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and CSU Monterey Bay communities, a CSU alumnus, a public-school teacher, and the parent of a student in the CSU system, I urge you to return to the bargaining table and resolve this matter in a way that recognizes the essential contributions of these employees and reflects CSU's commitment to its workforce.

Washington, DC 20240
RE: COMMENTS OF ASSEMBLYMEMBER DAWN ADDIS ON PUBLISHED DOCUMENT 2026-00468
(91 FR 1329), PUBLICATION DATE 01/13/2026
Dear Secretary Burgum,
As the representative of the 30th Assembly District and a co-chair of the California Legislative Central Coast Caucus, I write to express grave concern regarding the Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Central Coast Field Office Oil and Gas Leasing and Development Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.
On January 13, 2026, the Bureau of Land Management published a notice in the Federal Registrar announcing plans to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for oil and gas leasing and development on public lands in Alameda, Contra Costa, Monterey, San Benito, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties, and portions of Fresno, Merced, and San Joaquin counties.
Unfortunately, this is just the most recent action by the Federal Administration to increase oil production at the expense of environmental safety and public health since President Donald Trump signed Executive Order (EO) 14154, "Unleashing American Energy," which removes critical regulations of oil and gas production methods, including hydraulic fracking. These actions are an existential threat to our safety and stand in direct contradiction to our state's land use policies.
In contrast, California in recent years has taken sharp strides to protect vulnerable communities from the detrimental effects of oil and gas operations, while achieving carbon neutrality by…
2045. In 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1137 (Gonzalez, Chapter 365, Statutes of 2022), which mandated a 3200-foot buffer zone between new and reworked oil and gas wells and sensitive land uses, which include schools, childcare centers, residential homes,

and hospitals. Additionally, it required operators to implement strict air and water pollution controls and develop response plans for the two million Californians living within 3200 feet of an existing oil well.
In 2024, I introduced and successfully passed Assembly Bill 3233 (Addis, Chapter 550, Statutes of 2024), which codified the right of local governments to limit or prohibit oil and gas operations within their jurisdictions. Subsequently, localities such as the City and County of Los Angeles have used this law to enact measures that ban future oil and gas activity.
In our region along the Central Coast, local restrictions further make the proposal by the BLM infeasible. This includes the Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) thresholds for Santa Cruz County established in its 2022 Climate Action and Adaptation Plan and the deed restrictions relative to the Cotoni-Coast Dairies National Monument.
Therefore, the proposed amendment blatantly ignores local and state laws that limit oil activity.
The Administration, through the Bureau of Land Management, must develop resource management that align with local General Plans.
Since my time in elected office, I have strongly opposed any action to increase oil production and prioritize profits over people, the planet, and local economy. On the Morro Bay City Council, I passed a resolution opposing offshore drilling; in the California State Assembly, I introduced Assembly Bill 1243 (2025), which accounts for the damages inflicted on local communities from oil drilling and production; and most recently, I introduced Assembly Bill 1536 (2026), the Save Our Shores Act and End Offshore Oil Drilling. Finally, as founder and Chair of the Central Coast Legislative Caucus, I strongly oppose reckless drilling, and I promise to protect our region's environment, economy, and future.
I urge your Administration to reject this proposal. The Central Coast is not for sale.
