At the No on Prop 39 event, talking about the ballot most Californians use: the one that comes in the mail. 📬

One wrong ID digit could get a valid ballot rejected, and no one has to tell you.

Use your mail ballot. Vote No on 39. 🗳️

Every San Diegan with a court date should know SB 873. 🏛️

🚗 On the way: no civil arrest.
⚖️ Inside: no civil arrest.
🏠 Heading home: no civil arrest.

That holds if you're there for something lawful.

Thank you, Senator Gomez Reyes, for writing it.

1 in 4 Sweetwater students is learning English. 📚

Their superintendent, Dr. Moises Aguirre, didn't learn English until well into second or third grade.

He says it helps him understand what they go through.

Too often, nobody.
