Education is a social determinant of health. I’m proud to author SB 1067 to require early math screening for K-2 students. By catching challenges early, we can close the achievement gap and ensure every child has the foundation to thrive. 🎒📐 #SB1067 #HealthEquity

34 felonies without consequences erode our democracy. My mom, Dr. Shirley Weber, reflects on Germany's unified commitment to their constitution versus our courts’ inconsistency. The rule of law must apply equally to all. Listen: youtu.be/wlHsAvjaZEI ⚖️
As a doctor and legislator, I witness daily how policy shapes community health. The decisions we make today will impact generations. Let's protect what matters most. Click here to watch more: https://youtu.be/FdQV15yw2Ko?si=EpgEB2mxsh8fLMd7 #HealthyFuture
Alzheimer’s affects 7M Americans, but younger patients face massive private insurance gaps for plaque-reducing drugs. I presented #SB950 to ensure timely access to FDA-approved treatments for early-onset diagnoses. We must align coverage policies to reflect the urgency of this disease 🩺🗳️
At least 57 HBCUs received bomb threats in just January and February—racially motivated acts of intimidation, according to the FBI. Dr. Kelly O. Elmore and I discuss safety, leadership, and why real leaders protect their people—especially our students. 🎓 Full episode: youtu.be/aEG7HS3WY0c
Maternal mental health is the leading complication of pregnancy in CA, affecting 1 in 3 moms. I’m presenting #SCR161 to recognize Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month. We must end the stigma and ensure families can access the care they deserve 🩺🗳️
When I was elected to the Assembly, there were only five Black OB-GYNs in San Diego County. I was one of them. Black women face maternal mortality rates nearly 3x higher than white women. Being heard can save lives. Watch the full conversation here: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
Know which school sends more Black students to medical school than Harvard or Yale combined? New podcast episode with Dr. Kelly O. Elmore digs into why HBCUs remain essential to solving our physician diversity crisis. Watch: youtu.be/aEG7HS3WY0c
Data shows 888,000 San Diego County residents rely on Medi-Cal for healthcare. The proposed $863B cuts over 10 years would ruin our community's health safety net. As your physician-advocate, I'm fighting to protect essential healthcare access. Watch more: youtu.be/FdQV15yw2Ko?si=EpgEB2mxsh8fLMd7
I authored SB 987 to create the CA Health Access Fund. New federal rules shouldn’t stop you from seeing a doctor. We’re reinvesting enrollment "savings" back into care to protect those losing coverage and ensure our clinics stay funded. 🩺🛡️ #SB987 #HealthEquity #MediCal
Trust is the bridge between diagnosis and healing. When patients see themselves in their doctors, outcomes improve. Representation in medicine isn’t optional — it’s lifesaving. My conversation with Dr. Kelly O. Elmore explains why. #HealthEquity #RepresentationMatters https://youtu.be/aEG7HS3WY0c
Due process is fundamental to our constitution. Democracy doesn’t exist without it. Trump's continued purging of immigration judges who don’t follow his demands is a blatant violation of due process. We must pass my legislation to get immigration courts out of the Executive branch.

The time to act is now. The cost of living is way too high, but instead of pushing policies to make life more affordable, Republicans have only made matters worse by stripping millions of Americans of their health care.

Trump is attacking Iran because of video of him raping children which Netanyahu and Putin have. And gives him excuse to cancel midterms and 2028 elections. He has totally miscalculated because Iran is prepared this time. Americans will be brought home in coffins!
