Pregnancy is already tough. For Black women, systemic racism, stress, and barriers to care make it even harder. These aren’t stats—they’re mothers, daughters, sisters. Watch why this disparity exists & what we can do: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8 #BlackMaternalHealth #HealthEquity #MaternalHealth

I authored SB 1199 to stop insurers from ignoring medication copay assistance. Now, if someone pays on your behalf, that amount MUST count toward your deductible. No more shell games, assistance should benefit the patient, not pad insurance profits. 💊🛡️ #SB1199 #HealthEquity #CAleg

Even Beyoncé and Serena Williams faced serious childbirth complications. In this episode, we talk about why Black maternal mortality remains so high and why access alone does not guarantee safety. Watch the clip and the full episode of Prescribing a Healthier Future. https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8

SB 977 passed the California Senate last week. Chain restaurants must offer at least one healthy kids’ meal option clearly on the menu, not hidden or requiring a special request. Meals must meet nutrition standards including under 550 calories, lower sodium and sugar, and zero trans fats.

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 🩺🗳️

Effective CPR can triple a person's chance of survival. I authored SB 945 to require hands-on CPR & AED training for all CA high schoolers by 2027. We’re empowering our students to be first responders and ensuring these life-saving skills aren't left to chance. 🩺❤️ #SB945 #PublicHealth

Did you know your zip code impacts your health more than your genetic code? 80-90% of health outcomes are determined outside the doctor's office - in where we live, work, and play. These social factors shape our wellbeing far more than medical visits alone. #HealthEquity

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

The decision to exclude Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin from the Dublin Central debates just doesn’t make sense. In Galway West, 9 candidates are going head to head in debates, while in Dublin Central only 8 are being given a chance to put forward their perspective.

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.
