As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone in Assembly District 59 for your continued support and vote of confidence in me. Communities like ours are the drivers for change.

And, as the biggest holiday shopping season approaches, I encourage you to shop local whenever you can. This Saturday, November 26 is Small Business Saturday which serves as an important opportunity to show support for our many local small businesses.

One of the best investments we can make in our community is to support local businesses. Local business owners are the backbone of California's economy.

Contact my office or click here to learn about resources for small business owners.

You are invited to join AltaMed, the Los Angeles Football Club and me for the South Los Angeles Soccer and Health Clinic. This exciting event is designed for parents and children ages 8-13. It is important for our kids to grow up knowing the importance of healthy eating habits and daily exercise. This will be an extraordinary opportunity to learn healthy lifestyle habits and soccer skills from LAFC professional soccer players. An exciting way to get out and have some fun before school starts!
