John's Journal - April 2025 Edition

April 30, 2025

April has come to a close, and for me personally, it marks another trip around the sun. I’m grateful to celebrate another birthday doing what I love most: representing the Central Coast and fighting to uphold the values that make California a beacon for the nation. Over more than four decades of public service, one truth has remained constant — democracy thrives when we stay engaged. This month, that spirit was on full display as millions across the country participated in the “Hands Off!” rallies, including thousands who gathered right here in Santa Cruz.

John’s Journal January 2025 Edition

January 31, 2025

January has flown by—somehow feeling both deceivingly fast and painstakingly slow.

I hope you’re having a spooktacular Halloween! This festive season is the perfect time to connect with loved ones, whether you’re carving pumpkins, whipping up hearty autumn recipes, or joining in some wicked celebrations. There’s something special about this time of year that brings joy, whimsy, and togetherness to us all, and I hope you are able to celebrate and participate with your community.

John’s Journal September 2024 Edition

September 30, 2024

As Fall settles in, I’m filled with gratitude to be back home on the Central Coast after an intense end-of-session sprint in Sacramento.

John’s Journal August 2024 Edition

August 30, 2024

As school resumes and the sun continues to shine on our beautiful Central Coast, both residents and wildlife are soaking up every moment.

John's Journal July 2024

July 31, 2024

A special acknowledgement goes out to our distinguished Olympians from the 17th District: Hayley Batten, Natalia Grossman, Nikki Hiltz, Dominique Parrish, and Matai Leuta. Their remarkable achievements bring immense pride to our country and the Central Coast. 

John's Journal June 2024

June 30, 2024
