Absolutely huge loss for reasonableness. One of the best. Everyone knows it - even the Dems who will not admit it publicly.
I just called my opponent to congratulate her on her victory. While there are still many ballots left to count, our team no longer sees a viable path to closing the gap like we did when we flipped this seat in 2022.
I am fully committed to working closely with my successor to ensure our constituents are well served during this transition. I will continue to serve as the representative for the 7th District through November 30.
It has been the honor of a lifetime serving our community in the Assembly. I am incredibly proud of my team and what we have accomplished over the past 4 years.
We passed the Phone-Free Schools Act, critical legislation supporting charter schools and educational choice, and a landmark bipartisan bill protecting kids from the harms of social media. We held the Supermajority accountable by auditing California’s $24 billion dollars in homelessness spending. Finally, we fought to keep our community safe from dangerous policies that were allowing the early release of sexually violent predators into our neighborhoods.
Most importantly, we made constituent service a top priority by successfully resolving nearly 3000 cases, sending nearly 30,000 unique response letters, hosting dozens of community events and town halls, and recognizing countless individuals, small businesses and nonprofits.
I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that Nicole and I look forward to remaining active participants in service to this amazing community that we call home.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Hi I’m Gabriel.
I’m a peptide and hormone researcher.
I’ve worked in many industries spanning cancer research to leading R&D at one of the biggest performance telemedicine companies in the US.
I currently serve as a voting member on the FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee.
I also currently work with athletes, executives and public figures to help optimize their health and performance using novel methodologies.
But what truly drives me is the desire for YOU to have access to these wonderful compounds and the education around how to best utilize them.
And it’s not so I can get a bajillion dollars and have the next Epstein list named after me.
I have seen the pitfalls of traditional healthcare systems.
I have witnessed what lack of preventative care does to families, including my own.
I understand what it means to sacrifice your own health and happiness to see others succeed.
But I also know all of those things can be changed with the right education.
So while I may have some crass posts here and there, some silly memes that are meant for a niche audience, and I might even throw the occasional sprinkle of serious commentary on regulatory and clinical affairs — my purest intentions are to ultimately propagate a preventative and precision health model through accessible sharing of knowledge and information. Without all the weird gate keeping.
I want to live in a world where I can proudly tell my son that I positively impacted people’s lives. That I did good in the world and helped people wherever and whenever they needed it the most.
And if we all get kinda jacked, lean and smarter together during that process, I think that’s a win-win for everyone.

Who else had a change in season allergies on thymosin a1?
I need to hunker down and focus on these bioregs. Didn’t really get much from any of them but might need more patience (Pinealon did give me intense dreams initially so I know it’s doing something). I need to isolate and check them out. Havent been sick in over a year since using TA1. Kids come home barfing I’m all good! And seasonal allergies gone. I will never stop it

Never have heard a democratic legislator say there needs to be more democratic legislators. Honestly.
California Assembly Speaker @RobertRivas_CA @CASpeakerRivas (D-Salinas) speaks on Democrats expanding their supermajorities in both chambers of the Legislature to potential historic highs.
"It's going to be historic in numbers and size."
"People want change. They are tired of being tired. We have to ensure we are delivering results."

If @UofCalifornia comes into a single budget hearing and cries about budget cuts, I will personally advocate to reduce it further by $193 million.

What does “declaring victory” in this case mean? Josh is right to wait until next week. This is going to be an important few days.

I am disgusted by this heartless decision of @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom. Today, Governor Newsom has told the families of murder victims across California that the lives of the worst of the worst killers in our state are worth more than the lives of the innocent people they murdered. With a single decision, he has moved to erase the death sentence of every one of the 548 condemned inmates in California. It is an insult to every victim's family, and I condemn it in the strongest possible terms.
Every one of those sentences was reached the way justice is always reached: one case at a time. A jury convicted each defendant of first-degree murder, found at least one special circumstance true beyond a reasonable doubt, weighed the evidence in a separate penalty trial, and chose death. A trial judge reviewed each verdict, and the California Supreme Court reviewed each case on automatic appeal. It appears that the Governor set all of that aside without examining the facts of a single case.
“Governor Newsom just told the families of Rachel Newhouse, Aundria Crawford, Kesha Gurke and every other innocent victim of California's 548 condemned killers that the killers' lives matter more. Juries chose justice case by case, voters chose it five times, and one outgoing governor is trying to erase it all with a pen. This is a sickening abuse of power.” – Dan Dow, District Attorney @dandow

Californians should be appalled and outraged.
Gavin Newsom waited until two days after the election to overturn 548 death sentences. If he believed this was the right decision, why didn’t he let voters weigh in?
He put his own ambition over victims - victims who had to find out about this decision from a press release.
That’s not leadership. That’s political cowardice.

After this campaign season and seeing all the AI slop, I have never been more convinced to hire a graphic designer for my stuff.
It’s frustrating that my colleagues went out of their way to defeat MY member of Congress, who has diligently served his constituents for 4 years.

This term Joe Patterson banned secret NDAs in Sacramento, first for legislators (AB 1370, passed 79–0 on his third try), then for state agency officials (AB 1652). He also passed Marissa’s Law and a push to make wildfire victims whole. That’s a record worth reelecting.
My 5yo daughter just face timed me. I told her today is an election. She asked what that was- told her that it is when people get to decide if I stay in the Assembly. She sayid “I want you to stay in the Assembly. Tell me tomorrow when I wake up.”
Make it so!

Breaking: Ninth Circuit en banc panel has ruled 6-5 to reinstate this decision after it was vacated last night.
This rules in favor of the DOJ. Prosecutors can continue requests to sequester noncitizen ballots and threaten prosecution. California and Washington state are back on notice!
🚨 Late night ruling from the Ninth Circuit after SCOTUS declined to issue an injunction pending appeal.
California and Washington state are now on official notice. The 2-1 panel ruled that the thousands of non-citizen ballots CAN be sequestered. Election officials can also face prosecution for counting the noncitizen ballots, per the ruling.
