I started 2022 with a
#bike
ride around the awesome western cities in my district. It was my most ambitious ride to date - a 30 mile loop. Committed to staying the healthy course and driving much less.

Today we commemorate the tragic pogroms against Armenians in Sumgait/Baku & call attention to decades long persecution that continues. Unprovoked invasion/aggression against Artsakh by Azerbaijan is state sponsored hostility against Armenians. It is critical we condemn/speak out.
Just got back from
#Armenia
. Friends concerned& angry over unprovoked Azeri attacks. Passionate voices calling on the InterNat community to condemn violent&deadly actions -wanting humanitarian values to be more than just words.

I sent a letter with
@RepAdamSchiff
and
@RepSpeier
to President-elect Biden. The President-elect has denounced Turkish and Azeri hostilities in Artsakh and elsewhere. We ask him to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis and appropriately deal with the aggressors.
30 miles today for a 626.95 mile total on my bike this month. The first month that I kept a log. Hoping to keep it going and learning a lot on the road.
Please let these children live in peace. I awoke this morning to hear the news that
#Artsakh
was being shelled. So saddened to hear that this wonderful and serene place is facing unprovoked and deadly attacks

Saddened by violence at

First time venturing along the American River trail. Took J and H streets to Sac State - lots of interesting bike friendly engineering on the way. Came back along the river into Old Sac. Fun, educational ride on a great day.

Disappointed in the court decision - it shows who our judges are matters. As the author of the bill in question this means we all have to work harder to keep guns out of the wrong hands

Like 2 many families we lost a loved one during the pandemic I have felt extremely lucky not getting Covid until my 1st + test this AM. I am grateful to be vaxed & boosted and for all our frontline healthcare workers, hospitals, clinics & volunteers who shepherded us through this
We are past the “how many more” questions - violent gun tragedies defy words & demand action & accountability - sadness should not be so common in daily living

Attacks on a sovereign nation are unacceptable- US financial support of the Azeris must stop. CA is home to the largest Armenian American population in the country with family & friends in danger.

Had a SUV cut me off on Los Feliz Blvd today. He was getting on the freeway - although the lane to my right was free he needlessly passed me on my left and came within inches of my bike.
By officially and properly recognizing the
#ArmenianGenocide
, the United States has demonstrated that human rights, justice, and truth have prevailed. Today we remember and honor the 1.5 million victims of this crime against humanity and pledge to continue the fight for justice.
CA’s late school start law starts tday research shows Student health & well-being benefits by later school start time. honored to have worked with a broad coalition to make this positive change happen.

I am disappointed in the Governor’s veto of SB799. The labor unrest&concern we all witnessed this summer earned legislature’s action to pass UI benefits 4 striking workers. The need continues and so will efforts to make this law in CA.

Proud dad. Had the chance to see The Color Purple and smiled broadly when my daughter Sofia’s name came up in the credits. Have had several people text me when they saw it too.
Wonderful morning at the renaming dedication of

Suicide prevention is a priority As we head back to school use the newly printed suicide hotline# on your child’s ID to begin the conversation. Help bring mental health/depression out ofthe shadows.
