California Insurance Commissioner. First openly LGBTQ+ statewide elected official in CA history. Son of immigrants. This is my political account. (He/Him/His)
I am honored to be re-elected as California’s Insurance Commissioner and look forward to building on the progress we’ve made over the last four years, fighting for California consumers. Thank you, California!

I know from my dad’s own experience how much our farm workers endure. So I am proud to stand in solidarity with
@UFWupdates
today as they continue to march for the right to fight for fair working conditions!
We were youngsters when we started this journey. After an incredible 16 years of bills/budgets my amazing Chief of Staff will become the 2nd woman/1st Latina ever to serve as Secretary of the Senate. Will miss Erika, mi compañera y hermana. CA is lucky for your leadership!
I appreciate Mr. Poizner’s congratulatory call. As Californians, we made history and together we will work to rebuild the lives of our friends and neighbors who have lost everything in these devastating fires. We are resilient, We are strong, We are California! Thank you.
Stopped by with some cafecito and pan dulce for our Eastman Elementary 🦅 teachers & parents. These amazing teachers help our most vulnerable students. Proud to stand with them as they strike for better wages, working conditions and more resources for our students.

It was so powerful to celebrate Pride at the White House today. Before I came out, I didn't believe it was possible to celebrate who I was... and definitely not with the President!
To those struggling: You are perfect the way you are. And also know this POTUS has your back.
Tonight, by voting no, Californians affirmed our progressive values and said YES to healthcare, YES to climate action, and YES to fighting this pandemic.
This is a victory for all of us. Congratulations,

ésarChávezDay I'm grateful for César Chávez's legacy. Grateful because when he, Dolores Huerta & others stood up for farmworkers it meant people like my dad, who worked in fields & factories, could work w/dignity & make a better life for kids like me. Por siempre agradecido.

I got mine. Please get yours! We all have a role to play in defeating this pandemic.
All Californians 16+ are now eligible to get vaccinated. Sign up for your shot today.
Can’t sleep thinking about how insignificant everything else seems, legislation, political fights/rumors, campaigning, knowing tonight children are torn from their families and sleeping/crying in cages. Feeling hopeless and distant from my country which was beacon of hope.
Happy Pride! Right now, I’m the only LGBTQ person of color elected statewide in any state in the nation. We can change that. This Pride Month, let’s celebrate the rich and diverse tapestry of California and our country – and then let’s get to work.
A word that I ran away from for so many years. It was yelled at me and used to make me feel awful. Today I wear it and own it. You no longer have the power!!!

Recall ballots are arriving in mailboxes across California TODAY.
As an openly LGBTQ person and the son of immigrants, I know personally just how much is at stake.
We must protect our civil rights and families. Vote NO on the Republican recall.
I'm here at

I just got my Pfizer vaccine — and I'm feeling great. Let's all do our part to get back to normal.

NEW: I’m proposing the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution to help end our nation’s gun violence crisis.
The American people are sick of Congress’ inaction.
The 28th will enshrine 4 widely supported gun safety freedoms -- while leaving the 2nd Amendment intact:

Sometimes you let stress, public opinion, hate get to you. But nothing compares to the smile of Cecilia as I surprised her. Lost her job after cancer. Did she complain? Hell no she decided to share her amazing food with the world. This is your victory!

think of this historic gathering? What would he want us to do?" He would want us to be our authentic self!
Today, I ordered insurance companies to preserve coverage for 325,000 new wildfire survivors.
Since taking office, I’ve now stopped the insurance industry from dropping coverage for over 3.7 million Californians immediately following climate disasters.
Harvey Milk’s election showed that out LGBT people could run for office and win. He inspired many of us to be unafraid and proud of who we are.

to the Stone Age. All children deserve gender-affirming medical care.That's why I put CA insurers on notice to be inclusive of trans kids' needs.
Leaving Tijuana with mixed emotions, heart broken yet uplifted witnessing the power of our human spirit to survive. Meeting amazing people doing god’s work of providing critical services to our refugees and hearing from our 🏳️🌈 migrants refueled my passion to never stop fighting.

As California’s elected leaders we have the right to pass laws that protect our residents — ALL of them. Today’s court ruling in U.S. v California upholds that essential right.
Sidewalk vendors are an integral part of our economy and social fabric. Majority of them are women and seniors on fixed incomes.
