| April Message from Assemblymember Carrillo |
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Welcome to the April edition of our newsletter! As spring blossoms across our district, I'm excited to share some highlights and opportunities with you.
As the Vice Chair of the Latino Caucus, I hosted the very first Latino Caucus Tour in Assembly District 39. It was an incredible experience and a meaningful opportunity to showcase our region while engaging in important conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing our communities. We're grateful to everyone who helped make it a success.
April is also a time to focus on growth, opportunity, and access. Below, you'll find updates on our continued legislative efforts to uplift and support our district.
