Announcements August 2025
| July Message from Assemblymember Carrillo |
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
July has been a month of meaningful progress both at the Capitol and here at home. I'm proud to share that AB 370, my first bill of the 2025-26 legislative year, was officially signed into law marking an important step in strengthening transparency and protecting public access to records in the face of emergencies and cyberattacks.
With the Legislature on Summer Recess (July 18 – August 18), I've been spending more time in the district, meeting with residents, supporting community events, and continuing to uplift local voices.
Read July's Newsletter to get an update on what I've been up to—from legislative milestones to backpack giveaways, workshops, and more.

| A July Update From Washington, D.C.! |
Dear Friend,
Over the past few months, I’ve been hard at work traveling back and forth from Washington, D.C. to make sure the voices of the Santa Clarita Valley, Antelope Valley, and Northern San Fernando Valley are heard in Congress. I’ve met with constituents, listened to your concerns, introduced important bills and amendments to make life easier for our community, and worked alongside colleagues to advance meaningful policy.
FROM THE CAPITOL:
As a proud member of the House Armed Services Committee, I have the responsibility each year to help shape and pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which outlines our national defense priorities. Throughout this year’s process, I focused on advocating for the needs of our district by pushing to include policies that would support good-paying jobs, reduce the cost of living, strengthen our safety, and address the growing threat of wildfires.
Several of my amendments were adopted in the final bill, including:
- Reducing housing costs for military families by encouraging the Department of Defense to use innovative, cost-effective building materials.
- Protecting access to health care for servicemembers and their families by ensuring the Defense Health Agency is fully staffed and equipped to support over 9.5 million beneficiaries and more than 700 facilities.
- Deploying autonomous firefighting aircraft to combat wildfires in high-risk areas where it’s too dangerous for pilots.
- Expanding and stabilizing the National Guard’s FireGuard program, which helps local first responders detect and track wildfires.
- Investing in next-generation aerospace technologies developed by cutting-edge companies right here in CA-27.
I was also proud to advocate for the dedicated professionals at Air Force Plant 42, Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works, Edwards Air Force Base, and the 412th Test Wing, and secure federal funding that will come home to CA-27. This funding will power our local economy and protect thousands of jobs in our district!
Our district has always been a leader in innovation, defense, and resilience — and I’m working every day to make sure that leadership is recognized, supported, and strengthened through federal action.

The City acknowledged the outcome and throughout the process remained focused on community priorities and public service for its residents.
“As Mayor I understand these efforts however motivated, are part of the Democratic process,” stated Mayor R. Rex Parris. “But let me be clear, I have always remained focused on my commitment to our residents to prioritize the needs of our community by increasing public safety, expanding economic development, and working to advance the well-being of our community alongside my fellow Councilmembers, and will continue to do so!”

| R&B Sensation TLC to Electrify the Palmdale Amphitheater Stage Aug. 9 |
PALMDALE, CA — Get ready for an unforgettable night of music when Grammy-winning TLC, one of the best-selling female groups of all time, takes the stage at the Palmdale Amphitheater on Saturday, Aug. 9. Known for their unique blend of pop, hip-hop and urban soul, TLC will headline as part of the City’s exciting summer concert series.
TLC’s career is nothing short of legendary, with nine Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including four unforgettable #1 singles: “Creep,” “No Scrubs,” “Unpretty,” and, of course, the timeless anthem “Waterfalls.” Their influence is felt across generations, backed by four multi-platinum albums — including the groundbreaking CrazySexyCool, which was awarded diamond certification by the RIAA for selling over 10 million copies. In addition, TLC made history as one of the first in their genre to earn a million certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for their album FanMail, further cementing their global impact.
“TLC has been inspiring audiences for decades with their incredible music and talent,” said Mayor Pro Tem Laura Bettencourt. “Their music has touched millions of fans and continues to resonate across generations. We’re thrilled to welcome TLC to our beautiful amphitheater. Their performance promises to be an incredible show under the stars.”
