Addis Celebrates $10.6 Million Grant Awarded to Watsonville Community Hospital May 29, 2026 "Great news for the Central Coast! Last month, my colleagues from the Santa Cruz delegation and I voted to pass emergency legislation to provide critical dollars to distressed hospitals, in light of the cuts from HR 1.1 am thrilled that the Watsonville hospital is receiving much-needed state support that will keep serving our communities.

April 26, 2026 California Air Resources Board 1001 | Street Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: 15-Day Cap-and-Invest Amendments Undermine Statutory Climate Goals and Public Investment Dear Chair and Board Members, As members of the California Legislative Central Coast Caucus (CLCCC), we write to express serious concern with the April 14, 15-Day Amendments to the Cap-and-Invest program as published on April 14, 2026. CARB has a consequential policy decision before it—one that risks putting California out of alignment with its statutory obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.

While the state has historically relied on a suite of complementary tools to meet emissions targets, many of those tools are currently under threat due to actions by the Trump Administration, including attacks on federal climate programs and California's Clean Air Act waiver authority to regulate vehicle emissions. In the absence of these tools, weakening Cap-and-Invest further undermines the state's ability to meet its statutory obligations. If emissions are not reduced through Cap-and-Invest, California remains legally required to meet its targets, which will necessitate more costly and burdensome direct mandates and …

Addis Releases Statement Following Reports of an Active Shooter at the Islamic Center of San Diego May 18, 2026 I'm horrified and outraged by today's shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. No person or community should ever have to fear for their existence. We must condemn all forms of hate in our communities. I thank our first responders and stand in solidarity with victims and survivors during this painful time.
