I am encouraged by Governor Brown's decision to prioritize education in this year's budget. It is only through the educating and training of our future workforce that California will truly be successful. I look forward to working with colleagues in the legislature to ensure that our most vulnerable communities have all of the resources they need to thrive; including good health care, a quality education, and jobs.
