Governor Gavin Newsom today signed Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas’ (D-Los Angeles) 2026 legislative package that advances worker protections, expands pathways to good jobs, improves access to healthcare, and invests in communities across California.

Welcome! I’m Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, and I’m honored to represent nearly one million residents in the 28th Senate District, one of California’s most diverse regions in Los Angeles. I spent more than two decades working as a labor organizer and civil rights activist before my election to the State Senate. It is my privilege to serve California’s residents by presenting legislation that will create a more equitable economy for working families.
Sincerely,
Governor Gavin Newsom today signed Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas’ (D-Los Angeles) 2026 legislative package that advances worker protections, expands pathways to good jobs, improves access to healthcare, and invests in communities across California.
Please join me at our 3rd Annual Hispanic Heritage Month Event – Saturday, October 3, from 10 am to 1 pm – at the Fremont Wellness Center & Community Garden, located at 7821 S. Avalon Blvd. in South Los Angeles. This free event is held in partnership with LA County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, Assemblymember Sade Elhawary, LAUSD, and UMMA Health.
As summer comes to a close, I’m proud to share an update on the work my team and I have been doing both at the State Capitol and here at home in our community.
