This spring has seen strong momentum for my legislative package as well as active community engagement across our district. I'm proud to report that 10 of my bills recently advanced through the Senate.
Meet Senator
Lola Smallwood-Cuevas
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,
