I love hearing the crack of the bat as the Dodgers try for back-to-back championships. I hope our season continues beyond tonight. Post-season baseball at Chavez Ravine is a great unifier for our region. Moreover, our hometown team has long reflected the rich tapestry of our community. The team integrated baseball, when UCLA’s own Jackie Robinson donned number 42 as the first African American player in Major League Baseball (MLB).

The variety of measures I offered this year, that are now law, help deliver a future that works for all Californians, and address critical issues such as the drought, affordable housing and worker protection.

About Senator Hertzberg
Senate Majority Leader Robert Hertzberg was first elected to the California State Assembly in 1996. He then served as the 64thSpeaker of the California State Assembly, unanimously elected by both parties in 2000 and 2001.
After his tenure as Speaker, Hertzberg set out to the private sector as a clean energy entrepreneur and in 2014, he returned to state government when he was again elected to represent nearly 1 million people in the San Fernando Valley in the California State Senate. This made Hertzberg one of only six lawmakers in California history to serve as Assembly Speaker and subsequently win a seat in the Senate, where he now serves as Majority Leader.
Sacramento columnist, he is “an intense bundle of energy, an all-night negotiator.”
