Past Events

Natural disasters are happening more frequently and sometimes without warning. Given the recent wildfires, atmospheric rivers, and floods our state has faced, having a plan for future emergencies is vitally important. You, your family, and friends are invited to a FREE Emergency Preparedness Training in my district. At this event, you will receive training and information on what you need to be self-reliant, prepared, and to stay safe during a natural disaster.

We have reached capacity for attending in-person, please join us on livestream via Castro Valley/Eden Area Chamber of Commerce Facebook. 

I am deeply concerned about the threat that the opioid crisis poses to our communities. Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid, is now responsible for more deaths than any other drug in the United States. In response to recent fentanyl busts in Hayward and San Leandro, my office is taking action to educate residents of AD-20 and pass legislation that saves lives.

I am writing to invite you to an educational event about this issue at 2pm on Saturday, March 25th, at the Hayward Public Library. Come hear from experts about how local agencies are combating the crisis and available resources, as well as an update on proposed legislation to protect our community.

Featured Speakers:

Tony Thurmond, State Superintendent of Public Instruction
