During the recent Assembly Floor Session, Assemblymember Soria took a moment to highlight the importance of youth engagement in government by welcoming 25 young legislators from Assembly District 27 to the California State Capitol. These students, representing high schools from Fresno, Madera, and Merced County, were recognized for their potential as future leaders. Soria emphasized the significance of their visit, encouraging them to learn about the legislative process and aspire to take on roles in government themselves.
Following this inspiring introduction, the Assembly moved on to discuss legislative business, including the introduction of ACR 90 by Assemblymember Gibson. This resolution aims to recognize Juneteenth, a day of historical importance marking the end of slavery in the United States. Gibson, a member of the California Legislative Black Caucus, called upon all Californians to honor this occasion through celebrations and reflection.
The discussions during this session underscore a commitment to fostering leadership among young people and recognizing pivotal moments in history that shape the community. As the Assembly continues its work, these themes of youth involvement and historical acknowledgment remain vital to California's legislative agenda.
