An Evening at Dulan’s
Last night, I had the opportunity to join Tony in Los Angeles for a campaign stop at the historic Dulan’s on Crenshaw, and it was an incredible evening.
Tony, thank you for making the trip to Southern California, for your continued leadership, and for the time you have taken to support my campaign here in Ventura. And I have to say, some of the best food I have ever had in my life.
What Stood Out
What stood out most was not just the energy in the room. It was the shared commitment to strengthening our schools, supporting our educators, and making thoughtful, forward-looking decisions for our communities.
That is the bridge we are building.
From Sacramento to Ventura. From policy to people. From vision to action.
And this is just the beginning.
