Assemblymember O’Donnell’s Bill to Keep ICE out of Schools Moves to Governor’s Desk

Friday, September 15, 2017

Chair of Assembly Education Committee emphasizes statewide need for safe schools for all students

(SACRAMENTO) – Assembly Bill 699, authored by Assemblymember Patrick O’Donnell (D — Long Beach) to keep Immigration & Custom Enforcement (ICE) officers out of schools, passed the Legislature Friday. Assemblymember O’Donnell issued the following statement:

“As a teacher and a parent, I want schools safe for all children. Allowing ICE officers on school grounds threatens the peace of mind that students need in order to grow and succeed. Students cannot learn when they are afraid. Now more than ever, California needs to step up as a leader for young people by ensuring that our classrooms are secure and supportive.”

O’Donnell Secures State Clean Air Funding for Local Ports

Thursday, September 14, 2017

(SACRAMENTO) – A green light at the end of a long legislative tunnel, Assemblymember Patrick O’Donnell (D – Long Beach) successfully worked to secure hundreds of millions of dollars for clean air efforts in and around California ports in the recent cap-and-trade expenditure agreement reached this week.

“As the representative of the two busiest ports in the nation, this is an investment I have been fighting for since I first came to the Legislature,” Assemblymember O’Donnell said. The funds will be utilized to support the aggressive development and deployment of clean technologies at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. “This investment will allow the ports to make green while continuing to go green.”

Chair of Assembly Education Committee Urges Congress to Defend DACA

Tuesday, September 5, 2017

(SACRAMENTO) – In response to President Trump’s announcement to end the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) on Tuesday, Assemblymember Patrick O’Donnell (D-Long Beach) issued the following statement:

“As a teacher and as Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, I stand with the thousands of young people protected by DACA who deserve a safe home where they can study, work, and build bright futures. I am extremely disappointed by the current administration’s announcement to end DACA. The individuals protected by the program should not be pulled from their home – for many, the only home they’ve ever known. I call on Congress to come together to preserve the protections granted by DACA before the full effects of this decision are felt. ”

Assemblymember Patrick O’Donnell represents the 70^th Assembly District which includes Long Beach, Signal Hill, San Pedro and Catalina Island.

Very sad to lose Edith Windsor, a champion for LGBT rights. Her legacy in guiding the country toward clearing the way for same-sex marriage will not be forgotten. #equality #LGBT #longbeach https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/09/12/politics/edith-windsor-supreme-court-marriage-equality/index.html
