Assm. Mike Fong has made a strong impression during his first months as a legislator after entering the State Assembly through a special election victory in February 2022. He authored and passed AB2917 to improve disability access and AB1811 to improve local flood protections. Building on his experience as a member of the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees, he also supported AB1958 to address student access, retention, and debt cancellation in the community college system and AB2158 to establish ethics training programs for local educational institutions. With seats on the Appropriations and Budget committees and as chair of the Committee on Higher Education, Assm. Fong is well-positioned to continue to fight for progressive change in his first full term.
