Diane knows first-hand the important role families play in strengthening our communities and economy. In her first year as an Assemblymember, Diane showed her support in a variety of ways. In addition to advocating for much needed change with parents whose children were murdered by fentanyl, she advocated for more funding to help pregnant foster youth. While the work continues to secure state funding for these vulnerable members of our communities, she awarded a facility in Orange County with a grant from the Women in California Leadership Foundation to help with the tremendous work they do.

Additionally, Diane provided thousands of dollars in scholarships to young women in her District to apply towards higher education. Helping ensure women have access to education to learn the skills needed to earn high wages makes our communities stronger.
