January Update – Senator Monique Limón

Happy February,

This month I introduce you to my new video series, “From the Desk of Senator Limón: Tea con Limón.” This video series will serve as a roundup of events, resources, and legislative updates. 

This month’s video is centered around the impacts of the nine atmospheric rivers California experienced in the first few weeks of the new year and the state and federal government’s efforts to aid in our recovery. Please tune into the video and check below for additional resources.

Sincerely,


Monique Limón
Senator, 19th District
