Priorities
Assemblymember Muratsuchi has a record of getting things done.
Education
Advocated for South Bay schools by writing legislation to increase California’s K-12 per pupil spending with Assembly Bill 39. That’s why the California School Board Association recognized him as their Legislator of the Year in 2019.
Veterans
As the former Chairman of the Assembly Veterans Affairs Committee, he coauthored Assembly Bill 639, the Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention Act, to provide $600 million in bond funds to build housing with mental health and other support services for veterans and their families. AmVets recognized him as their Legislator of the Year in 2013 for his work.
Environment
Fought the Trump Administration’s efforts to frack and drill for oil offshore and in our national parks with Assembly Bill 1775 and Assembly Bill 342, both signed into law. Environment California acknowledged his work with a Green Champion award.
Infrastructure
He delivered $231 million in state funding in 2018 to extend the Metro Green Line to Torrance and Redondo Beach, and to connect the South Bay and LAX airport through public transit, so that we can cut down on traffic and air pollution.
Frontline Workers
Supported a budget that provides frontline workers the resources they need to during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aerospace
As Chairman of the Assembly Select Committee on Aerospace, he wrote Assembly Bill 777 and coauthored Assembly Bill 2389, both signed into law in 2014, to support South Bay aerospace leaders like SpaceX and Northrup Grumman to create thousands of local jobs.
