Sent to incoming California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
Dear Assemblymember Bonta,
On behalf of the Democratic Party of Contra Costa County, we offer our heartfelt congratulations on your appointment as the first Filipino American to serve as California’s Attorney General.
Throughout your career in public service, you have not shied away from leading the fight for social and economic justice affecting communities of color. Your efforts to reform the criminal justice system, end cash bail, ban for-profit prisons, protect renters from wrongful evictions and strengthen hate crime protections, will serve as a model for states to follow.
Again, congratulations on your appointment! We are honored to have the privilege to continue working with you as California’s Attorney General.
Sincerely,
Katie Ricklefs, Chair
Democratic Party of Contra Costa County
