Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom’s district office summarizes recent state bills and constituent services
Summary
A district representative from Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom’s office briefed council and the public on recent legislative activity, constituent services successes and internship opportunities for Tracy residents.
Samantha Johnson, district representative for Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom, presented an overview of state legislative activity, constituent services and the office’s internship program.
Johnson listed several recently passed bills the assemblymember sponsored or supported, including a CPUC bill (AB 13), water rate assistance (AB 532), lithium battery bills and renter‑focused housing measures (AB 1414) among others. She said the office handles constituent services for Tracy, Mountain House, Stockton and French Camp and reported closing more than 200 constituent cases since December 2024 and recovering about $202,497 in benefits for constituents.
Johnson described the internship program (minimum age 16, 10 hours per week; application deadline July 31, rolling basis) and noted constituent service hours and bilingual materials available in the office. Council members asked about paid internship opportunities and Johnson said the assemblymember’s office internships are unpaid but staff do partner with other entities (for example the Maddy Institute) that offer placements with compensation in some cases.
Why it matters: The presentation updated the council and residents about state legislation that may affect local policy areas and publicized constituent and internship services available to Tracy residents.
Next steps: The representative stayed after the presentation to take questions from council members and district constituents; staff left printed materials and bilingually formatted brochures for residents.
