unanimously approved a ban of the sale of e-cigarette (vaping) devices and associated products, including flavored and menthol products, in unincorporated areas of the County. This ban applies to all residents, including adults. Several cities within the County are taking steps to protect our County’s youth. • My office is participating in the 100-Day Challenge, which aims to provide housing solutions for unhoused college students in 100 days through partnerships with the Bill Wilson Center, West-Valley Community College District, San Jose State University, County Office of Supportive Housing, Community Solutions, Foothill College and Catholic Charities. No student should
live in a car, on someone’s couch, or under an overpass, especially when they’re working toward fulfilling their dreams and beginning their careers. Of course, our work to house all of our county residents will not stop at 100 days. I highly encourage everyone to participate in the 2020 Census. You matter. An under-count could mean less funding to county programs and resources from the federal government. You can find more information about the 2020 Census here. While we’re on the topic of civic engagement, I encourage youths ages 16 and 17 to preregister to vote. It’s a great way to make sure you are registered by the time you turn 18 and a great way to have your voice heard. Your voice matters. You can preregister and register to vote in California online at https://registertovote. ca.gov.
