Assemblyman Tri Ta, a representative in the California State Assembly, addressed several topics on his social media account on February 3, 2026. His posts highlighted American Heart Month, recognized a local student’s achievement, and raised concerns about a proposed legislative measure.
In an early morning post on February 3, Tri Ta called attention to heart health during a national awareness campaign: “February is American Heart Month A timely reminder to pay attention to heart health and the small, everyday choices that add up over time. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., but awareness and prevention can make a meaningful difference. Organizations”.
Later that day, Ta celebrated an academic and extracurricular accomplishment by a local student: “I was pleased to congratulate Milena Wilson on winning the ‘World Champion Intercollegiate Packers, Mule Days Team Award!’ A native of Huntington Beach and a student at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), Milena is studying to become a veterinarian. I have no” (posted at 18:12 UTC).
In another statement posted at 21:19 UTC on February 3, Ta criticized AB 1421—a bill described as initiating a study for mileage-based taxation in California. He stated: ” Stop Sacramento from charging you for every mile you drive. AB 1421 is being described as a ‘study,’ but it clearly moves California closer to a mileage based tax that would hit drivers on top of already high gas, sales, and income taxes. This proposal raises real concerns”.
American Heart Month is observed each February across the United States to promote cardiovascular health awareness and encourage preventive actions among Americans.
The referenced AB 1421 bill has been debated as part of ongoing discussions about transportation funding in California. Mileage-based user fees have been proposed in several states as potential alternatives or supplements to fuel taxes due to changing vehicle efficiency standards.
Milena Wilson’s award highlights achievements within collegiate animal science competitions and reflects Cal Poly’s active role in fostering students’ hands-on education.
