Assemblyman Tri Ta, who represents California’s 70th Assembly District, posted a series of updates on his social media account in mid-April 2026, covering legislative developments, upcoming events on mental health, and commentary on recent public remarks.

On April 16, 2026, Ta announced the passage of his autism-related bill in the state Assembly. He stated: “Great news! My autism bill passed the Assembly today. This legislation ensures that once behavioral health treatment hours are authorized, families can use them over a full six-month period without unnecessary restrictions from health plans, helping prevent disruptions in care”.

The following day, April 17, 2026, Ta promoted an upcoming webinar focused on adolescent well-being: “Just one week to go until our webinar on Teen Mental Health in the Age of Social Media, co-hosted by UCI Health and the Garden Grove Unified School District. Reserve your spot today at https://t.co/43Kl26luse.”

Later that same day, he responded to recent statements made by commentator Hasan Piker regarding Vietnamese refugees. In his post he wrote: “Hasan Piker’s remarks about Vietnamese refugees are deeply offensive and cannot go unanswered. Those who have chosen to campaign alongside him, and anyone on the political left who has remained silent, are enabling this kind of rhetoric. They have a responsibility to speak out”.

Tri Ta serves as an elected official for communities including Westminster and Garden Grove in Orange County. His legislative focus often centers on healthcare access and advocacy for immigrant populations.
