State Treasurer Larry Pack on Wednesday presented a $500 check to Belle Elementary School in Kanawha County for having one of the 15 regional winners of the SMART529 "When I Grow Up" Statewide Essay Contest.
"My Office is thrilled to deliver this money which recognizes schools who encourage their families to think about their child's future education and offer a savingsstrategy to support it," Treasurer Pack said. "As a father of six children, I know the importance of saving for college. These 15 regional winners took the time to think about what they want to do and who they want to be when they grow up. I congratulate these students for sharing their aspirations. My hope is this writing contest inspired them to achieve their dreams and eventually become the future leaders of our state."

Kindergarten through fifth grade teachers also had the opportunity to compete in the teacher portion of the essay contest.

Attorney General Jay Jones Statement on SCOTUS Voting Rights Decision
Today, Attorney General Jay Jones issued the following statement in response to the ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States in Louisiana v. Callais.
"Today, the Supreme Court of the United States took yet another step in dismantling the long-standing protections provided by the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The landmark, bipartisan, passage of the Voting Rights Act arose from the determinationand perseverance of Black citizens who fought tirelessly and gave their lives over the course of a century so that their children and future generations could cast their vote and participate in our democracy.
For over 60 years, the law has served as an essential tool for combatting the legacy of Jim Crow, fighting ongoing efforts to weaken the political power of Black and brown communities, and securing our democracy. Congress repeatedly reenacted the law, and courts, including the Supreme Court, repeatedly upheld it. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court's decision today ignores that precedent and further undermines the already fragile state of our democracy.
I want to assure Virginians that my office will always fight to defend not only the right to vote but also equal representation under the law, and any efforts to illegally disenfranchise or impede access to the ballot box will be met with swift and aggressive legal action."

SACRAMENTO, California, April 30 -- First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom issued the following news release on April 29, 2026:

First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom and statewide leaders convene to address perinatal mental health crisis
What you need to know: Mental health during and after pregnancy shapes outcomes not only for mothers, but for infants, families, and communities across generations. First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom alongside statewide leaders brings awareness to this issue through a roundtable conversation in order to strengthen maternal mental health services.
*
MOUNTAINVIEW - First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom convened with statewide leaders at El Camino Health to strengthen the current landscape of maternal mental health services, more specifically perinatal wellness, which encompasses care during and up to two years after childbirth.
* * *
Sometimes the hardest part of becoming a new parent is how invisible and isolating it can feel. The perinatal mental health crisis is both deeply urgent and preventable. This is a moment for alignment and leadership across all sectors in California and beyond - when we lead with care and compassion, we can ensure every parent feels seen and cared for during these periods of intense transition before and after welcoming a child.
- First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom
* * *
"Perinatal mental health is foundational to the well-being of families, communities, and future generations," said California Surgeon General, Dr. Diana Ramos. "When a mother is struggling, it signals an opportunity to strengthen coordination across care systems and community support. By working together, we can ensure mothers receive the support they need, setting families and communities on a healthier, more stable path."
This conversation, facilitated by the California Perinatal Wellness Alliance, comes at a time when perinatal mental health affects 1 in 3 California women during pregnancy and in the first two years after birth. The majority of these women do not receive treatment - demonstrating urgency on addressing the matter and advocating for a healthy pregnancy and childbirth experience for California families.
"Perinatal mental health is a preventable public health crisis--and too many families continue to suffer in silence or fall through the cracks," said Cassie Manjikian, Founding Director of California Perinatal Wellness Alliance. "We know what works, and those solutions already exist. Now is the time to turn awareness into action--because every system, every provider, and every one of us has a role to play in ensuring families get the care they need."
El Camino Health is 1 of only 5 perinatal inpatient psychiatric units in the entire country - underscoring California's commitment to maternal health care yet revealing the limited resources available for mothers nationwide.
"Perinatal mental health is one of the most urgent and solvable challenges in health care today," said Dan Woods, CEO of El Camino Health. "At El Camino Health, we've seen what's possible when systems are designed to support families--but we've also seen the gaps. This meeting is about bringing leaders together to close those gaps and build a more connected, effective system of care across California."
As California continues to make meaningful progress on addressing this preventable problem, there are opportunities ranging from timely screenings to building partnerships with local communities that will create solutions to bridge the gaps in maternal mental health. This convening underscored the collaborative efforts across sectors to advance an equitable maternal care system for the Golden State and beyond.
California sets the standard
Governor Newsom, in partnership with the Legislature, continues to set the standard in improving access to perinatal mental health services. Over the last few years, California has achieved the lowest maternal mortality rate in the country. This is a result of California's investment in maternal health, yet the work continues for California families.
Governor Newsom signed AB 2319 (Wilson, 2024), a landmark piece of legislation aimed at reducing disparities in maternal and infant healthcare outcomes by expanding and strengthening implicit bias training for healthcare providers in California.
Also, in September 2024, Governor Newsom proclaimed Strong Start and Beyond Day as the California Surgeon-General launched Strong Start and Beyond, an initiative to reduce California's maternal mortality by 50% by December 2026. This also includes a California Maternal Health Blueprint to raise awareness of the maternal health crisis and leading causes of pregnancy related death.
In March 2024, the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) launched the Birthing Care Pathway, a comprehensive policy and care model roadmap to cover the journey of all pregnant and postpartum Medi-Cal members from conception through 12 months postpartum. The Birthing Care Pathway is being developed to be a strategic roadmap for state entities, managed care plans, counties, providers, social service entities, philanthropy, and other key partners in providing services to pregnant and postpartum Medi-Cal members.
Governor Newsom also signed SB 65 (Skinner, 2021), the California Momnibus Act, designed to improve maternal and infant outcomes - particularly for families of color. Soon after in 2022, California Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) received $1M to implement Midwifery Workforce Training Act aimed at expanding the midwifery workforce and addressing the racial disparities in maternal and fetal health outcomes. With only 1,400 perinatal mental health-certified professionals across the state, the Song-Brown midwifery programs aim to create new Certified Nurse Midwifery and Licensed Midwifery training programs. The Song-Brown midwifery program is also expanding existing programs that focus on training a diverse workforce in underserved communities.
Under DHCS, the Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP) is a Medi-Cal benefit that provides a set of services from conception through 60 days postpartum, including obstetric services; psychosocial assessment(s) and referrals to counseling, if needed; nutrition assessment(s) and referral to counseling on food supplement programs, vitamins, and breastfeeding, if needed; health, childbirth, and parenting education; and care coordination.

Chairman Myers Returns to Capitol Hill: Protects Ratepayers from Data Center Costs
On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, Chairman Nick Myers appeared before the congressional subcommittee on Energy in Washington, D.C. to testify on various federal bills addressing critical energy issues, including load forecasting best practices, advanced transmission technology, ratepayer protections from large load costs, and regional cost allocation.
As one of four panelists participating in"AI and the Grid: Meeting Growing Power Demand While Protecting Ratepayers," Chairman Myers discussed the steps Arizona is taking to facilitate large load growth while ensuring no costs are shifted to other ratepayers.
"As you are fully aware, our nation is experiencing an unprecedented growth in demand for electricity," testified Chairman Myers. "A significant part of that growth in demand is being driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, and advanced manufacturing. These are positive developments. They represent investment, innovation, economic growth, and perhaps most importantly, a strengthening of our national security."
"The principle we in Arizona have relied on to handle large load customers is straightforward: Growth needs to pay for itself," commented Chairman Myers. "This approach to handling large load responsibly appears to be gaining national consensus. That means when large new loads come onto the system, the infrastructure required to serve them needs to be funded by those loads. Not partially, and not over time in a way that shifts risk to other ratepayers, but fully, with real financial commitments backed by financial security instruments such as letters of credit."
Chairman Myers concluded his testimony by emphasizing that federal efforts to address our nation's energy needs should complement state structures rather than attempting to replace them: "States must retain their authority to ensure the system operates properly and costs are allocated fairly."
This is the Chairman's second time testifying before a congressional subcommittee. He previously testified before the congressional subcommittee on Energy, Climate and Grid Security on February 14, 2024, at a hearing titled, "Powered Up: State Utility Regulators on Challenges to Reliable, Affordable Electricity."

* * *
Attorney General Mayes Condemns Trump Administration's Gutting of Federal Law Enforcement
Records Reveal 4,000+ Law Enforcement Jobs Eliminated While Trump Claimed to Be Tough on Crime
*
Attorney General Kris Mayes today issued the following statement in response to the release of federal records, obtained by Reuters under the Freedom of Information Act, revealing that the Trump administration has eliminated more than 4,000 positions across the nation's top federal lawenforcement agencies -- even as the President has repeatedly promised to crack down on crime.
"The Trump administration has been lying to the American people. You cannot claim to be tough on crime while systematically dismantling the agencies that fight it," said Attorney General Mayes. "When the federal government cuts thousands of law enforcement positions like the Trump administration has done over the past year, the burden falls on state and local law enforcement agencies that are already stretched thin. I am grateful for the partnerships we have with those who remain at federal agencies and help keep Arizonans safe, but these cuts make that work harder. You cannot expect the same results with a fraction of the federal workforce."
According to records obtained by Reuters from the Justice Department:
* The FBI has lost more than 2,600 employees -- a drop of over 7% since fiscal year 2024.
* The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has lost approximately 6% of its workforce, even as fentanyl and meth and other illicit drugs devastate Arizona communities.
* The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has cut roughly 14% of its staff as firearms are increasingly being trafficked illegally from the US to Mexico.
* The DOJ's National Security Division -- which handles terrorism and espionage cases -- has lost nearly 38% of its personnel, with its Congressional budget request citing "unprecedented personnel constraints."
According to reports, these cuts have led to the lowest level of federal prosecutions for drug trafficking in over two decades. And additional reporting by ProPublica shows that the DOJ quietly closed over 23,000 cases last year, "abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses." While state and local agencies have had to pick up slack from federal law enforcement, the Trump Administration has sought to defund over $800 million in local law enforcement and public safety grants.
"We need more robust support from the federal government in Arizona to go after the drug cartels pushing poison into our communities, as well as to combat fraud, waste, and abuse and other white collar crimes," said Attorney General Mayes. "Instead, the Trump administration has pushed highly-qualified career law enforcement agents out of their jobs by the thousands and it will only make all of us less safe. This administration has quite literally defunded the police."
