Throughout her time in office, Atkins has focused on making life better for Californians facing difficult circumstances and personal challenges
. Housing, health care, the LGBTQ community, reproductive rights, veterans and addressing the climate emergency are among the many issues where she has left her mark. Former Assemblymember Jimmy Gomez, D-Los Angeles, said he and many others quickly learned that “Ms. Atkins’ leadership is rooted in a deep empathy for those who have the least.”
Atkins — who lives in South Park with her spouse, Jennifer, and their dogs, Joey and Mia — has had some disappointments. Perhaps most notably, her push to set up a comprehensive universalhealth care system for all residents of the state faltered over concerns about the cost. But that is but a minor footnote in a storied career — one that San Diegans should be thankful for, and one that is far from over. As McGuire said, “She’s a California trailblazer [and] a role model for millions.” That’s not going to change when she moves on from the state Senate.
