I am devastated for the families of the four young female students killed last night in Malibu, and for the entire Pepperdine University community.

Yesterday, I spoke with the leadership at the University to offer my condolences and support for all who need it at this sad time. I also spoke with Malibu Mayor Steve Uhring and LASD Captain Jenn Seetoo, and we are unified in our call for action.

At their request, I have asked Governor Newsom to include Malibu in the speed camera pilot being explored by the state and will work with our legislators to ensure necessary steps are taken to improve safety on our state highways in the area, including PCH.
