San Pedro, CA – This morning, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn held a press conference calling on retailers to better protect consumers from a growing gift card scam problem amid holiday shopping. Just last week, Supervisor Hahn bought a Vanilla gift card at a CVS for her nephew’s birthday that was drained before he could use it. 

“I am fortunate,” said Supervisor Hahn. “What I lost on this gift card I was easily able to repay in cash to my nephew. But I am worried about the people who are barely scraping by who can’t afford to be ripped off.”

The scam, known as “gift card draining,” works two ways. In the first instance, scammers attach a barcode from a card they already have to an unsold gift card in a store. When someone buys the tampered card and loads money onto it, they are loading money onto the scammer’s card. In the second instance, a scammer would steal the details off a legitimate gift card and then place it back on a store rack. That scammer can then track when the card is bought and loaded and then quickly drain the money.

2023-2024 Legislative Survey



As your California State Assemblymember representing the new 65th Assembly District, I am honored to represent our communities in the Legislature. Our new district includes Watts, Willowbrook, Compton, Carson, North Long Beach, Harbor Gateway North & South, Harbor City, Wilmington and San Pedro, which consist of approximately 500,000 people.

Since I was elected in 2014, it has been my goal to have your input shape the bills that I introduce, making them part of my legislative agenda and top priorities each session. You may be wondering how this is done - well, I am happy to share. Every year, I send out a survey asking members of our communities what they would like me to work on legislatively. I ask that they take a couple of minutes to fill out the survey and email it right back to me. As a direct result of this input, my top priorities have been public safety, homelessness, police reform, health care, education and more.

Your ideas, suggestions and priorities have been critical in guiding this work that has turned into meaningful action for the benefit of our communities and throughout our great state. I could not have done this without YOU.

Now it is time to realize our vision for 2024.

I ask that you continue to help guide my legislative priorities by taking 2 short minutes to fill out the following survey. I look forward to your input and serving you in the new 65th Assembly District.
