George Papadopoulos, an advisor to the Trump campaign, made a plea agreement following his Oct. 5 guilty plea of making false state- ments to FBI agents. “The charges allege that Paul Manafort and Rick Gates defrauded the United States while promoting Russian interests,” Lieu said. “George Papadopoulos' guilty plea confirms that while he was serving as a campaign advisor to Donald Trump, he communicated extensive- ly with Russians who claimed they had dirt on Hillary Clinton, touted his Russian connections to cam- paign supervisors and the president, and then lied to the FBI. “What frustrates me is that House Republicans have repeatedly reject- ed and ignored my colleagues' requests to work together to investi- gate Russia's cyber-attacks, disinfor- mation campaign, and other efforts to undermine the strength of our nation,” he continued. Trump said via Twitter that his campaign did not collude with Russia, one of the investigation’s concerns.

Padilla calls for renewed investment in elections On Oct. 30, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla released a state- ment regarding the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Help America Vote Act, touching upon its continued importance to the country’s political systems. “Fifteen years ago, in the wake of the 2000 Presidential Election and debacle in the state of Florida, the United States Congress came together and adopted the Help America Vote Act on a bipartisan basis. Among other things, HAVA provided funding to improve voting across the nation. In California, HAVA funding helped counties purchase new and upgraded voting equipment, and allowed the Secretary of State’s office to develop and deploy VoteCal, our statewide centralized voter registration data- base. HAVA was the kind of com- monsense bipartisan response to a real crisis that Americans deserve to see from government. Today, our vot- ing systems are once again at a cross- roads. Aging voting systems are the gravest threat to our democracy. State and county elections officials work diligently to maintain voting systems, but we need help. As we celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of HAVA, we must also recognize the urgent need to invest in election modernization once again to ensure the transparency, security, accessibility, and integrity of our elections.”

“State and county elections officials work diligently to maintain voting systems, but we need help.”

Patrick Wayne, JWCI chairman and son of John Wayne, joined More, Ross, and Anita Swift, JWCI Auxiliary president and granddaughter of John Wayne, at the gala. Ross, also known as “Dr. Sherry,” is an award-winning obstetrician-gynecologist, entrepreneur, author and women’s health expert practicing for 25 years in Santa Monica. More underwent a preventative dou- ble mastectomy after being diagnosed with a BRCA 1 genetic mutation, which increases the risk of breast cancer, when she was 24 years old. Through social media, she rallied young women affected by breast cancer and has organized events to empower women. Since 1981, the Wayne fam- ily has been committed to pioneering cancer research in memory of their father actor John Wayne, who died of cancer. Researchers at the institute have made groundbreaking discoveries that have changed the way cancer is detected, diagnosed and treated.
