• Huntington Beach offers accessibility training to local businsses (travelweekly.com subscription) — Huntington Beach has become the first city in California to earn Sensory Inclusive certification, after more than 1,500 local hospitality and public safety workers completed specialized accessibility training. The effort, paired with upgrades at nearly 30 hotels and attractions, aims to make everyday experiences easier for residents and visitors with sensory needs or mobility challenges across the city.
• Law Enforcement, Fire and Emergency Services Honored at Orange County Business Council's First Responders Dinner (ocbc.org) — Huntington Beach just hosted the Orange County Business Council's First Responders Dinner, honoring law enforcement, firefighters, medical teams, and emergency workers from across the region. Local leaders, including Huntington Beach's police chief, shared lessons from recent crises and highlighted how coordinated response and strong public safety keep Orange County communities resilient. Sponsors and civic partners helped spotlight decades of service and lifesaving work.
• Endorsement: Re-elect Robert Garcia in the 42nd congressional district (ocregister.com) — Voters in Huntington Beach are part of a newly redrawn 42nd Congressional District that stretches from Long Beach through Newport Beach, where Rep.
