Among the topics included in her remarks, the congresswoman discussed her successful efforts to secure federal funding for many important downtown initiatives, including refurbishing St. Vibiana's Cathedral, replacing and repairing sidewalks on Broadway, construction of a new federal courthouse, the Avenida Primera project, a Red Car trolley feasibility study and revitalization of the areas along the Los Angeles River.
