Last week I visited the Martinez VA Medical Center to discuss to the importance of expanding behavioral health care to veterans, improving the patient experience, and investing in site expansion and new programming, and how I can best support our community’s veterans in Congress.

We had a wonderful Environmental Town Hall and Resource Fair at @EBRPD’s Big Break Regional Shoreline in Oakley this morning. I provided updates on my work in Congress to protect the planet, and we were joined by community leaders who discussed local efforts to preserve clean air…
The level of fear that many immigrant communities live with, especially in light of ICE’s recent actions, is palpable. I am still outraged that masked agents arrested people who were at their hearings, following the proper legal and judicial processes, at Concord Immigration…
As we approach a monthlong District Work Period, I am excited to share some of the upcoming events we have planned to connect with you. Tune in to hear about our upcoming lineup including an Environmental Town Hall & Resource Fair in Oakley this Saturday and a virtual town hall…
🚨BIG NEWS: Our efforts to force the Trump Administration to release billions of dollars that they were illegally withholding from public schools across the country have paid off. Trump has backed down and these funds will be released to schools to support our students, teachers,…
Since taking office in January, Trump has attempted to enact illegal and unconstitutional policies, including cutting billions in federal funding for programs Americans rely on, attempting to end birthright citizenship, and dismantling the Department of Education. In response,…
The situation in Gaza is dire. Aid groups and the World Health Organization are all in agreement that mass starvation is spreading and needs to be addressed urgently. The Trump Administration needs to do all it can to put pressure on the Netanyahu regime to take immediate action.…

House Republicans have decided to halt all business in the House of Representatives and go home early so they don’t have to vote on releasing the Epstein files. Why are they so afraid of the American public seeing what is in the Epstein files?
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released its final scorecard for the Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill and found that it will increase the federal deficit by $3.4 trillion and kick more than 10 million Americans off of their health insurance. This bill is a betrayal of the…

Our office participated in the annual Port Chicago commemoration ceremony today to mark 81 years since the devastating explosion and celebrate 1 year of exoneration for the wrongly convicted Port Chicago 50. I was proud to lead the fight in Congress for exoneration and celebrate…
