I am honored to represent California's new 19th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Postal Service should be focused on stopping drug trafficking, mail theft, and crimes against children, not assisting this Administration with its deportation policies. I joined my colleagues in demanding USPS return to its core mission. postaltimes.com/congressional-…
We kept the pressure on this administration, and they’ve backed down, releasing the $7B in education funds it froze on July 1st, including $928M for California. We worked hard to get this funding flowing again. chalkbeat.org/2025/07/25/tru…
A constituent contacted me after waiting too long for her 2023 IRS refund. I helped submit the right documentation and pushed for resolution. She got her full refund of $1,894.07. Despite the division in D.C., I work with anybody to ensure the federal government works for you…

Today, I toured the largest immigration detention facility in California to conduct congressional oversight, ask tough questions, and demand that detainees are treated properly. As this Administration expands and increases detention facilities with billions from the…
Big congrats to Marcum Olive Oil in Paso Robles for being crowned “Best of Show” at the ATHENA International Olive Oil Competition, for the SECOND year in a row! Turns out the best olive oil in the world doesn’t come from Greece or Italy... it comes from California’s 19th…
Youth experiencing homelessness are at risk of losing access to critical services because of a rushed federal grant deadline from this Administration. I led over 50 of my colleagues in urging an extension, so local providers can continue offering safe shelter, trauma-informed…


Proud to see the federal investment in Scotts Valley’s future Town Center moving forward! Through this federal funding, we will help create affordable housing, support local jobs, and build a vibrant downtown core. Grateful to partner with city leaders to help bring this vision…
The community has worked way too hard and waited way too long on the Pajaro River Flood Risk Management Project for this Administration to now omit it from the Army Corps work plan. Despite this thoughtless decision, our partnership at all levels of government will continue to…
The closure of the Westside Planned Parenthood clinic is a direct result of President Donald Trump’s reconciliation law and its cuts to Medicaid, undermining a major part of the health care safety net for women and families, not just in our 19th Congressional District, but all…

Many veterans face serious health risks, including increased cancer rates linked to their time in the cockpit. With final House passage, the bipartisan ACES Act is now on its way to becoming law, to get our aviators and their families the answers and care they deserve. We’re…
Met with local producers to discuss my support for specialty crops, conservation programs, and crop insurance. I’ll keep fighting against the Administration’s dangerous cuts that impact these critical programs and continue to advocate for more investment in agricultural research,…

After 28 years of service, Monterey City Manager Hans Uslar is retiring this December. From transportation to coastal resilience, Hans helped guide the city through enormous challenges. Thank you for your leadership and dedication to our community, Hans. Wishing you all the best…
This week, I joined my SEEC colleagues to hear directly from former NOAA and National Weather Service officials about what’s happening inside their old agencies under this Administration. I’ll keep pushing for science, transparency, and investments that keep Americans informed…

It’s been 16 years since the last minimum wage increase. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @DonaldNorcross explains how Republicans are holding workers back and how Democrats are fighting for a more affordable America with higher wages and lower costs.
The Administration is holding back $7 billion in federal education investments, including nearly $1 billion for California. I joined two Congressional requests to release this funding. Every student in CA-19 deserves a fully funded classroom and every opportunity to succeed. We…
When a constituent struggled to get her father’s military records after the St. Louis archive fire, I stepped in. We secured proof of service in two weeks and ensured her father’s medals, including the Purple Heart and Combat Infantryman Badge, were delivered directly to her…

Great to meet with advocates working to strengthen global food security and agricultural research through investments that are critical to fighting hunger, advancing innovation, and promoting a more sustainable and secure world.

🚨 We just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files 8-2 in our @OversightDems subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.
