The Forest Service is awarding $80 million to support timber innovation. That means real progress for forest health and rural jobs. These funds will help restore mills, grow markets for American wood, and reduce wildfire risk by putting more dead trees to use. After years of red…

I was pleased to see the House pass the Rescissions Act last night, cutting $9 billion in wasteful federal spending. The bill now heads to President Trump's desk to be signed into law. This is exactly the kind of action voters sent us here to take. We're cutting junk spending,…

Earlier today, my Chico District Office and the neighboring businesses were evacuated because a clearly disturbed woman dropped off a package and devil worship candle display against “heteronormative, cisgendered, capitalists, ableists” garbage. Thank you to the Chico Police…

I’ve been pushing to end this boondoggle for years. 100% support the work of @SecDuffy and @realDonaldTrump to end all federal money for High Cost Rail! I was happy to be with Secretary Duffy in the Central Valley earlier this year to announce the review that led to this…

The budget reconciliation package takes long-overdue steps to fix our forests by boosting timber harvests and removing dangerous fuel. For Northern California, it’s a real step toward preventing wildfires and protecting our towns.

California’s refusal to comply with the clear rules of Title IX isn’t just another political stunt by Gavin Newsom—it’s a direct hit to our kids. We have schools right here in our district that want to follow the federal interpretation of Title IX, not the radical policies…

It was great having @SecDuffy before the T&I Committee today. We dug into some important issues like the Tulelake airport, the boondoggle that is California High-Cost Rail, and these one-size-fits-all EV mandates. I’m glad to see he understands what matters to the North State and…

Radical so-called animal rights activists are using state laws like Prop 12 to force their agenda on the rest of the country, hurting farmers, vets, and families in the process. Congress must step in.

Earlier this week, I sat down with Suzanne Alexander and RFD-TV for their Champions of Rural America segment. We discussed budget reconciliation, tax breaks, investing in agriculture, and the outlook for a skinny Farm Bill. Watch the interview here: rfdtv.com/champions-of-r…

Water, forests, and energy security are all covered in this budget reconciliation package. It directs $1 billion to build and upgrade water storage and delivery systems across the West — a big deal for Californians who depend on a reliable water supply. It also requires the…

The budget reconciliation package takes a major step toward securing our border. It puts over $46 billion toward expanding and finishing the border wall — with 701 miles of new primary barriers, 900 miles of river barriers, plus upgrades and replacements where needed. It invests…

Medicaid (called Medi-Cal here in California) is supposed to be a safety net for children, people with disabilities, and low-income families. The new budget reconciliation law strengthens that system by making sure it’s focused on those who truly rely on it. Here’s what’s…

American energy production gets a strong push forward in the budget reconciliation package. It requires the Interior Department to hold regular lease sales for oil and gas — both onshore across the West and offshore in the Gulf and Alaska — opening up millions of acres that have…

The budget reconciliation package updates the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by returning to mandatory work requirements and tighter accountability designed to strengthen the program and ensure it serves those who need it most. Work requirements now cover more…

Meaningful tax relief for working families, seniors, and small businesses is at the forefront of the recently enacted budget reconciliation package. It makes the 2017 tax cuts permanent — avoiding an average $1,700 tax hike — and ensures families keep more of what they earn by…
