Public safety is vital to any community. I secured major federal funding for the Atascadero Police Department. With these funds, Atascadero law enforcement will have enhanced response capacity and will be better equipped to ensure community safety.

Honored to have been part of Meals on Wheels Santa Cruz County’s 50th anniversary celebration. For half a century, Meals on Wheels has been at the forefront of local efforts to strengthen food security and our community.
Glad to recently tour a CHISPA housing community. Look forward to continue our work addressing our affordable housing issues here in CA-19.
I voted yes on the War Powers Resolution which would have mandated Congressional authorization for any further conflict in Iran. Although the resolution failed, I support 2 other resolutions so Congress can have the necessary debate over any further military involvement in Iran.
That’s why Congress is pushing for commonsense law enforcement protocols and training for ICE and CBP agents, and bipartisan immigration reform that secures the border, strengthens asylum, legalizes Dreamers, and protects law-abiding immigrants who contribute so much to CA-19.
With Stephen Miller still driving policy at DHS, we must continue to hold this Administration accountable.
Removing Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary is a big step that was long time coming but only the first step to reigning in and reforming DHS and its mass deportation policy, that has gone well beyond felons and gang members.

The Wall Street Journal is right – Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act is an obsolete holdover from a bygone era. President Trump is twisting it to preserve his damaging tariff agenda. We must pass my Reclaim Trade Powers Act to eliminate this relic and ensure it can’t be abused.
I convened local leaders to discuss the economic impact of the Admin’s leasing proposal for offshore oil drilling. Our pristine coastline attract $3.1 billion in visitor spending per year for the county and together we will continue to work to protect our coastline.
I will stand with our servicemembers and vote in favor of the bipartisan War Powers Resolution tomorrow.
Great to meet with advocates for expanding research, testing, and treatment for stomach cancer.
Great to meet with advocates for increased funding for childhood cancer research.
The American people deserve nothing less.
I am voting for the bipartisan War Powers Resolution this week that mandates explanation and accountability from this Administration, debate and deliberation from Congress, and the consensus of the governed.
The conflict in Iran is about to be the least debated prolonged foreign war in American History. With this attack on Iran, the President ignored the will of the American people and still has not presented a coherent plan for the day after.
Happy Holi to all those in the 19th Congressional District who celebrate. May the Festival of Colors bring rejuvenation, and I hope all those who celebrate have a safe and meaningful Holi.
Chag Sameach to all those in CA-19 celebrating the holiday of Purim. We celebrate the resilience of the Jewish people in the face of antisemitism and I hope all those in the 19th Congressional District have a happy and safe holiday.
Our Founding Fathers gave Congress the sole power to debate and declare war in the Constitution, as the branch of government closest to the American people. Congress must act to ensure that the Administration has a strategy for the day-after in Iran and the region.
I will be voting yes on the bipartisan War Power Resolution this week, which will require the President to seek Congressional approval on any further military action in Iran.
The Administration continues to protect Donald Trump, rather than hold any and all predators involved in the Epstein files accountable. The victims of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice, and the American people deserve full accountability and transparency.

Kristi Noem is unfit to lead the Department of Homeland Security. That's why I called for her to step down earlier this year, and why I support impeachment efforts. Secretary Noem must take accountability for the reckless actions of ICE and CBP agents in our communities.

Great to meet with a local nonprofit that provides social and health services to vulnerable community members.
That is why Congress must fulfill our obligations under the constitution by supporting this week’s bipartisan War Powers Resolution.
I will vote for the bipartisan War Powers Resolution mandating Congressional authorization for any further conflict in Iran.
Once again, the President has not abided by our Constitution when it comes to invading foreign sovereign states.
Proud to deliver $3.15 million in federal funding for the repair and revitalization of the Santa Cruz Wharf. This iconic structure generates 1 in 10 jobs for Santa Cruz, and happy that my work in Congress is focused on supporting our community rather than sowing chaos.
I will continue to lead the opposition to this Administration’s attempts to “drill baby drill” on our coastline.
People across California’s 19th Congressional District have the right to make their voices heard on this Administration’s proposal on offshore drilling. I joined my colleagues to demand that the Department of the Interior extend the public comment period.

Always great to hold office hours and hear from my constituents. Appreciate that so many showed up, willing to engage on the current issues and see where I can help them with the federal government.
Our pristine coastline is the backbone of our economy in California’s 19th Congressional District. That’s why I will continue to fight in Congress to protect our beauty, bounty, and economy on the Central Coast.
