Twenty-six year retired @USMC Colonel. Former United States Congressman from California's 8th Congressional District. #Semperfi

[Col. Paul Cook (Ret.) @ColPaulCookRet]

Today, I resign from Congress in order to take my seat on the @SBCounty Board of Supervisors. Thank you to my constituents for giving me the opportunity to represent you in Congress. Serving the 8th District has been one of the greatest honors of my life. https://t.co/JcdT9bRbYQ

[Col. Paul Cook (Ret.) @ColPaulCookRet]

Today we honor those who put on the uniform and answered the call to serve. We must never forget the sacrifices our brave men and women made to build a brighter future for all.
Thank you, Veterans. Your courage, patriotism, and leadership continues to guide our great nation.

[Col. Paul Cook (Ret.) @ColPaulCookRet]

Happy 245th Birthday to @USMC! Today, we celebrate and honor the brave men and women of the Marine Corps who give their all to keep Americans safe at home and abroad. Thank you for your service and commitment to our nation. Semper Fidelis.

[Col. Paul Cook (Ret.) @ColPaulCookRet]

I wish the @POTUS and @FLOTUS a swift recovery from COVID-19. The Coronavirus is a very real threat that our nation is still fighting to overcome. We must all continue to do our part in keeping each other safe and healthy.

As the second female appointed to the Court and first Jewish woman, Justice Ginsberg, 87, served 27 years on the Supreme Court. A trailblazer & inspiration to many, she loomed large and her contributions to our justice system will live on. My condolences to her family and friends

Much of the American West has experienced horrific wildfires this year. That’s why I cosponsored HR 7978 to protect our communities from the threat of wildfires. I’m hopeful Congress will act quickly to pass this bill so the President can sign it into law. https://t.co/tb17hLuCOm

This past week, two deputies were ambushed while in their patrol car. Please take a moment to read this alert. If anyone has information on this, please call [phone]. My prayers are with them and their families.

FEMA grants have been made available to help American families and individuals struggling with lost wages due to COVID-19. As the pandemic continues, I call on Gov. Newsom to act swiftly in securing this critical assistance for the State of California. https://t.co/o5UM3fpwEL

I’m calling on Indian Wells Valley Groundwater Authority to delay consideration of its Basin Replenishment Fee hike. Searles Valley Minerals estimates a 7000% increase in water costs if it goes into effect. #savesearles

I strongly support a bipartisan extension of the #payrollsupportprogram for our aviation workers. It will save jobs and help the economy. Let’s get this done now.

[Morongo Basin @morongobasinstn]

#AppleFire COMMUNITY OF MORONGO VALLEY you are now subject to an Evacuation WARNING. There is a potential threat to life and/or property. Those who require additional time to evacuate, and those with pets and livestock should leave now. Evacuation route is Hwy 62 east or west.

I’m pleased to be an original cosponsor of the #JUSTICEAct. Thank you to @RepPeteStauber and @SenatorTimScott for introducing this legislation to help prevent violence and ensure better training for law enforcement officers.

Veterans are not a line item in a budget. They are human beings and, in this case, the bravest and most honorable among us. The Barstow Veterans Home represents our commitment to those who have served our country.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to fellow Veteran and newest Republican to Congress @RepMikeGarcia1 of California! I look forward to seeing the great work you’ll do for your community #CA25 and our country.

[Col. Paul Cook (Ret.) @ColPaulCookRet]

We’re making progress in combatting COVID-19, but HR 6800 wastes precious time and money. Instead of working together to help American families & small businesses, the House majority put forward an unfocused partisan bill that has no chance of becoming law https://t.co/XeQJ9WK9oC

[Col. Paul Cook (Ret.) @ColPaulCookRet]

During #NationalPoliceWeek2020 we recognize & remember our brave officers who have fallen in the line of duty. In this time of uncertainty, our officers continue to put their lives at risk every day to protect our communities. Be sure to thank them for all they do to keep us safe
