Serving my community in the 7th district continues to be the honor of my life.
My mission is as clear as ever – to advance the interests of our region and make sure Sacramentans continue to thrive despite the challenges we face.
Proud to have secured over $17M from the @EPA for @SacLFCC's Greening North Franklin Project.
This funding will allow La Familia to develop a community resilience hub, assist with energy efficient upgrades, and create new, much needed green space. 🌳

President @JoeBiden is an extraordinary American, phenomenal public servant, and honest, compassionate leader.
By choosing to step aside as the Democratic nominee he has, again, chosen unity. We all owe @POTUS a debt of gratitude.
Thank you, Mr. President.
On this #EarthDay, I’m proud to introduce a resolution celebrating Earth Day as a recognition of our collective responsibility to ensure the preservation of our planet.
Sustained bold action is critical to protect our planet for generations to come.

My statement on the passing of @SenFeinstein.
Dianne was a special person, an extraordinary American, and I was lucky to call her a close friend. My prayers are with all of her family and friends during this difficult time. Dianne will truly be missed.
The CHIPS Act took two years of hard work to come to fruition—and now I’m focused on ensuring the Sacramento region gets its slice of the pie.
The Tech Hub program will position us at the forefront of the clean energy revolution.

One year ago, the Inflation Reduction Act became law. This bill is reducing health care costs, slashing the price of prescription drugs, and tackling the climate crisis.
The IRA is delivering for the Sacramento region. I'll continue to fiercely defend the progress we have made.
Three years ago, I introduced the original CHIPS Act to address an urgent economic and national security threat—America’s decline in the semiconductor industry.
It took years of hard work to get it across the finish line, but finally one year ago today, it was signed into law.
I’m proud to be a Californian. We’ve always led the nation in addressing air pollution. But Republicans want to force California to keep dirty fossil fuel vehicles on our roads forever.
I won’t stand for it. Our children’s future depends on the EV transition.
We must root out biases & injustices that certain algorithms continue to perpetuate.
I’m proud to partner with @SenMarkey to introduce the Algorithmic Justice & Online Platform Transparency Act, which would ensure oversight to hold platforms accountable.

Telehealth can address disparities in the system & bridge gaps in care while preserving quality & improving health outcomes.
That’s why I introduced the CONNECT Act with @RepThompson, @RepBillJohnson, & @RepDavid, which aims to expand telehealth access for millions on Medicare.
Proud that we've secured @FAANews funding to build our new air traffic control tower at @FlySMF.
From initial planning to today’s announcement, I've fought to ensure that decision makers at the highest levels understood the importance of getting this project to the finish line.
Thanks to the leadership of Rep @DorisMatsui, @RepMcCaul, and the High Tech Caucus, we have an opportunity to unleash the next generation of American innovation, protect our national security, and preserve our global economic competitiveness as we implement CHIPS.
As co-authors of the CHIPS for America Act, @RepMcCaul and I held a briefing with @SecRaimondo on the implementation of the CHIPS and Science Act.
The decisions we make will have lasting implications for job creation, economic competitiveness, and global leadership.
I celebrated the over $1M in funding that I secured for the @FoodLitCenter's Student Garden—at which young people will get to take their food from seedling to their plate. I've been a supporter from the beginning—& I can’t think of a more deserving place to receive this funding.
Protecting mature & old-growth trees is one of the simplest ways to preserve our ecosystems & mitigate climate change. That's why I led my colleagues in urging @SecVilsack & @SecDebHaaland to formalize regulations that protect these trees on federal lands.

The spread of misinformation, hate speech, and political extremism online has been meteoric.
That's why at today's @EnergyCommerce Communications and Technology Subcommittee hearing I highlighted the facts — and I will continue to hold online platforms accountable ⬇️
