When we don't have enough skilled workers, fewer homes get built in the Central Valley. The bipartisan Dignity Act will strengthen border security, fix our broken immigration system, and help ensure we have the workforce needed to build more homes and create opportunity in #CA13.
This morning, Team Gray was in Newman at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Hills Ferry Road Bridge Replacement Project.
Replacing this outdated bridge will improve connectivity and help keep #CA13 communities on both sides of the San Joaquin River safe for years to come.
Spent some time in Stanislaus County at the annual Patterson Apricot Fiesta.
Patterson’s history is closely tied to California’s apricot industry. Generations of #CA13 growers helped make this community known as the Apricot Capital of the World.
This Memorial Day, Team Gray was in Merced, Santa Nella, Los Banos, Madera, Newman, Lathrop, Patterson, Ceres, Modesto, Hughson, and more communities across #CA13 to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.
Last week, Team Gray was in Fresno County for the Mendota Community Center groundbreaking ceremony.
We helped secure $2 million dollars in community project funding to help make this a reality.
This new community center will be a great resource to the City of Mendota and the people of #CA13.
In Congress, I often find myself in between the “talk more, spend more” crowd and the “cut everything and then change the subject” crowd.
Neither approach helps solve the water problems facing #CA13.
I asked @usbr how we can work together to ensure the Central Valley can actually build and expand its water infrastructure.
Happy 100 years, Valley Prescription & Compounding Pharmacy!
Team Gray was excited to help celebrate this milestone and recognize their dedication, diligence, and devotion to the people of #CA13.
There’s a real gap between what Central Valley farmers are being told and what they’re seeing on the ground.
I pressed Secretary Burgum on the need for real action on water and agriculture priorities for #CA13.
Crystal Creamery has been a dairy institution for more than 125 years, helping provide sustainable dairy products to the Central Valley and beyond.
Team Gray was onsite in Modesto to celebrate the company’s recertification as a California Green Business.
Over the weekend, Team Gray attended Hmong American Day in downtown Merced.
The event was a great opportunity to recognize and celebrate Hmong American heritage and culture here in the Valley.
The Stanislaus County Peace Officers Association held a solemn memorial service in Hughson to honor those who lost their lives in service to their community. We will never forget your service and sacrifice.
Stopped by Fire Station #1 to check in with Chief Evans and members of the @cityofmodesto Fire Department.
We secured $850,000 in federal funding to support upgrades and improvements to the station, helping ensure firefighters can continue responding quickly and effectively to emergencies in the Valley.
Met with Chief Gillespie and members of the @ModestoPolice to see how more than $1 million in federal funding we secured for cutting-edge technology upgrades will help keep the Valley safe.
