I'm proud to announce that my office has recovered $25 MILLION in benefits and refunds owed to Sacramento County residents!

Since taking office in 2013, my casework team has assisted nearly 40,000 constituents. We've helped seniors secure Social Security benefits, veterans receive the benefits they've earned, taxpayers recover delayed refunds from the IRS, and more.

If you need help with a federal agency, visit https://t.co/kaoUecXMgJ to learn how my office may be able to assist.

On Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have served our nation and defended our freedoms.

I recently had the privilege of presenting the Purple Heart and Bronze Star Medal to 100-year-old World War II veteran and longtime Citrus Heights resident Corporal Emil Giusti.

Emil served in the U.S. Army during the liberation of the Philippines and was wounded in combat during the Battle of Luzon in 1945. Although he earned both medals during his service, he never received them.

After his family contacted my office, we were proud to help secure these long-overdue honors and recognize Emil as my office’s November Veteran of the Month.

Thank you, Emil, and to all our nation's veterans for your courage, service, and sacrifice.

Pete Hegseth is unquestionably unfit to lead the Pentagon.

I will be voting to impeach him.

Wishing a safe, healthy, and joyous Diwali to everyone celebrating in the Sacramento region and around the world!

As we celebrate the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil, may this Festival of Lights inspire us to come together and build a brighter future for all.

Happy Election Day!

Here’s a few important reminders as Election Day gets underway.

[Ami Bera, M.D. @RepBera]

Great to join the California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce in Sacramento for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Small Business Transportation Technical Assistance Center!

This federally funded center will serve businesses across 10 states and Guam right here in Sacramento. By helping entrepreneurs access resources and compete for transportation contracts, this investment will create jobs and strengthen our region’s economy.

Thank you to the California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce for hosting me and for your continued work to support small businesses across our state.

Happy Halloween!

It was great running into my friends from the Rotary Club of Fair Oaks earlier this week at their annual Safe Halloween event in Fair Oaks Village.

Wishing everyone a safe and spooky night! 🎃👻

Janine and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Dolores Huerta, a towering voice who dedicated her life to fighting for dignity and opportunity for all.

As co-founder of the United Farm Workers, she helped generations of farmworkers secure better pay, safer working conditions, and greater protections in the workplace. Her tireless organizing changed California and our nation for the better.

Our thoughts are with her family, loved ones, and the countless people she inspired.

Dolores Huerta, a civil rights icon who grew up in Stockton and advocated for farmworkers rights, dies at 96. https://t.co/texy30mvoz

Great to join the Arden + Howe Business Alliance for their second annual State of Arden event at Punch Line Sacramento!

I appreciated the opportunity to talk about my work in Congress to support small businesses, catch up with old friends, and hear about efforts to improve public safety and revitalize the Arden District.

Thank you to the Arden + Howe Business Alliance for hosting a great event and for all you do to strengthen the Arden-Arcade community!

🏡💙 Thank you, Congressman Ami Bera (@RepBera) for visiting our 26-home development in Citrus Heights! Your continued advocacy and support for federal funding help make affordable homeownership possible for more local families.

[Ami Bera, M.D. @RepBera]

Great to see the progress being made on Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento’s 26-home affordable housing community on Sayonara Drive in Citrus Heights!

I had the opportunity to meet with new and future homeowners and hear firsthand what this project means for their families.

I was proud to help secure $1,050,000 in federal funding to support this project and help more local families achieve the dream of homeownership.

With the first homes completed and more on the way, it's exciting to see this investment making a real difference for families in our community.

Thank you to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento, the City of Citrus Heights, and all the community partners helping make this project a reality!

Elon Musk and Trump officials have given conflicting accounts of the slowdown of Starlink and Starshield services used by Ukraine.

But this is clear: The slowdown crippled Ukrainian defenses and endangered innocent lives.

Congress must investigate who authorized this decision and hold those responsible to account.

The attempted shooting at @CongressmanRaja’s temple is a harrowing reminder of the threats facing Hindu communities and other communities targeted by religious and racial hatred.

I signed this letter demanding that the FBI investigate this incident as a potential hate crime.

[Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja]

I led 105 lawmakers in demanding the FBI investigate the attempted mass shooting at my family’s Hindu temple in Aurora as a potential hate crime.
We must confront the rising tide of anti-Indian hate and the online threats putting our communities at risk.

Proud to have received a perfect 100 on the Human Rights Campaign's Congressional Scorecard for my commitment to LGBTQ+ equality!

I will always stand up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans and push back against efforts to roll back their hard-earned freedoms.

[Ami Bera, M.D. @RepBera]

Every American outside of the richest 1% is paying more as a result of Donald Trump’s tax and economic policies.

Families across the Sacramento region deserve better.

That's why I'm fighting in Congress to bring down costs, make our tax code fairer, and build an economy that works for all Americans.

I was asked earlier this week by CNN if I thought the Trump administration was abandoning Ukraine.

Trump’s decision to waive new sanctions on Russia should leave no doubt: that is exactly what is happening.

My Republican colleagues pushed hard to pass the Lindsey Graham Russia sanctions bill before we left town. They ought to be standing up and screaming at the top of their lungs that we don't side with Russia.

We must stand with the Ukrainian people.

[Ami Bera, M.D. @RepBera]

Trump’s diesel deal gives Vladimir Putin millions of dollars to finance his war against the Ukrainian people while doing next to nothing to lower prices at the pump. 

This dangerous and irresponsible decision must be reversed.

That’s why I joined 17 of my colleagues in introducing bipartisan legislation to block it.

[House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems @HouseForeign]

🚨🚨Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks, joined by 17 House colleagues, introduced the bipartisan Prohibit Corrupt Russia Oil Deals Act to block President Trump’s corrupt deal with Vladimir Putin to purchase and import Russian diesel.

Today is World Food Day, yet millions of Americans are going hungry because of Republican cuts to SNAP and the rising cost of groceries due to Trump's tariffs.

New Dems will continue fighting against these reckless policies so that no American has to go hungry.

[House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems @HouseForeign]

Ranking Members @RepGregoryMeeks & @RepBera joined bipartisan colleagues in a letter to Amb. Waltz calling on the US to oppose an effort by the Burmese military junta to credential or seat a junta-appointed official—a brazen attempt to legitimize its sham electoral process before the UN.
