Research from @SmlBizMajority found that 60% of small businesses reported higher costs due to tariffs. Now, the dysfunctional refund process has made the chaos even worse. Main Street deserves better. That’s why I introduced legislation to create a Tariffs and Refunds Hotline, giving small businesses a dedicated place to voice their tariff‑related issues.
Secretary Hegseth broke international law, risked our national security, and put our servicemembers in harm’s way. I joined my veteran colleagues to send him a clear message: your time in the cabinet is up.
The American people have spoken, and they’ve had enough. They’re sick of Pete Hegseth’s incompetence, and they’re ready for steady leadership. On January 3rd, Democrats are taking the watch with a mandate to end the Iran war, bring down costs, and pink slip Pete Hegseth.
I had the privilege of delivering the keynote address at George Washington University’s Veterans Day celebration. I was honored to reflect on my life of public service, from my time at GW in the ROTC program, to my days in the Navy, to now serving in Congress. I will always fight to protect our servicemembers and deliver the absolute best for our veterans.
On Veterans Day, I am reminded of those who came before me—my family who inspired me to serve, the mentors who guided me, and the brothers and sisters in uniform who became lifelong friends. To every veteran, thank you for your service and sacrifice. You kept our country safe and I will always fight to protect your access to the healthcare, benefits, and opportunities you’ve earned.
I had the privilege of repping the Charter Oak baseball team's jersey at this year’s Congressional baseball game! I stopped by to thank the coach, principal, and superintendent for this honor and brought along some baseball cards of my own from the game. They weren’t quite Shohei Ohtani baseball cards, but in my defense, his career stats in the Congressional Baseball Game are nowhere near as good as mine.
It was a pleasure joining the Irwindale Chamber of Commerce's legislative luncheon. Thanks to the members, and small business owners for their commitment to enhancing our community and local economy. I look forward to our continued partnership.
I was grateful to join the Glendora Salute to Veterans lunch to honor our local heroes. Our veterans bravely served our country and they deserve the highest quality care and support.
This November, we recognize Veterans and Military Family Appreciation Month. As a Navy veteran, I know that serving our nation was hard on my loved ones and presented unique challenges. For all that our military families do to support those in uniform, I salute you.

Trump’s reckless policies are hurting hardworking families and driving up costs. Thanks to his illegal war and chaotic tariffs, families in CA-31 are paying $5,900+ more. Halloween candy alone is up 15.3%. This Halloween is all tricks and no treats.
Ramón Colón-López, from Puerto Rico, became the most senior enlisted leader in the military, rising to the role of Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff until his retirement in 2023.
I introduced a resolution recognizing the generations of Hispanic and Latino servicemembers who have served our nation with valor. In honor of their noteworthy contributions to our armed forces, I want to uplift their legacy of service throughout American history.
