Today, on Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who put on the uniform, answered the call to serve, and stood ready to defend our nation.

The freedoms we enjoy today have been protected by generations of Americans who were willing to serve and sacrifice.

We are a grateful community and a grateful nation. 🇺🇸

Congratulations to @GOPMajorityWhip Tom Emmer on being chosen again as House Republican Whip!

Tom has been an incredible leader as Whip, and he knows how to build the conservative coalitions we need to win.

I'm grateful for his leadership and look forward to working with him in the next Congress. 🇺🇸

[Rep. Vince Fong @RepVinceFong]

Today, our Republican conference had the opportunity to choose between two great leaders.

I am grateful for the many years @SteveScalise has dedicated to championing conservative policies across the country and I look forward to continuing to work with him to deliver for our communities.

[Rep. Vince Fong @RepVinceFong]

Congratulations to @Jim_Jordan on being elected House Republican Leader!

Jim has never backed down from a fight, and he’s the right man at the right time to lead our caucus.

Together, we will work to restore affordability and champion commonsense solutions for the American people. 🇺🇸

Happy National STEM Day!

The next generation of innovators are sitting in classrooms across our communities today. The breakthroughs that will shape our future—in energy, agriculture aviation, space, engineering, and technologies we haven’t even imagined yet—will come from right here at home.

That’s why I’m fighting to expand STEM education opportunities, from my bipartisan NSF AI Education Act to the $1.1 million I secured for Cerro Coso’s new cybersecurity program.

We’re investing in our students today so they can lead the innovations of tomorrow. 🚀

[Rep. Vince Fong @RepVinceFong]

Honored to speak at Legacy Christian Academy’s “Celebrating Our Heroes” program today.

Thank you to the veterans in attendance for your service along with their families, and to the students for honoring them. Grateful for each veteran for inspiring all of us with their commitment to our country.

Ahead of Veterans Day, take a moment to thank a veteran. We are a grateful community and nation.🇺🇸

Californians should be appalled and outraged.

Gavin Newsom waited until two days after the election to overturn 548 death sentences. If he believed this was the right decision, why didn’t he let voters weigh in?

He put his own ambition over victims - victims who had to find out about this decision from a press release.

That’s not leadership. That’s political cowardice.

Dear Governor,

Just over 12 years ago, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy Danny Oliver and Placer County Sheriff’s Detective Michael Davis Jr. were brutally executed by Luis Bracamontes. Bracamontes was a convicted drug dealer in the midst of a crime spree with his girlfriend when he opened fire on Danny as he approached his vehicle. Bracamontes fled, carjacked several vehicles, shot a civilian before fatally shooting Detective Michael Davis Jr. with a rifle and seriously wounding Davis’ partner, Deputy Jeff Davis.

I went to that crime scene and remember every detail vividly. I also remember watching Bracamontes laugh in court while their families, including Danny’s two young daughters, had to sit and watch. Bracamontes was convicted of murder by a jury of his peers, who then sentenced him to death.

Deputy Danny Oliver and Detective Michael Davis Jr. should be alive today, enjoying long and healthy lives with their families. Instead, the man who murdered them has now escaped his sentence.

Governor, I urge you to reconsider any proposal to commute the death sentences of all 548 people on death row, especially that of Luis Bracamontes. This isn’t just about the death penalty. It’s about accountability, honoring the decisions of juries, respecting the will of California voters, and standing with the families of victims who have already suffered unimaginable loss.

[Rep. Vince Fong @RepVinceFong]

Incomprehensible.

This is who Gavin Newsom is fighting for.

Five times in the last five decades, California voters have voted to leave the death penalty as an option to prosecutors.

Newsom not only ignored the will of the people, but he sided with the most violent, evil criminals over their victims.

It’s absolutely shameful and a complete slap in the face to victims.

[Amy Swearer @AmySwearer]

Among these are some of the most clear-cut cases justifying execution you can imagine, including:

- A cult leader who systematically sexually abused his own daughters and nieces, then murdered nine of his kids and grandkids over a custody dispute.

- A serial killer who murdered at least 11 people (likely closer to 25), including two infants, and who subjected his female victims to prolonged periods of horrific sexual torture, which he video taped.

- A mass shooter who killed 7 people and wounded 4 more because he was upset that the female co-worker he stalked for years finally filed a restraining order against him.

[Rep. Vince Fong @RepVinceFong]

This is who Gavin Newsom decided to protect today.

[Haley Strack @StrackHaley]

In honor of Gavin Newsom commuting the death sentences of every death row prisoner in California, here's one of those inmates telling me how men on death row view pictures of naked kids/porn in prison.

(This man is a serial killer who strangled three women to death.)

[Rep. Vince Fong @RepVinceFong]

In Gavin Newsom’s California, violent criminals come before victims.

Every Californian should be appalled and outraged.

I will keep standing with the families who never stopped fighting for justice, even when Newsom won’t.

[Rep. Vince Fong @RepVinceFong]

The Water Resources Development Act is a massive win for California’s water, farmers, families, and communities.

It passed the House, and I’m proud that it included a number of local needs that I fought to include.

From expanding water storage at the Pine Flat Dam, to enlarging Eastman Lake, to providing new resources to combat wildfires, this bill continues our efforts to invest in critical infrastructure and expand our water supplies.

[Rep. Vince Fong @RepVinceFong]

Thanks, @GavinNewsom!

Thanks, @realDonaldTrump!

Got the opportunity to meet with the Olive Oil Commission of California to discuss California’s olive growers and producers.

California produces 99% of all American olive oil. Protecting this critical industry is essential to our communities, and the nation's food supply.

I'm committed to supporting our growers, strengthening our agriculture, and ensuring our producers can compete domestically and internationally.

[Rep. Vince Fong @RepVinceFong]

Reliable water is the foundation of the Central Valley and the farmers who feed our nation depend on it.

I met with @Westlands_Water to discuss improving water reliability and getting resources where they’re needed most. I fought to secure $540 million in California water funding, but the work doesn’t stop here.

I'll continue working to bolster our water infrastructure and ensure our communities have clean, reliable, and abundant water supplies.
