For 40 years, my dad worked as a short-order cook and my mom cleaned houses. It’s because of their hard work and sacrifices that I stand here today, ready to preserve and fight for the American Dream.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

I’m the proud son of Mexican immigrants. My dad worked as a short-order cook, and my mom cleaned houses.

I’m proud to be living the American Dream. I’m fighting every day in the Senate so you can too.

See you in court.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

I don’t trust Kash Patel or Todd Blanche to follow the law when it comes to our elections.

That’s why I’m doing EVERYTHING in my power to make sure we are prepared and ready to handle anything they throw at us.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Don’t poke the bear. Proud of California again and again.

I will do everything in my power to ensure our elections remain SAFE and SECURE.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

California WILL protect our elections.

I just signed legislation to make it A FELONY to illegally seize or interfere with ballots before elections are certified.

When it comes to our elections, California is not messing around.

Hate against Sikh and South Asian Americans is on the rise, including from Trump's DHS. Everyone in America deserves to be safe, and those who commit violence must be held accountable.

Praying for the victim of this attack and for his full recovery. https://t.co/FJ5lu6oxOI

Wildland firefighters save lives and always step up in the face of danger.

It's up to us to make sure we’ve got their back.

I introduced a bill with my colleagues to help equip wildland firefighters with the resources they need to do their jobs safely as they brave these dangerous conditions.

Are you serious?

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Opening our National Parks to private developers is a red line we cannot cross.

I’m fighting to protect Yosemite and put an end to the administration’s brazen efforts to put profit above one of our most iconic parks.

@SenAlexPadilla and I have battled this administration’s attempts to fund this land grab in Congress. It’s time for them to stop.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Hell yeah they are!

How do we make college affordable for students?

A debt-free college experience — that includes reducing the FULL costs of higher education tuition.

I’m proud to cosponsor a bill to make this happen.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Wildfire firefighters save lives and always step up in the face of danger.

It's up to us to make sure we’ve got their back.
