What an informative listening session in Paso Robles!
@RepCarbajal, @RepJimmyPanetta, @RepJimCosta & I heard directly from farmers about the implementation of the 2018 Farm Bill's programs. Plus, we got valuable feedback about improvements needed in the next Farm Bill.
Thank you to Emily, Nancy, and Stephanie, for speaking with CHSA members today about their roles as Executive Directors in Congress. It’s always inspiring hearing from trailblazing Latinas like them.✨ Thank you to everyone who attended!
It was an honor to welcome @CAgovernor to Washington w/ the CA Democratic Congressional Delegation today.
We discussed how to ensure that the state & federal government work together to help California families & businesses.
“Everyone has their own history. We hope today is one step forward to respecting and understanding each and every one as a valuable person.”

.@RepCarbajal immigrated to the United States when he was only 5 years old.
He knew he wanted to serve because he wanted to give back to the country that allowed his family to live the American Dream.

My dad was a farmworker and he brought us to the US to give us a better life & shot at the American Dream.
Today, I gaveled in passage of the Farm Workforce Modernization Act which provides legal status to undocumented farmworkers.
How it started How it's going
Marjorie Taylor Greene's cyberbullying her colleague's child - the daughter of a Member of this body - with an ugly, bigoted attack is absolutely beyond the pale.
@RepMarieNewman's daughter deserves our colleagues' support, and has mine. Nobody deserves to be treated that way.
Tomorrow, I'll be chairing my first @TransportDems hearing as Chair of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee! We’ll be discussing the impacts of #COVID19 on the maritime industry.
Hope you can tune in!

This past week we saw an attempted coup at our Capitol as well as blatant disregard for the safety of members by my @HouseGOP colleagues.

I have faced violent hatred before.
I was not deterred then, and I will not be deterred now.
Tonight, Congress will continue the business of certifying the electoral college votes.
His appointment will make history. But the @AlexPadilla4CA I know is far more interested in changing history -- especially for the working men and women of our state and country.
I can think of no one better to represent the state of California as our next United States Senator.
I immigrated to the United States with my parents when I was 5 years old, & since then, I've strived to learn, serve, & better the country I call home.
Here's to #NationalImmigrantsDay & a reminder that immigrants come here seeking a better life & make our country stronger.
The Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary is one step closer to permanent protection. Thank you to the Northern Chumash Tribal Council and @RepCarbajal for their work to protect our coast. https://t.co/tKzGV1eA16
