Congratulations to Rancho Cucamonga’s own Shrey Parikh on winning the 2026 Scripps National Spelling Bee! Your talent is astonishing, further demonstrated by you spelling 32 words correctly during the spell-off, a new Bee record. You make CA-28 proud!

From troubleshooting Disaster Home Loan applications to expediting time-sensitive U.S. travel visas, my casework team is ready to help. Here are just a couple of our recent success stories:

Gas is above $4 nationwide, groceries & utilities keep getting more expensive, and Trump's war with Iran is a total disaster. Instead of doing anything to fix this, Trump is focused on building a ballroom for billionaires & giving away taxpayer money to Jan 6 rioters who attacked police officers.

New reports shows inflation is at its highest in 3 years. And what are Trump’s priorities? Slapping his face on a $250 bill, just to boost his own ego. Every day he makes it more clear that he doesn't care about the American people, only himself.

Eid Mubarak! Wishing everyone who celebrates in the San Gabriel Valley and across the world a blessed Eid Al-Adha surrounded by family and friends.

The 1885 Rock Springs Chinese Massacre is one of the most horrific and shameful acts of anti-Asian violence in our nation’s history. And for too long, it's gone unacknowledged.

My introduction of the Harry Lew and Danny Chen Military Justice Reform Act is only one part of a bigger fight against military hazing. We need meaningful reforms so deaths like theirs never happen again.  Harry and Danny deserved better. Our servicemembers deserve better.

This past weekend, I was honored to join celebrations across CA-28 to commemorate those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Today, I have the privilege of introducing the Harry Lew and Danny Chen Military Justice Reform Act with @tokuda.house.gov, @repdangoldman.bsky.social, & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social.

Today, on Memorial Day, we remember the fallen heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. We extend our sincerest gratitude to all our service members – past, present and future. Thank you for your service.

Artistic Discovery was such a wonderful event this year! We had over 200 pieces of artwork submitted by talented student artists from across our district.

This Memorial Day Weekend, American families are facing higher costs because of one main reason: Trump.

As one of the first openly gay elected officials, Harvey Milk made strides for not only California, but our entire nation. Today, we honor him by celebrating diversity, equality, and recognizing the importance of LGBTQ+ rights. Every person deserves the freedom to live openly and proudly.

I'm relieved that the Republicans' partisan amendment to my Smithsonian American Women's History Museum Act has failed. I was proud to vote no because no President should have unilateral authority to decide the content and location of a museum.

With several wildfires burning around Southern California, the South Coast Air Quality Management District has extended a smoke advisory warning of unhealthy air through 10PM PT Thursday. Make sure to stay alert and protect your health: www.fire.ca.gov/incidents

Great meeting in DC with @repbradsherman.bsky.social, Rep. @georgewhitesides.bsky.social, Rep. @chu.house.gov, Sen. @schiff.senate.gov, and Sen. @padilla.senate.gov. California always steps up for this nation in moments of crisis. Now we need the President and Congress to step up for Angelenos.

My previously bipartisan bill, the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act, was created to ensure women receive their rightful recognition in our nation’s capital.

I stand with the individuals who are on hunger strike at Adelanto ICE Processing Center's Annex, Desert View.   These privately owned and operated detention centers have routinely denied detainees basic medical care and violate their constitutional rights. This pattern of abuse must end.

Over a year after the Los Angeles Fires, our communities are still waiting for critical federal disaster funding needed to recover & rebuild.

Today, I met with Shahnawaz Ahmad, who is being honored as one of APWA's Top Ten Public Works Leaders of the Year. As President of SA Associates in Arcadia, his dedication to improving the San Gabriel Valley's roads and water systems ensures our community continues to be safe and clean.

Today marks 5 years since the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, authored by CAPAC Chair @meng.house.gov and Senator @hirono.senate.gov, was signed into law. This law helped address the surge in anti-Asian violence during the pandemic, when 11,000 hate acts were reported between 2020-2021 alone.

Here we go again. This week, Republicans continue their disgusting attacks on trans youth. While doing absolutely nothing to solve the cost-of-living crisis. As the proud Aunt of my trans nephew, Republicans' “Don’t Say Trans” and Forced Outing bills are personal to my family.

Today, the House passed my and Rep. Nathaniel Moran's Foster Youth Postsecondary Education Access and Success Act!

As we celebrate 61 years since Head Start was founded, we recognize the early childhood education and services the program provides to help children and families succeed.

Asian & Pacific Islander communities cannot be left behind in our fight against HIV & AIDS. Our members are proud to fight alongside @capac.house.gov in defense of critical funding for HIV testing, prevention, and treatment programs that reach API communities where they are.

I am horrified to hear about the deadly shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. My heart is with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Muslim community. I fully condemn Islamophobia in all its forms. Everyone should be able to practice their beliefs without fear.

Today would have been the 71st birthday of Vincent Chin, who was brutally murdered 43 years ago simply for being Asian. We honor his life by recognizing today as AAPI Day Against Bullying & Hate, standing against discrimination, & fighting for a future free from anti-Asian hate.

Trump is funneling nearly $2 billion taxpayer dollars into a slush fund for his inner-circle. He is taking money out of your wallet and giving it to his criminal cronies with ZERO transparency.

Last month, SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, removing critical protections against discriminatory voting practices based on race or language. Now, we are seeing states like Alabama intentionally marginalizing Black voters. This is an attack on our democracy.

I’ve said it before, and I will continue to say it: Mifepristone is safe, effective, and access to it is a right. While the recent SCOTUS order is a victory, it’s temporary. And I will not stop fighting until access is fully restored.

Trump’s reckless war in Iran has cost taxpayers at least $29 billion. He was being honest when he said "I don't think about Americans” financial situation.

Taiwan was excluded from the 14th WTO Ministerial Conference, forced to participate under official visas that list it as a "Province of China," or sit out of the conference they have full and equal participation in. The implication that Taiwan is not a WTO member in its own right is unacceptable.

On July 9, FEMA's Individuals and Households Program (IHP) for the Eaton and Palisades Fires will expire. This is a critical lifeline that has already provided $157 million in federal assistance to our community.

This past weekend I had the honor of announcing the CA-28 winners of the 17th Annual Artistic Discovery Competition. Our 1st place winner Jasmine Ung's artwork, "Marching for Justice & Equality," will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol.

🚨BREAKING: This stay has been extended until Thursday at 5 PM. As we continue the watch for updates, we hope you will stay informed and engaged with us. This fight is far from over.

Gas prices in America are up more than 50% since the Iran War started. Californians are paying $6.16 a gallon. Instead of doing anything about it, Trump is asking for $1 billion taxpayer dollars to fund his luxury ballroom. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

🚨Today is the final day of #SCOTUS' stay in Louisiana v. FDA. As we watch for updates, catch up on this case and its implications for medication abortion access 👇

Happy Mother’s Day! Today we honor the mothers, grandmothers, and caregivers who shape our families and communities with strength and compassion. Your impact is immeasurable, and I will continue working to ensure moms everywhere have the support they need to succeed.

Our AANHPI community faces some of the lowest rates of mental health service utilization of any racial or ethnic group in the country.

In 1960, the FDA approved “the pill”, marking a significant milestone in reproductive health and freedom. Now, 66 years later, rights to contraception are under attack. Abortion care is health care, and being able to make health care decisions about your own body is a fundamental right.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. As the only psychologist in Congress, I will continue to fight for affordable and accessible mental health care. If you or someone you know is struggling, don't be afraid to ask for help. www.chhs.ca.gov/suicide-prev...

As #SmallBusinessWeek comes to an end, we should be celebrating the entrepreneurs and local businesses that strengthen our communities.

Last year, I pressed Trump's Social Security Administration on why they removed a bunch of customer service performance metrics from their website. Without this transparency, SSA is only continuing to underperform and harm the tens of millions of Americans who rely on them.

To all of our dedicated public servants: you are the backbone of the services we depend on, and we are grateful for your work to keep our food safe, our Veterans cared for, and our communities running.

Today, I joined @friedman.house.gov and Congressman Lou Correa to say NO to Trump’s authoritarian crackdown on our constitutional right to free speech.

Today marks 144 years since the Chinese Exclusion Act enshrined discrimination into the law, denying Chinese immigrants the right to become citizens. My own grandfather was considered a 2nd class citizen because of this xenophobic legislation.

During National Nurses Week, let us show our appreciation for the wonderful nurses who keep CA-28 safe and healthy! Your work is invaluable in providing quality care, and I will always push for more resources to support the nursing profession and fight against health care cuts.

Every year, I am reminded of the extraordinary impact women have in shaping our communities. The annual Women of the Year Awards Ceremony is among the highlights of my year. I’m so proud of these role models and am honored to recognize them.

As a member of @reprocaucus.bsky.social, I’m proud to stand with 250+ Democrats to defend access to mifepristone.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the brilliant educators of CA-28 and across the country!
