Each #VeteransDay reminds us that service doesn’t end when we hang up the uniform. To all those who have served, thank you for bringing your valor and commitment back to your communities. 🇺🇸

Happy 250th birthday to my #DevilDogs! From Tripoli to Belleau Woods, Montezuma, Vietnam and Fallujah, the #MarineCorps legacy stands as strong and proud as it did that first day in Tun Tavern. Oorah, Brothers & Sisters! 🇺🇸

#VeteransDay celebrations are in full swing! I joined the #SanFernando Chamber’s coffee to honor #veterans, like Adrian Rodriguez, a Navy veteran now serving his community as the owner of The Film Crew! Then over to KP SoCal to celebrate veterans continuing to serve, this time in #healthcare spaces.

#CalFresh cards are being loaded as of THIS MORNING! 🍓 Yesterday, a judge ruled the federal administration must IMMEDIATELY restore full #SNAP benefits to families. The administration is appealing the decision yet again! 😡 But California has your back, & we’ll keep fighting for you. 💪🏽

RAMP LA brings community-based reentry & mentorship programs to #MissionHills. By empowering justice impacted youth through housing, education, apprenticeships in trades with livable wages and therapeutic support, they are advancing decarceration through community integration.

It was great connecting with neighbors at #CanogaPark’s Neighborhood Watch to discuss the challenges our middle class families are facing from loss of assistance & childcare costs to public safety and homeownership. Together, we’re formulating real solutions for #SD20 families.

Nothing pairs better than community, policy ideas, & warm bagels! 🥯💬 Thank you to everyone who joined me in #Burbank, and our special guest Policy Analyst Kimberly. We’re taking your ideas back to Sacramento! Together, we’re building a stronger #SD20 through policy that meets our direct needs. 💪

CA sued the federal administration to protect the 5.5 million of us on #CalFresh, inc 146,977 in #Burbank & #SanFernandoValley. AND WE WON! 🙌🏽 Two judges ruled they must fund #SNAP, despite the #shutdown. The state has also stepped in with $80M to support #foodbanks 🥗 www.lafoodbank.org or 2-1-1.

No tricks here! Just treats and tail wags! 🐶🍬 #TeamMenjivar and I had a fang-tastic time joining Halloween events all across #SD20. Big thank you to everyone who made this spooky season full of smiles and community spirit! 🎃🧡 #Pacoima #CanogaPark #Winnetka #Sylmar #Arleta

When our daughter was born, I had to sign a document saying I was giving up my baby girl so my wife Laura & I could re-adopt her back as her legal parents. No family should endure that. That’s why I'm asking Gov. Newsom to sign Sen. @carolinemenjivar.bsky.social’s #SB450. #SD24
