The Trump administration’s DOT has canceled bike and pedestrian projects nationwide, eliminating investments that make our communities safer and healthier. I led my colleagues in demanding these projects be reinstated so we can keep building safer streets for everyone.

Fire Station 5 stands as a symbol of Santa Rosa’s resilience after the Tubbs Fire. I’m proud to have secured $33 million in federal funding and worked to ensure the city had the flexibility to rebuild this station in a safer, more effective location.

This American Education Week, I’m proud to honor the public schools and educators who shape our nation's future. As someone who started my own journey in public schools, community colleges, and Chico State, I know firsthand how life-changing a strong public education can be.

Great to stop by Nimbus Arts’ 20th Anniversary Open House in St. Helena. For two decades, Nimbus has been a creative hub that brings our community together and expands access to the arts for people of all ages.

Great to meet with the owner of Kabayan Filipino Market in Rohnert Park today. Small businesses like theirs enrich our community every day, and I’m committed to fighting for policies that protect our local entrepreneurs and keep our community strong.

As an avid cyclist, I know the importance of safe streets. On World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, we remember those taken too soon and recommit to the work ahead: stronger bike and pedestrian infrastructure, safer speeds, and real action to prevent future tragedies. #WDoR2025

Proud to join the Roseland community yesterday as we broke ground on the new Roseland Library and Fire Station #8.

The Trump administration is choosing to starve Americans. With the government reopened, full SNAP benefits should be restored immediately. Instead, they’re forcing millions to reapply even though recipients already recertify every year.

Honored to stand with the North Bay Labor Council yesterday. Labor movements built the middle class, and I’ll keep fighting in Congress to protect good-paying jobs and push back against the Trump administration’s attacks on workers.

Proud to join the Santa Rosa Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs to honor our veterans. My office works every day to help local veterans access the VA care and benefits they deserve, and I’ll keep fighting for legislation like the PACT Act and COMPACT Act to support those in crisis. Thank you to all who served

Three years ago, I proudly voted to pass the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a historic investment in America’s future. Since then, it’s delivered billions for California’s roads, bridges, transit, broadband, clean water, wildfire prevention, and clean energy.

Honored to recognize three long-time Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Helena and Calistoga board members Bob Torres, Marianna Hawkins, and Sean Maher for their years of service to building incredible opportunities for young people.

Due to the President’s trade and tariff policies, Californians are paying an average of $1,112 more this year. That’s a far cry from his promise to “bring down prices on day one.”

Congressional Republicans have been saying they have an alternative health care plan for fifteen years and have not delivered. The government may be reopened, but families are now weeks away from paying higher premiums that could force millions to choose between their coverage and basic necessities.

I voted no on the federal funding bill because it’s a bad deal for the American people. It does nothing to fix the Republican health care crisis and leaves hardworking families behind.

Latino voices need to be heard and their stories need to be shared, especially in this moment where their communities are under attack. I was proud to host Connecting Latino Voices with @replindasanchez.bsky.social to ensure those voices have a platform to be heard.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva was sworn in yesterday and signed her name to the petition to release the Epstein files. It’s important this issue be resolved and the truth comes out. abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep...

The government funding bill that just passed the House is a failure for the American people. Read my full statement.

Republican leadership snuck a $500,000 payout for themselves into the funding bill, effectively rewarding senators who were investigated for their role in January 6. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Thank you to Jazmin Garcia, the host of radio show NextGen Talks on @kdrtfm.bsky.social, for being on our panel for Connecting Latino Voices. Hear from her about what inspires her to share her voice and to be the voice for her community.

Thank you to the Petaluma community for coming out to the Veterans Day parade to honor those who have served our country. To all our veterans and their families — thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Thank you to President Matt Pulsipher and Chairwoman Toni Parkhurst of the Vacaville Chamber of Commerce for a great discussion about the Chamber’s vision and how we can keep Vacaville’s economy strong. Proud to support our local business community and the people who keep it thriving.

Today we honor the brave men and women who have served our nation. As a veteran, I know the sacrifices made to protect our country and defend our values. Supporting our veterans doesn’t end when they take off the uniform. It’s a lifelong commitment.

I want a solution to this government shutdown as soon as possible, but the new bill in the Senate just isn’t good public policy and doesn’t help the Americans we’ve been fighting for. This is a bad deal.

The Senate’s bill is a bad deal for the American people. Read my full statement below.

Today we celebrate 250 years of the United States Marine Corps — a proud legacy of service and commitment to defending our nation. The Marines truly embody the best of America’s fighting spirit. Semper Fi.

Appreciated the opportunity to meet with Solano County Supervisor Wanda Williams and new Vacaville City Manager Savita Chaudhary to talk about the issues that matter most to our community — from affordable housing and development to supporting veterans and local families.

It’s Nurse Practitioner Week! I’m deeply grateful to all the Nurse Practitioners who keep our communities healthy and strong. My wife, Jan, is a Nurse Practitioner—and I see firsthand the compassion and dedication she brings to her patients every day.

Had a great visit with students at Vacaville High School today! Their curiosity and thoughtful questions about government give me so much hope for the future of our country.

A Secretary of Health and Human Services who rejects mainstream science is a risk to public health. If RFK Jr. wants to make America healthy again, he needs to resign.

It’s unacceptable that the Supreme Court is even considering revisiting marriage equality. The right to marry the person you love is fundamental, and Americans are moving forward, not backward. apnews.com/article/supr...

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has led the charge against the Trump administration’s blatant illegal actions. And the work he does benefits ALL Americans – not just Democrats or Republicans.

When local credit unions succeed, our communities succeed. Redwood Credit Union’s 75 years of service show what “people helping people” really means — from supporting local nonprofits to helping families afford their first home.

Speaker Johnson is guilty of public policy malpractice. You need to work for ALL American people, not against them. Bring your Republicans back to Washington and work with Democrats to end this shutdown. Full stop.

Make no mistake, nobody in America should be denied access to healthcare or be forced into bankruptcy because of their medical bills. We’re the richest country in the world and we feed the rest of the world – no child should go to school or to bed hungry.

There are countless things we could be doing during this shutdown – we can still vote, still hold hearings, and still pass legislation during a shutdown. If for no other reason, reconvene the House so that we can join Marjorie Taylor Greene in reading the Epstein files on the floor!

Jed was a dear friend whose presence filled every room. He was larger than life in stature and spirit. His vision and hard work helped put Lake County’s vineyards on the map. I’m grateful to have known him and to honor his memory. www.sfchronicle.com/food/wine/ar...

Nancy Pelosi is the most successful speaker in our nation's history. I’ll always be proud to have served alongside her. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

It’s day 37 of the government shutdown and Republicans are still nowhere to be found. Democrats are here, ready to end this crisis, reopen the government, protect your health care, ensure federal employees are paid, and put food back on the table. Speaker Johnson needs to end Republicans’ vacation.

Today we honor the lives lost in the tragic shooting at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs eight years ago—the deadliest mass shooting in Texas history and at any American place of worship. We will never forget them as we continue working toward a future free from gun violence.

President Trump is interfering in the California election on Prop 50 by trying to nullify mail-in ballots despite him actively working with states to redistrict and cut out Democratic votes from Republican-led states. This president only cares about representation if it benefits Republicans.

My team and I are proud to serve #CA04! So far this year, we’ve closed 1,853 cases for constituents and recouped over $19 million in money owed to Fourth District residents. If you’re in need of help navigating a federal agency, please call my nearest office.

This president is blatantly breaking the law, AGAIN! After a judge ruled that the administration must pay out SNAP benefits from the contingency funds, they are yanking the promise they made YESTERDAY to pay out benefits. Time and time again, this president chooses to make AMERICANS SUFFER.

Clean energy tax credits created hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in renewable energy in the United States. That’s why Democrats are working to bring those tax credits back after the Republicans passed their Big, Ugly Law.

Today is election day in California! You can find your polling place at the link below! www.sos.ca.gov/elections/po...

I'm headed back to Washington to work for the American people can get the government reopened. Speaker Johnson, even the Senate Republican leadership says you need to call your people back from vacation. It's time you get to work.

Members of my staff will be hosting office hours in Rohnert Park this Wednesday, November 5 at the Rohnert Park People's Service Center. Sit down with members of my office and the city's office to discuss issues impacting you and our community.

Tomorrow is election day in California! Your voice matters, and every vote makes a difference. You can find your polling place at the link below! www.sos.ca.gov/elections/po...

The Trump administration’s illegal halt of federal food assistance will hurt more than 144,000 people in our communities who rely on SNAP benefits. Food should never be weaponized — not in war, and not to influence a federal government shutdown.

One mom’s ACA plan for herself and her two kids will double in cost — nearly her entire yearly income — if tax credits aren’t renewed. Families shouldn’t have to choose between health and financial survival.
