It’s official! I’ve been sworn in as a Member of Congress. Let’s get to work for California's 12th Congressional District.

This week marked 60 years of Medicare and Medicaid. Republicans are attempting to defund and dismantle these vital programs, attacking our entire health care ecosystem, shutting down hospitals, cutting the salaries of our already underpaid health care workers, and leaving

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with @AAPD today to talk about navigating life and lawmaking as a disabled woman. Keep fighting the good fight, and never stop showing up authentically in every space you step into.

This past weekend, I joined the congregation at City of Refuge in Oakland and celebrated the 70th birthday of Bishop Flunder. In a time when we need to lean on each other and support each other the most - it was incredibly healing and powerful to join for worship.

While Republicans are trying to dismantle every last protection our community has won, we will rise and fight back together — in our classrooms, in our workplaces, in our communities, and in Congress.

Today we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the ADA!. As the first congenitally blind member of Congress, I am here to bring disability voices with me to the policy making table.

Devastating news that five @PPFA locations in Northern California will close as a result of Republicans' cruel cruel budget bill. Planned Parenthood provides basic health exams, cancer screenings, vaccinations, and birth control. It is a lifeline for basic care. Hands Off.

Last week, under the cover of night, Republicans passed a bill to pull back money that Congress ALREADY approved and Trump had already signed into law. I voted hell NO. In particular -- this recessions bill pulled back money for public broadcasting. In our district, we depend

Earlier this week I led debate for the first time! . As a member of @OversightDems, I led my colleagues in debate on a number of bills pertaining to economic development, public safety regulations, and the Postal Service.
