We helped the City of Bellflower with their request for park security infrastructure by securing key federal funds. Last night, we presented them with $870,000 to promote public safety. We will help support local parks and recreation programs and make sure parks serve everyone.
Great news! We've been awarded $97 million for the Long Beach & LA Harbors to expand operations, a huge milestone in the decades-long battle for equitable funding allocation for our port complex. We have been fighting to ensure this critical funding gets redirected to our ports.
May is Foster Care Month, a time to uplift and honor children and youth in the foster care system. Let's do this by passing The Guaranteed Income for Foster Youth Act, which will financially support young adults exiting foster care. We must help our young people thrive.
Great news!
@longbeachcity
has seen its first decrease in homelessness in almost ten years, with youth homelessness cut in half. This is huge, but there's still more work to be done. We'll keep fighting to get federal housing dollars to Long Beach and the region. Well done LBC!
I joined
@RepRaskin
and
@RepAOC
in a letter to
@USGAO
urging a review of emergency medical procedures and major surgeries on individuals in ICE and CBP custody. We must ensure detainees receive appropriate medical care. Read more about our efforts here:

@RepAOC

@RepRobertGarcia
are urging
@USGAO
to undertake a review of emergency medical procedures and major surgeries performed on people held in ICE and CBP custody.
Too often, we’ve heard horrifying stories of migrants being forced into unnecessary surgeries or receiving urgent medical care too late.
That’s why we’re joining
@RepRaskin
&
@RepRobertGarcia
to ask
@USGAO
to investigate medical care provided to migrants in detention facilities.

Special thanks to
@RepRobertGarcia

@RepMaxwellFrost
for speaking on the importance of protecting the creative industry. In 2023, Congressman Garcia…
Tonight,
@RepRobertGarcia
voted NO on a motion to table the motion to vacate Speaker Johnson.
Last month - I asked him how he would vote on the motion to table. “I personally, in no scenario, would ever vote to keep Mike Johnson as speaker.”

We need an immediate ceasefire to release all the hostages and surge humanitarian aid into Gaza. President Biden is right to pause offensive weapons shipments and to demand accountability. Civilians in Rafah must be protected.
We know how valuable immigrants are to our economy and our communities.
Protecting them isn't just the morally right thing to do, it makes our nation stronger.
We just announced the results of the 2024 Homelessness Point in Time Count—and for the first time in nearly a decade, we’ve seen a reduction in homelessness in Long Beach.
