As we celebrate our nation’s independence, I’m reminded of all those who have bravely fought for our freedoms. I am proud to represent a district that values democracy, opportunity, and coming together to build a better future. Wishing everyone across CA-27 a happy and safe.

Why I voted against the budget reconciliation bill that will slash support for Medicaid and local hospitals while raising our national debt by trillions:

Listening to @RepJeffries walk through the many harms this budget reconciliation bill would cause to young people, working families, veterans, and seniors across the country. As we reach hour 7 of personal, heartbreaking stories from Americans who have written to our caucus to

Following reports of the overturned bus in Lancaster, I reached out to the California Highway Patrol and have been in touch. I’m thinking of the everyone involved in this terrible accident, and am sending my thoughts to the families and children being treated.

After the Rules Committee rejected my amendment to protect Medicaid, I proposed blocking cuts to Medicaid and SNAP on the House floor. Extreme Republicans in the House blocked it yet again, but I’m keep fighting for my constituents who rely on these programs to receive health

I stood against the budget bill on the House steps this morning because it would take health care and food assistance from tens of thousands of people right here in CA-27 — and raise costs for working families. This bill would hurt the very people I was elected to serve.

On the House steps right now, standing against this inhumane budget bill that would rip health care away from at least 17 million Americans.

I submitted an amendment to the budget that would protect patients and local health care providers that rely on Medicaid to receive, and provide, health care. My amendment would stop this bill’s Medicaid cuts from taking effect unless the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

More than ⅓ of Californians are at risk of losing access to free or low-cost health coverage under the Budget Bill the Senate just passed – including kids, pregnant women, seniors, and people with disabilities. The proposed Medicaid cuts would mean higher out-of-pocket costs.

Hospitals in our district aren’t immune to what has just passed in the Senate’s Budget Bill. According to the AHA, the bill would strip away funds that help keep local hospitals staffed, equipped, and open. Our communities deserve better.

The Senate’s Budget Bill that just passed will cut food aid for every CalFresh recipient in California – over 5.5 million people. Families across the country will be left struggling to afford groceries, as costs continue to rise. I’m fighting back, and I hope you’ll join me.

Senate Republicans just moved one step closer to cutting health care for millions while ballooning the national debt. Their bill — which will come back to the House if it passes — will gut Medicaid and SNAP, kill millions of jobs, shutter our local hospitals, reduce American.
