Superstar leadership. Thanks Rep. Simon. I look forward to working together.
Proud to be able to see my friend @richlyons, the @UCBerkeley Chancellor today. Last week, I toured campus and got to see firsthand the lifesaving work labs are doing with NIH funds. I told him we're going to fight to protect all UC researchers and labs from any cuts. Go Bears!
