Today, I am so thrilled to join my colleagues around the country to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Pell grant. The Pell grant is essential to fulfilling our Nation's promise of higher education by ensuring low-income students have…

As a Member of the Ways and Means Committee, I want to draw attention to something we worked on as an aspect of the American Rescue Plan that made a considerable impact on the lives of working Americans.

We cannot let America be like this. Children shouldn't be texting their family good-bye as they lay barricaded behind desks. Parents shouldn't dread having to drop a child off at school, wondering if this is a death sentence. And a…

It is unconscionable that Americans pay the highest prices in the world for the exact same drugs.

the U.S. is the only country among 41 nations that does not mandate any paid leave for new parents

California's example shows that these claims are incorrect.

I introduced the country's first heat stress related protections standards in California.

It is clear that we need enforceable Federal regulations to ensure bad actors are not allowed to exploit hard-working laborers.

I introduced a bill that addresses this issue. It is H.R. 2193, the Asuncion Valdivia Heat Illness and Fatality Prevention Act.

I am feeling the distress that some small businesses are experiencing in getting shut out of COVID EIDL funding due to agency errors or delays outside of their control.

I introduced legislation to make this program one of SBA's core lending program which the House passed last year.

I strongly support the president's budget for 2023, which includes a $1.5 billion in lending authority.

Yes, God makes no mistakes and that means that transgender kids are not a mistake and deserve our support to be who they are.

When they don't comply with the law, the impact is greatest on people for whom even a small copay for birth control is too great a barrier between them and the care that they need.

I would like to thank you for working with the President to once again deliver a budget request free from the harmful and discriminatory Hyde Amendment.

So we are going to double down on this to make sure that we both inform providers of their responsibility and make sure that we hunt down those who are violating the rights of Americans to access the services they are entitled to under law.

The budget finally invests $400 million for this program, which is the highest funding in the history of this program.

I was proud to join Representative Lois Frankel in sending you a letter requesting that your agency, along with Treasury and the Department of Labor enhance your enforcement actions and improve public awareness around the ACA's…

One proposal I have long been working towards would be to lift the loan cap that Community Advantage lenders could issue from $250,000 to $350,000.

I have long been a proponent of the Community Advantage program which aims to serve many of the same underserved and micro businesses.

I am fortunate to represent California's most prolific research institution, the California Institute of Technology, Caltech.

While President Biden rescinded this ban on his first day in office, we must ensure that no President has the power to create a ban like this, based solely on religion and xenophobia, ever again.

I am proud that the House passed my bill, along with Representatives Lofgren, Carson, Omar, and Beyer, the NO BAN Act, which repeals all iterations of the Muslim ban and ensures that no future President can unilaterally ban an entire group…

As Chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, or CAPAC, I have spent many years advocating for and defending the civil rights of the entirety of the Asian American and Pacific Islander, or AAPI, community.

The Muslim ban wasn't just cruel for its personal impact on families, it was also dangerous in the way it promoted fear of Muslims, which we know leads to more violence.
