I applaud the investments in our servicemembers and materiel, ranging from substantial pay raises to acquisition reform.

Congress has a vital role in securing America’s national security when writing the NDAA.

The public deserves answers on how this happened, and I intend to get them.

Seeing the Library of Congress erase whole sections of the Constitution was deeply alarming.

No one should ever be subjected to this cruelty, let alone those who came here seeking freedom and safety.

What the American government did to Andry and others is a stain on the moral fabric of our nation.

At a moment when young Americans feel that the American dream is out of reach, this action only adds to feeling that the deck is stacked against them.

Secretary Linda McMahon and the Trump Administration are systemically hacking away at the pathways to a college degree on this country.

UC Riverside was the first school in the UC system to be recognized as a Hispanic Serving Institution; and in 2018, UCR was recognized as an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution.

If you are willing to raise your right hand, put on the uniform, and defend this country, you should have a clear path to citizenship.

Instead of cowardly attacking middle-class jobs here in California, Trump needs to cancel the cuts, lower the costs, save healthcare.

Trump needs to reopen the government and fix the healthcare crisis the GOP created.

Trump’s campaign of political retribution continues, this time canceling grants which will halt projects that boost clean energy production.

The White House belongs to the people, and the solemn honor of having your name has been reserved for historic public servants – not to billion-dollar donors.

I will not stand by while we put the name of the highest bidder on one of the most iconic symbols of the United States.

While Americans across the nation are going without pay because Republicans have chosen to shut down the government instead of fixing their healthcare crisis, President Trump is full steam ahead on the construction of his $200…

Our message today to President Trump is simple; stop using hunger as a weapon.

If America is to stay a free and prosperous nation, it is imperative that Congress returns to the model of making investments in our common defense without partisanship or ideological agenda.

This final version of the NDAA fails to adequately address the needs of servicemembers transitioning from active duty, veterans affected by the current housing crisis and experiencing homelessness, veterans who have suffered toxic exposure…

Therefore, I voted NO on the FY26 NDAA.

During a time when everything is more expensive, corporations are cashing in subscription models that rely on a consumer forgetting to cancel a free trial.

Qualified servicemembers were hunted down and forced to leave the military at the direction of our government.

At a time when good news from Washington feels rare, this is real progress for our communities.

This federal funding is coming back to Riverside County to strengthen public safety, modernize water systems, improve mobility, and expand opportunity.

I am committed to making life better for people across the Inland Empire in tangible ways.
