As I’ve said before, tariffs are a tax on American consumers and producers.
They haven’t just disappeared, they’ve shown up in our shopping carts. And with the holiday season now here, Valley families will feel it in rising grocery bills.

Nearly 30% of households in my district rely on SNAP to help put food on the table. But when the One Big Beautiful Bill became law, it enacted over $187 billion in cuts over the next 10 years.

22,000 people in my district will face skyrocketing healthcare costs if the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits are not extended. This would force hardworking families to choose between healthcare or other basic needs.

The Affordable Care Act premium tax credits are set to expire at the end of this year, just one month away, which will force 22,000 people in my district to face skyrocketing costs.
It is critical that Congress address this not just with promises, but with legislative action.

Over the weekend, I had the honor, once again this year, of presenting medals to eight local veterans. From the Korean War to the Vietnam War, these brave men and women answered the call to serve and defend our freedoms.

No family in my district or across the nation deserves to have their food access stripped away because of the Administration’s reckless back-and-forth decisions, which is what the federal appeals court ruled today.

Today’s court order to fully fund Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in November reinforces what I’ve said for weeks: in the richest country in the world, it is outrageous that our President would allow millions of Americans to go hungry.

President Trump’s recent social media post regarding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding defies court orders and hurts Americans who rely on this lifeline to put food on the table. It’s wrong and unacceptable.

Open Enrollment season is officially underway.
My colleagues across the aisle refuse to come to the table and extend critical tax credits. If these tax credits are not extended, Valley families and communities could see their insurance plans impacted.

The Administration has the ability to protect SNAP for November. Yet, they’re choosing to let more than 42 million Americans go without this vital assistance — including nearly 30% of households in my district who rely on this essential program.
