Proudly Representing California's 12th Congressional District.
It was great to sit down with members of the community at my Coffee with your Congresswoman event. Hearing from neighbors like Philip guides my work in Washington and helps me to center our communities' deepest needs.

ICE is a damaging force in our communities. Oversight Dems and @replsimon.bsky.social will continue to investigate abuses carried out by DHS agents wherever they occur. They will be brought to justice.

This week, House and Senate Democrats held a hearing where we listened to devastating testimony from American citizens brutalized by ICE.
As Members of Congress, we must use every oversight & legislative tool available to dismantle abusive enforcement practices and rein in ICE’s unchecked power.

The East Bay has made clear at the Alameda County and city level that we will hold the line against a violent ICE force and support our immigrant communities – I will continue to hold the line and our values with my votes in Congress.

I’m proud to announce I secured over $1 million in Community Project Funding for research equipment at Samuel Merritt University’s new Downtown Oakland campus.

The administration terminated $2 billion in funding for addiction and mental health programs nationwide, including 13 grants in CA12.
I contacted Secretary Kennedy demanding the administration reinstate the funds.
The next day the funds were reinstated, including every single grant in my district.

We must all stand in solidarity and demand the immediate release of these journalists. Donald Trump told us he would put troops on our streets, arrest journalists, and violate the Constitution. He is doing exactly that. And I will continue to fight it with everything I have.

My 3rd bill passed the House last week! I spoke on the House Floor in support of my bill, the Main Street Parity Act - which will modernize the law to ensure small businesses in special purpose properties (like bowling alleys, car washes, & funeral centers) are subject to EQUAL financing standards.

My colleague and sister, @repilhan.bsky.social was attacked last night while doing what she has always done: standing with her people. Ilhan has served Minnesota through death threats, the President’s attacks, and a federal occupation of her city. She shows up. She tells the truth.

Kristi Noem has led a culture of violence, government abuse, & terror at DHS - it is a danger to our nation and American citizens.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

Yesterday, I voted YES on another War Powers Resolution to stop President Trump's illegal actions in Venezuela.
All but 2 Republicans voted against the War Powers Resolution -- betraying their constitutional duties and refusing to hold the President accountable.
