Glenn Medical Center, the only hospital in Glenn County, closed last year due to bureaucratic red tape — forcing families to travel miles to get care.
Now, a new bipartisan law that I wrote with the late-Rep. LaMalfa is fixing Glenn's federal status and creating a pathway to reopening its doors.

When the administration comes after members of the House and Senate, our response should be: screw you, we’re not backing down.
In the face of a weaponized government trying to intimidate public servants for simply stating the law, we must fight back.
And give no quarter.

$600,000,000 slashed from public health funding in four blue states, the vast majority targeting California.
These cuts will hurt vital efforts to prevent the spread of disease.
It's dangerous, and it's deliberate. The Trump administration's targeting of blue states is illegal and must end.
