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.

Why is why I’ve signed onto a letter to call on Speaker Mike Johnson to hold a vote on extending the ACA tax credits.
November 20, 2025 at 9:48 PM
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.

This incredible event showcased our community’s deep appreciation for the brave men and women, here in the Valley and across the nation, who have served our country. We can never thank them enough for their sacrifice and dedication.

As we toured the facility and visited Papa Mike’s Café, we talked about the critical role they play in addressing hunger and the challenges they face as the Administration continues to make reckless back-and-forth decisions on SNAP funding.
November 11, 2025 at 5:00 AM
We owe them our deepest gratitude and must always honor the sacrifices they made.

Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps!

For 250 years, the brave men and women of the Marine Corps have courageously and selflessly served our nation.

Today, we honor their service, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to protecting our freedoms.

Our Valley heroes, and those across our nation, deserve our utmost respect and care. Let us remember their service and the sacrifices they have made for us all.

That’s why I joined forces with Central California Food Bank and local Valley leaders to sound the alarm on the devastating impact of the Trump Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s decision to withhold November SNAP funding during the ongoing government shutdown.

During the government shutdown, my offices remain open and ready to serve the people of California’s 21st Congressional District.

Team Costa stands ready to assist you however we can.

That’s why, along with 214 of my Democratic colleagues, I’m urging the Trump Administration to use the USDA’s authority to ensure families receive their SNAP benefits this November.

No American should have to worry about putting food on the table — the Administration must act immediately.

This impacts our farmers, families, and entire communities. 
 
That’s why, along with my colleagues, I sent a letter to Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Thune urging them to address these concerns and protect rural America from skyrocketing health care costs.

Alongside my Democratic colleagues, I’m fighting to protect affordable healthcare for families in the Valley and across the nation.
October 8, 2025 at 6:29 PM
That’s why I co-sponsored the Bipartisan Premium Tax Credit Extension Act, to prevent tax hikes and keep health care affordable and accessible for Valley families and communities across our nation.
October 7, 2025 at 12:00 AM
This week, I joined Police Chief Mindy Casto at the California Armenian Home for Coffee with a Cop.

Events like this provide our community with the opportunity to connect directly with local law enforcement, ask questions, and strengthen the partnerships that help keep our neighborhoods safe.
October 6, 2025 at 2:00 AM
Yesterday, I joined the Fresno Chamber of Commerce to share a legislative update.

We discussed the pressing issues impacting our community and how, by working together, we can continue to support our Valley’s families and help local businesses thrive.
October 5, 2025 at 12:00 AM
That’s why I was honored to celebrate the grand opening of the CRMC Burnett Extended Care Center. This vital investment brings quality care closer to home, expands access to new technologies and treatments, and creates opportunities to train the next generation of providers.

This shutdown forces hundreds of thousands of federal employees to be furloughed or work without pay. If hardworking Americans are expected to make these sacrifices, Members of Congress should not be treated any differently.
October 1, 2025 at 6:01 PM
In my district alone, more than 65,000 people could lose their affordable healthcare coverage. This is just wrong, and it’s why I’m standing up for the people of our Valley.
September 30, 2025 at 9:59 PM
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) Visalia Area serves to do just that. It was great touring their facility and learning more about how they are helping keep our community safe.
September 29, 2025 at 3:01 PM
That’s why I met with leaders from the veteran's community throughout Tulare County, to provide a legislative update and show how I’m fighting for them in D.C.
