I’m proud to join Rep. Larson in introducing a resolution that would create a simple change in House rules that allows for a majority of Members to force the House to reconvene. It's past time for House Republicans to clock in and get back to work. (2/2)

…Our elders fought and bled for our Voting Rights. Your vote is your voice – and everyone should exercise their right to vote today. Make sure your vote-by-mail ballot is postmarked by today or dropped off at a drop box by 8pm PT! (2/2)

We'll provide updates and resources for constituents affected by the Republican government shutdown and discuss Alameda County's efforts to support access to nutrition programs like SNAP as uncertainty over November SNAP benefits persists.

If you are in need of food assistance during this shutdown please reach out to @accfb.bsky.social or call 211 to get connected with services in your area. (4/4)
