A great visit to see the new kitchen at the Paso Robles Youth Arts Center’s culinary program and meet some of the young people that will benefit from this project. So nice to see programs that invest in our next generation of leaders and thinkers.

Recently met with a constituent who is working to connect college students to our democratic process. These efforts are important, and I look forward to continuing my work to ensure that young people stay connected to our communities and democracy.

Always good to meet with our local Cattleman’s Association, the largest one in California, to discuss the issues confronting our beef producers, including this administration’s plan to increase Argentinian beef imports. So proud to represent and fight for all of our many communities in CA-19.

Great to meet with local advocates to discuss ways to advance sustainable transportation in the San Jose area. Look forward to our work together to finding ways to make commuting in CA-19 easier, greener, and more affordable.

Keeping our government working for the American people is a bipartisan issue. That’s why I co-authored the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act so shutdowns are a thing of the past. Now more than ever, we need bipartisan negotiations to reopen the government and lower costs for working families.

Recently met with a constituent to discuss the needs of educators in California's 19th Congressional District. After this Administration's attempts to dismantle the Department of Education, we must stand together to ensure that our students have the support they need for success.

Always good to meet with local farmers to hear about the challenges that they face from food safety to tariffs to labor issues and more. Even better when we work together to find solutions to help them continue their work as the best producers in the world to ensure our food security.

A constituent reached out to me because the IRS was withholding his passport. The constituent believed that an error had been made, so I reached out to the IRS and successfully had it reversed, granting him his passport. If you are having trouble with a federal agency, I am here to help.

Honored to meet with the President of Kazakhstan as we further our relationships with countries in Central Asia. Situated between China and Russia, these countries are strategically important and why we should continue to develop our trade relations, including repealing the Jackson-Vanik Amendment.

Great to meet with local restaurant owners to discuss the impacts of this Administration’s policies on businesses. I’ll continue to work in Congress to lower costs for small businesses in California’s 19th Congressional District and across the country.

Always great to meet with local marine scientists and learn about their research initiatives. Marine science is a big part of our CA-19 community, so I am proud to support their work and fight to protect federal funding for marine and scientific research in CA-19 and beyond.

Always good to visit Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley. As more and more people are rely on our food banks to put food on the table, I'll continue to fight at the federal level to get Republican leadership back to the negotiating table to find a bipartisan path to open up the government.

My Prevent Government Shutdowns Act would bring Democrats and Republicans together to guarantee essential federal services for working families. In the meantime, Republican leadership must come to the negotiating table to protect healthcare, restore SNAP, and lower costs for working families.

Great to get together with local leaders to fight against this administration’s proposal to extract oil off the shores of the United States, including the central coast of California. We’ll always fight to protect the beauty and bounty of our home.

Our local businesses are vital to our CA-19 culture and economy. This week, I had the opportunity to meet with a local cattle ranch owner and harvester and discuss how Congress can work with and for our ranchers, not against them.

This Administration says that all options are on the table for offshore drilling along our coasts. At a recent press conference we stood together shoulder-to-shoulder ready and willing to fight back so that we can protect the environment and economy of our Central Coast.

Glad I got the opportunity to connect with a local rancher to hear about ways Congress can help our ranchers and producers. Our cattlemen are essential components of our CA-19 economy, and I am committed to advocating for them through my work in D.C.

Recent reports of the Administration’s leasing plans for offshore drilling would pierce our protections for our oceans. Together, we must stand together to stand against this Administration as we continue to preserve the protections for our environment, economy, and communities on the Central Coast.

I am proud to support our small businesses through my work in Congress. I was fortunate to meet the owners of a local Italian restaurant. Thank you to our small business owners for creating jobs, serving people, and being the heartbeat of our community.

Working families are having to make hard choices because of this government shutdown. I continue to push the Administration to use the contingency fund for SNAP in November, and call on Speaker Johnson to find a bipartisan path forward to reopen the government, protect healthcare, and reduce prices.
