Reaching an agreement on permitting reform is an important and long-overdue first step toward fixing a broken process that has held back our ability to build things again in the Central Valley and across the country. Read my full statement.⬇️

Congressman Adam Gray (CA-13) issued the following statement after Senate leaders announced the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026:

A thoughtful piece from my colleague Rep. George Whitesides who brings a unique perspective to the debate over AI after serving as NASA’s Chief of Staff and spending much of his career in aerospace.

AI has enormous potential, but moving fast shouldn’t mean ignoring serious risks. George makes a compelling case for borrowing a lesson from aerospace: when the stakes are high, taking the time to understand the risks and put the right safeguards in place is just common sense.

Worth a read.

The best thing AI companies can do right now? Stand down for 30 days.

For years, Madera has been working to upgrade its sewer system and keep up with the needs of a growing community.

Now, $2 million in federal funding is on the way to help complete the final section of the Avenue 13 sewer main, from Granada Avenue to Highway 99.

Infrastructure projects like this help keep the Valley moving forward.

Families in Mendota with deep ties to El Salvador are facing real uncertainty about what comes next.

We heard directly from Mayor Martinez about the uncertainty TPS is creating for folks who have built their lives here in the Valley.

TPS should be extended for Salvadorans. These families are our neighbors, and they deserve certainty about what comes next.

25 years later, we remember the thousands of Americans who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and the families who still carry their memory.

We remember the first responders who ran toward danger, the service members who stepped forward to serve, and the Americans who came together in the days that followed.

Their courage, sacrifice, and service remain part of our nation’s story.

The Central Valley is home to a large and vibrant Sikh community. Sikh Americans are our neighbors, business owners, farmers, truck drivers, and community leaders.

The Department of Homeland Security’s decision to single out Sikhs in its social media posts was wrong. There is no place for the federal government to stereotype Americans because of their name, faith, or background.

We can enforce our laws and keep our roads safe without demeaning an entire community. This kind of rhetoric is beneath the dignity of our country.

Mendota has been working for years to make a new Community Center a reality. This $2 million federal investment moves that project another step closer.

The new center will give families, kids, and seniors a place for recreation, community programs, and time together.

Federal investments should make a practical difference in the communities they serve. This one will do exactly that for Mendota.

Good to be back in Dos Palos.

We secured $2 million in federal funding for two wastewater projects to replace aging facilities and keep moving forward.

It’s not flashy, but it’s the kind of investment that keeps Central Valley communities running and growing.

Yosemite isn’t for sale. Growing up in Merced, the Gateway to Yosemite, I've seen firsthand generations of families who have visited, worked, and made memories at this historic park. We must protect our public lands and ensure Yosemite remains accessible to those living and visiting the Central Valley.

Representative Zoe Lofgren and I are pressing the Trump Administration to release $867.5 million in Medicaid funding owed to California.

That money helps keep doctors, hospitals, and health care providers serving Valley families.

California shouldn’t have to wait. Release the funding.
