While cleaning out my office, I came across my old UC Davis ID card from my days as Associate Dean for Admissions!

One of the most rewarding parts of my time at UC Davis was helping train the next generation of physicians. It’s always a thrill to run into former students who are now caring for patients across the Sacramento region.

Looking at that old photo, I can't believe how young I was. Not a gray hair on my head!

New findings in a report released by the New York Federal Reserve reveal that the cost of everyday items would have DECLINED without Trump’s tariffs.

I will continue fighting alongside my Democratic colleagues to reverse these tariffs and lower costs for families in the Sacramento region.

Tariffs added 2.9 percentage points to inflation in 67 categories of goods by February 2026, researchers at the New York Federal Reserve found.

As a former educator, I love getting back into the classroom and answering students’ questions about government, current events, and how young people can help shape the future.

Read more about my visit to Cordova High School as part of my “Congress in Your Classroom” series in the Rancho Cordova Grapevine Independent!

Artificial intelligence, inflation, immigration and the future of work all landed on the same classroom agenda Thursday, Oct. 1at Cordova High School.

Great catching up with advocates from the Alzheimer’s Association!

We talked about the need to expand access to early detection and dementia care, strengthen training for health care providers, and increase federal investment in Alzheimer’s research.

We also planned for my office’s 11th Annual Brain Health Forum on November 13th. My office is proud of our decade-long partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association to host this event and provide our community with updates on Alzheimer’s research and resources for caregivers and those living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias.

Every person should be offended by the contempt President Trump has for millions of our fellow Americans.

President Trump: Californians are not collateral damage for your reckless and illegal war with Iran.

For 25 years, the Regional Water Authority has brought together water providers and affiliates across the greater Sacramento region to strengthen the reliability, quality, and affordability of our water supply for the 2.2 million people they serve.

Their work has helped residents use water more efficiently and supported major investments in groundwater storage to strengthen our region’s long-term water resilience.

I was honored to join the RWA’s 25th anniversary celebration in Sacramento to present Executive Director Jim Peifer with a Congressional Record statement recognizing this important milestone.

Congratulations to the Regional Water Authority on 25 years of regional leadership and service to our community!

I had the honor of recognizing Bob McGarvey as my office’s October Veteran of the Month yesterday at Rancho Cordova City Hall.

Bob served our nation in the Air Force from 1961 to 1967, including two and a half years of active duty at Mather Air Force Base and two years in the Air Force Reserve.

That commitment has continued through decades of service to Rancho Cordova in local schools, civic organizations, and community life.

Thank you, Bob, for your service to our nation and for your dedication to making Rancho Cordova a great place to live.

Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!

Donald Trump must end his illegal war with Iran.

My District Chief of Staff Matt Ceccato was honored to join the return ceremony for the Sacramento-based 319th Expeditionary Signal Battalion following the battalion’s deployment during the Iran war.

Throughout their deployment, these Soldiers carried out a demanding mission, maintaining critical communications across multiple countries under difficult conditions.

At the ceremony, Matt had the privilege of recognizing six Purple Heart recipients on my behalf and presented each of them with a congressional challenge coin.

We owe an enduring debt of gratitude to these brave men and women in uniform, and to the families who supported them throughout their deployment.

Welcome home, and thank you for your service and sacrifice to our nation. 🇺🇸
