Great to have advocates from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network stop by my office! I’ll keep fighting for federal support for cancer research, prevention, and treatment to help end cancer as we know it.

This was another unproductive week in Mike Johnson’s House of Representatives. The Speaker canceled votes and sent us home for seven weeks to avoid an impeachment vote on Secretary Hegseth.

President Trump has repeatedly abused his tariff authorities. I do not support giving him additional tariff powers that risk further fueling inflation, especially at a time when Sacramento County families are struggling to make ends meet. Read my statement following tonight's vote on H.R. 5334:

Yesterday, I joined more than 100 of my colleagues urging Speaker Johnson to keep the House in session to address the growing risks posed by AI. Instead of taking action, Speaker Johnson announced that he’s sending us home early for seven weeks.

Last night, I voted again to end President Trump’s illegal war with Iran. This war has cost taxpayers more than $38 billion and has fueled inflation from the gas station to the grocery store.

The Trump administration’s latest effort to sow chaos in our elections by imposing unworkable, last-minute restrictions on mail-in voting was just blocked by the Supreme Court. Millions of eligible Californians cast their ballots by mail to make their voices heard in our democracy.

This goes against the values we stand for as Americans. Celebrating the deportation of Haitians who came to the United States through a lawful humanitarian program to a country gripped by gang violence, mass displacement, and the collapse of essential services is a moral stain on our nation.

Trump said his war with Iran would last for a few weeks. It has now been six months and there’s no end in sight. This war has been a strategic and costly failure for our nation.

President Trump is plunging our country into a petty and reckless trade war with one of our closest allies while families are struggling to put food on the table, keep the lights on, and afford a roof over their heads. Americans deserve better than this.

Secretary Rubio told me directly in June that America’s security posture on the Korean Peninsula "remains the same." Now Trump says he is "substantially reducing" joint military exercises with South Korea because of his personal relationship with Kim Jong Un. What changed?

South Korea has stood with the United States for over 70 years and is one of our most capable military allies. Cutting joint exercises undercuts deterrence and undermines confidence in America’s commitments.

Social Security is a promise. It’s a promise that after a lifetime of hard work, seniors can retire with security, dignity, and peace of mind. In Congress, I will continue fighting to protect and strengthen Social Security to keep that promise alive for the next 91 years and beyond.

This move to end Medicare Part D subsidies will raise premiums and prescription drug costs for many of our seniors.   At a time when seniors on fixed incomes are already struggling to keep up with high prices, this is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing.

Republicans added voter suppression provisions from the SAVE America Act to their bill on congressional stock trading. This cynical move is exactly why so many people are fed up with Washington. Read my full statement.
Rep. Bera Calls for Clean Vote on Comprehensive Congressional Stock Trading Ban

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Representative Ami Bera, M.D. (CA-06) released the following statement after House Republicans added restrictive voting provisions to a bill on congressional stock trading:

“I strongly support a stock trading ban. I have cosponsored two comprehensive bipartisan bills and signed two discharge petitions this Congress to ban Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from trading or owning individual stocks.

“Republicans squandered what could have been a strong bipartisan vote by attaching voter suppression provisions from the SAVE America Act to this bill. These burdensome restrictions would make it harder for eligible Americans to vote and would disproportionately impact seniors, people with disabilities, rural voters, low-income Americans, and working families.

“This cynical move is exactly why so many people are fed up with Washington. I remain committed to passing bipartisan legislation through a clean, up-or-down vote to enact this ban and restore confidence in our government.”
