These reports of this herbicide use are deeply troubling. Our public forests aren’t chemical dumping grounds. We should be protecting our natural treasures in California and across the U.S., not subjecting them to heavy-handed practices that threaten their wildlife and habitat.

We’re still in the middle of Trump’s pointless war in Iran. Prices are soaring, people are dying, and Republicans are doing nothing to rein in their wannabe dictator. I just introduced another War Powers Resolution because I will not give up until this conflict ends and Trump is held accountable.

I'm calling out Trump's corrupt water grab - a scheme to federalize the Potter Valley Project and sell off our North Coast water to southern California. I won't allow our water to be stolen and sold off this way. The fight is on, and we are going to win! www.pressdemocrat.com/2026/04/22/t...

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Text reads:

November 17, 2025

With the passage of Prop 50 my home county, Siskiyou, changes from District 1 to 2 in the upcoming election cycle. I strongly believe a representative should live where they serve and cannot in good conscience continue to campaign for a district in which I will no longer reside. As such, I am officially suspending my Congressional campaign. 

This journey has been humbling, and I am truly grateful to all who have supported me along the way. My experience has facilitated immense personal growth, ignited a fire to serve The People, and I am a better person because of it. While my campaign is coming to an end, my commitment to our communities continues.

I was happy to support @seiu2015.bsky.social's efforts at our Board of Supervisors meeting. IHSS workers are in dire need of a wage that reflects the rising cost of living. Without these workers recipients would lose access to care or be forced into a skilled nursing facility at four times the cost.

Image of text that reads:

I am strongly in support of Governor Newsom's effort to redistrict California in response to Republican efforts to gerrymander the next election. While I agree that mid-decade redistricting as well as gerrymandering are both extremely problematic, our democracy is on the line and as the most populated state in the union, California has a duty to fight in defense of The People. Authoritarianism is a clear and present danger to our citizens and the nation as a whole and we must do everything we can to resist. I especially appreciate the representatives that vote in favor of this action even at the expense of their next election.

Farm workers and farm labor are vital to our nation’s food security. With no one to harvest ripened crops in a timely fashion, they ultimately rot in the fields. In short, the outcome of ICE raids on farm workers is higher grocery prices and less available food for Americans. @altusda.altgov.info
Photo of text from linked article:

BAD FOR BUSINESS
Most economists and politicians acknowledge that many of America’s agricultural workers are in the country illegally, but say a sharp reduction in their numbers could have devastating impacts on the food supply chain and farm-belt economies.
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a Republican and former director of the Congressional Budget Office, said an estimated 80% of farmworkers in the U.S. were foreign-born, with nearly half of them in the country illegally. Losing them will cause price hikes for consumers, he said.
“This is bad for supply chains, bad for the agricultural industry,” Holtz-Eakin said.
Over a third of U.S. vegetables and over three-quarters of the country’s fruits and nuts are grown in California, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture. The state’s farms and ranches generated nearly $60 billion in agricultural sales in 2023.
