Trump’s economy is simply not working for CA-10 or for the American people. To discuss how House Democrats are working in Congress to lower the cost of living, I am hosting a virtual Town Hall on Affordability on Tuesday, October 20th at 3:00 p.m.

Thanks to President Trump’s disastrous war in Iran and other policies, gas prices are at a record high, grocery bills continue to climb, and for some families in our community, healthcare costs more than doubled this year.

A new low for President Trump as he invites a foreign adversary to attack American cities. I joined my California colleagues in the House in condemning the President’s disgusting statement. I continue to call for the end of his disastrous war with Iran. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

As we address the widespread issues in refineries from worker safety to the environmental impact, there continue to be examples of local refineries that are embracing the transition to renewable fuels. Our community safety depends on that kind of thoughtful evolution.

I joined more than 70 of my colleagues in calling on the Administration to stop this new policy, which adds unnecessary bureaucracy to a safe and affordable process and will cost our constituents more for the medications they need.

I have heard from numerous East Bay residents, who are among the more than 2 million Americans who purchase lower-cost prescription medication internationally each year, following the Trump Administration’s announcement that CBP would no longer allow international mail shipments of medication.
