It was an honor to speak today at the Central Valley Veterans Stand Down at VFW Post 8900 and recognize our local veterans.

Stand Down events connect veterans with critical resources, services, and support. I was proud to present a congressional certificate and coins to honor their service and sacrifice. Our veterans answered the call to serve our nation, and we must always stand ready to serve them.

Today, we celebrate the anniversary of AmeriCorps, established in 1993 to strengthen communities through service.

For more than three decades, AmeriCorps members and volunteers have stepped up to serve their neighbors, support communities in times of need, and make a difference across our country.

I was proud to join the Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation and the City of Fresno for the opening ceremony of Fiestas Patrias in celebration of Mexican Independence Day.

The rich culture and traditions of Mexico are deeply woven into the fabric of our Valley and have helped shape our communities for generations.

It was wonderful to come together with families and community leaders to celebrate the heritage and traditions that continue to enrich the Valley.

California farmers, including those in the San Joaquin Valley, are being hit with more than $2,000 in additional fuel costs.

It’s outrageous. Our farmers work every day to feed America, and they should not be forced to shoulder even higher costs just to keep their farms running.

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to celebrate Hellwig Products’ 80th anniversary in Visalia

Founded in 1946, Hellwig Products remains a fourth-generation, family-owned business that proudly manufactures its products right here in the Central Valley.

For eight decades, Hellwig has supported American manufacturing, created local jobs, and remained an important part of the Visalia community. Congratulations on 80 years!

I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of two helicopter crew members who lost their lives while battling the Dome Fire in Yosemite National Park.

These brave individuals put their lives on the line to protect our communities and public lands. We must never forget the courage and sacrifice of the men and women who serve on the front lines of our wildfires.

My thoughts and prayers are with their families and loved ones during this difficult time.

The pilots were conducting fire suppression operations on the Dome Fire when they crashed Sunday.

Wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur and an easy fast to all those observing across California’s 21st Congressional District.

May this sacred day of reflection, atonement, and renewal bring peace to you and your loved ones.

This week, Team Costa joined the Mexican Consulate in Fresno to celebrate 216 years of Mexican independence and recognize this important milestone with a congressional certificate.

We are proud to celebrate the generations of families whose traditions, culture, and contributions are woven into the fabric of our Valley.
