Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

This month, and every month, we honor the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Hispanic communities right here in CA-08 and across the nation.

Their hard work, leadership, and resilience continue to shape and strengthen who we are as a country.

I’m proud to honor Zion, a remarkable young man and senior cadet at California State University Maritime Academy - Cal Maritime who showed extraordinary courage.

When he saw two people struggling in the water and in danger of drowning, Zion didn’t hesitate. He bravely stepped in and helped rescue them, putting their safety before his own. His quick thinking, courage, and willingness to act in a moment of crisis are a powerful reminder of what true bravery looks like.

Zion has a bright future ahead of him, and I’m honored to recognize a young man who has already made such a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Today marks 25 years since the September 11 attacks on our nation.

Patti and I will never forget the thousands of Americans who were taken from us that day, their loved ones, and were grateful for the first responders who ran toward danger to save others.

9/11 was a day of tremendous loss, but it was also a day when we witnessed the extraordinary resilience of the American spirit. It reminded us that even in our darkest moments, courage, compassion, and love can overcome hate and division.

May we always remember those we lost, and carry that spirit forward.

America needs more ships. It’s an economic and national security necessity. That’s why Congressman John Garamendi is holding a Bay Area Maritime Summit, bringing together leaders from all corners of the maritime industry, including the military, labor, industry, and education, to discuss and explore the challenges facing America’s maritime industry and solutions to rebuild it.

From my days at to today, I’ll always be proud to call myself a Golden Bear.

A few decades later, the game plan still hasn’t changed: Beat UCLA.

Excited to see another season of Cal football. Go Bears.

We lost an icon yesterday.

Gloria Steinem built the modern feminist movement. She fought for equal representation in the workplace, gay rights, equal pay, and so much more.

Her courage, voice, and lifelong commitment to equality opened doors for generations of women and changed the world in ways that will never be forgotten.

May your legacy continue to inspire us to speak up, stand together, and keep fighting for a more just and equal future.

Rest in power Gloria Steinem.

The Trump Administration is spending nearly $17 million to equip ICE agents with electric shock gloves. It is cruel, dangerous, and a gross misuse of taxpayer dollars.

I joined and 48 House Democrats in demanding that DHS cancel this contract and ban the deployment of these devices in its operations.

I secured $850,000 for safer crosswalks, protected bike lanes, and better pedestrian connections around 743 new homes near El Cerrito Plaza BART.

I also delivered $500,000 for brighter, more energy-efficient lighting at BART stations across our district.

This is how we make housing and transit work together.

Clean water and strong communities depend on infrastructure most people never see.

I secured over $1 million in federal funding help repair and replace Mare Island’s deteriorating sewer lines.

This is an important first step for economic growth in Mare Island, and I’ll keep working with local leaders to secure the resources needed to finish the job.

I'm demanding the immediate release of more than $7.5 billion in congressionally approved international affairs funding.

These programs fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, malnutrition, and other emerging health threats, saving lives and helping stop outbreaks before they reach America.

The Trump administration must spend these funds and stop putting lives at risk.
