Almost half of America’s kids live in a child care desert. But it doesn’t have to be like this – we need universal child care so every kid gets the start they need.

It was great to join Alex Noyes and Dafna Rand from the Brookings Institution to talk about how we can build an incentive-based U.S. security assistance system that promotes transparency, accountability, and oversight, strengthens our partnerships, and protects our reputation.
Donald Trump’s war in Iran is having far-reaching consequences all over the world – in Nigeria, poverty rates are rising and kids are relapsing into malnutrition. Trump needs to end this war now.
It was so fun to join my neighbors to take care of our own neighborhood! The Kensington-Talmadge Litter Pickers volunteer their Sundays once a month to clean up trash along major roads in our community.
I’m extremely concerned about the Pentagon’s failure to fully disclose service members’ injuries in Trump’s war with Iran. Congress and the American people deserve answers and transparency.
Today, the House passed another war powers resolution to stop Trump’s war in Iran. Senate Republicans voted it down. But the message from the American people is clear: end the war.
As more San Diego-based troops are deployed to the Middle East, it's our job in Congress to make sure that the sacrifices they willingly make are necessary – and that all non-military options have been exhausted. President Trump must end this war now.
Had so much fun at the Serra Mesa Big Block Party! It was great to see so many folks out enjoying the music, local vendors, and the amazing car show.
The national average of a gallon of gas is over $4.00 – thanks to Trump’s war in Iran. In San Diego, it’s about $5.60. But House Republicans don’t care that you’re paying more at the pump; they’re fighting for another $60 BILLION for this war.
I proudly signed the discharge petition to force a vote on the American Dream and Promise Act.
Dreamers deserve a pathway to citizenship and eligible TPS (Temporary Protected Status) and DED (Deferred Enforced Departure) holders need permanent protections. Let's get this done.
More U.S. service members have died because of Donald Trump’s reckless war in Iran – but that’s not deterring House Republicans. They’re pushing for another $60 BILLION of taxpayer dollars to continue this war that will likely cost even more American lives.
I just introduced a bill to overhaul the U.S. security assistance system and ensure we know *before* we send billions of dollars in arms and training that militaries are actually transparent, ethical, and disciplined.
The Trump Administration is gutting YOUR health care to pay for their wars and tax cuts for the rich.
I visited UCSD’s Supercomputer Center to learn more about how they’re using advanced computing and AI to tackle real-world challenges, including supporting wildfire response and advancing health care research.
It’s critical that we harness AI to help people, not just a few tech companies.
I met with the Karen Organization of San Diego – which serves families of Burmese descent – and met kids in their summer camp! We also visited PANA's Global Marketplace, which supports refugee-owned businesses like Doh Doh Coffee, the first Karen-owned coffee shop in San Diego.
The United States gives billions of dollars in weapons and training to foreign militaries every year. I just introduced a bill to make sure that it goes to militaries that respect human rights, follow the law, and aren’t corrupt.
Gun violence has shattered so many communities across this country – including ours, in San Diego. I’m grateful to be working alongside folks like the Alliance to End Gun Violence to end this epidemic and protect future generations from this unnecessary trauma.
I had a great time meeting these kids at John Muir Language Academy’s PrimeTime Summer Enrichment Program! Free summer school programs like this are so important for strengthening kids’ academic and social-emotional skills while their parents are at work.
Last week, I helped pack backpacks with school supplies with Home Start, a local non-profit focused on helping kids grow up in safe and stable homes across San Diego County. Every kid deserves to have everything they need to thrive in school and beyond.
Proud to visit Stepping Stone, which specializes in LGBTQ+-affirming treatment for substance use disorder, mental health services, and transitional housing. When it was founded in 1976, most treatment programs turned away LGBTQ+ people or asked them to closet themselves.
