So amazed by all of our local firefighters and first responders who’ve stepped up to help fight these wildfires. I'm proud of our community for coming together to help our neighbors and we’ll be here for every step of rebuilding and recovery.

San Diego-area firefighters mobilized in LA, Navy helicopters on standby

Local fire crews from San Diego, Poway, Chula Vista, Carlsbad, and National City have already contributed to the fight against those fires, according to the San Diego Fire Department.

Starting this year, Members of Congress and federal employees get IVF coverage as part of their health insurance – but our service members, who put their lives on the line for us, still don’t. That’s wrong, and I’m trying to fix it.

For 17 years, our LGBTQ+ service members experienced discrimination under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. I’m thrilled the Department of Defense is working to right these wrongs and taking steps in line with the goals of a bill I co-lead, the SERVE Act.

Pentagon agrees to historic legal settlement with gay and lesbian veterans

If approved by a federal judge, the agreement means the military would help thousands of veterans seek honorable discharges.

SDG&E has cut off the power for many San Diegans to prevent the spread of the wildfires – and many more could be affected in the coming days. Click here for SDG&E's outage map: sdge.com/outages Click here for a list of Community Resource Centers: www.sdge.com/psps-dashboard

People impacted by wildfires sometimes have only 15 minutes to evacuate – so don't wait until a fire is spreading to create your action plan. Check out these resources to prepare yourselves and your families now.

Are you fire-ready? Take these steps to prepare for a wildfire evacuation in California

A fire spark can quickly turn into a massive wildfire if the conditions are just right, often leaving residents little time to gather their belongings and their loved ones to escape the path of the bl...

Thinking of everyone forced to evacuate or whose homes, businesses, and lives are impacted by the wildfires in California. I’m so grateful to all the firefighters and first responders who’ve risked their lives to put out these fires and save lives.

This is a big deal – especially for Millennials who hold more medical debt than any other generation. This new rule will give millions of people the financial freedom to start or grow a business or buy a home.

New rule will remove medical debt from credit reports for millions

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is finalizing a rule to erase $49 billion in unpaid medical bills from the credit reports of about 15 million Americans.

This is a critical first step to holding the RSF and UAE accountable for the genocide in Sudan. I will continue to push for stronger actions against those who are prolonging this war as we wait for the Admin’s Jan 17 assessment of the UAE’s pledge to end its support to the RSF.

US says Sudanese rebel force has committed genocide and imposes sanctions on the group's leaders

The Biden administration says it has determined Sudan's Rapid Support Force rebel group and proxies are committing genocide in the country's civil war.

Since everyone’s been sharing their 2025 vision board, here’s mine!

Take me back to San Diego 🥶

It's difficult – but important – to be back in the House chamber and bear witness to the election proceedings today. We don’t have to like the election results to know that this was a free, fair, and secure election.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 6(source)

January 6th, 2021 was my 4th day in office and the closest I've ever come to losing my life. As I head down to the House Floor to certify the presidential election, here are my thoughts on how we can rebuild our democracy and the fault lines in our country.

In the year 2025, all parents should be able to find and afford child care. It’s time to invest in a universal, affordable system that meets the needs of families and providers.

The third time’s the charm! So glad my family (including my niece Ayla and nephew Arli) could finally watch me be sworn into Congress!

#GRWM to get sworn into Congress

I’m so proud of my work delivering for service members and military families last year – from raising pay to expanding access to child care and housing to strengthening reproductive rights.

Last night should have been about welcoming 2025 with joy and hope — not tragedy. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the horrific attack in New Orleans. As the authorities investigate, it’s important to wait for the facts so that we don’t compound this tragedy further.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 1(source)

As we close out 2024, I’m so proud of everything my team accomplished this year – from returning $23 million to San Diegans to delivering for our military families. Watch this video to see the highlights.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 30(source)

As I keep pushing for comprehensive immigration reform that supports our border communities, I’m proud that I secured $82 million in federal funds for San Diego non-profits to prevent street releases and treat migrants and asylum seekers with dignity and respect.

I’m so saddened by President Jimmy Carter’s passing. He will be long remembered for his work to defend human rights and democracy, alleviate poverty, and pursue peace. May his memory be a blessing and an example to all of a true public servant.
