One person is killed an average of every 42 minutes in a drunk-driving crash, and these tragedies often rise around New Year’s. Let’s make tonight about celebration, not mourning; make a plan to get home safely from wherever you go. Drive sober—or get pulled over. www.nhtsa.gov/campaign/dri...

Sure, it’s not Spotify—but this is our #wrapped. We’re ready to keep delivering for you in the year ahead.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 22(source)

This year, more than 2,000 children—from newborns to teenagers—across over 980 families will receive gifts thanks to the Campbell Chamber of Commerce. There’s still time to make a difference in a child’s holiday season. Hear from Ken Johnson, Executive Director, on how you can help.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 19(source)

Our nation needs nearly 12 million homes to meet our housing needs—and @ushousefsc.bsky.social just took a real step toward closing that gap. Two of my bipartisan bills to cut red tape and accelerate homebuilding advanced out of committee in a landmark package. Next stop: the House Floor.

Will Congress extend the ACA tax credits? #SipWithSam!

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 17(source)

We have a majority in the House to extend the ACA tax credits. @SpeakerJohnson must immediately bring this bill up for a vote—22 million Americans are counting on it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Centrist Republicans revolt, signing a petition to force a vote on Obamacare funding

The enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies are still expected to expire at the end of this year, however, raising insurance premiums for millions of Americans.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 16(source)

In the wake of the mass shooting at Brown University, Congress must do more—not less—to protect our communities from gun violence. Today, I offered an amendment in the Financial Services Committee to stop Congress from standing in states’ way as they enact laws that make our communities safer.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 16(source)

May the Festival of Lights bring reflection, resilience, and renewed hope to your homes and to all who seek peace. Chag Sameach. [2/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 16(source)

Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating across our community. In the wake of recent acts of antisemitism and in a moment of deep pain for Jewish communities around the world, we stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors. [1/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 15(source)

It’s long past time to craft sensible, effective federal guardrails that protect consumers and whistleblowers while providing the uniformity innovators need to avoid regulatory pinball across 50 states. [2/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 15(source)

I spoke at the Financial Services Committee hearing hours before the latest executive order on AI—an order that won’t survive judicial review and, more importantly, reflects the same two-dimensional focus on a moratorium that has paralyzed Congress and dominated Beltway debate. [1/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 14(source)

In the last day, the world has witnessed horrific violence—from a shooting at Brown University to an attack in Sydney. Gun violence and antisemitic hate must be confronted wherever they appear. Our hearts are with the victims and their families.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 14(source)

There’s still work to do in Washington to get this across the finish line so these critical programs can continue to be funded. [2/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 14(source)

Avenidas Rose Kleiner—and senior care centers across the country—count on the Older Americans Act Reauthorization of 2025 to keep delivering the essential services older adults need to thrive. [1/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 13(source)

Thanks to coordinated legal action from states, local governments, and nonprofits — and from the pressure we applied in our congressional advocacy — more than 170,000 struggling American families nationwide can sleep easier knowing they won’t be pushed out of their apartments into the street.

After California lawsuits, Trump administration pauses plan to divert billions of dollars from homeless housing

State officials warned the funding shift could push tens of thousands of formerly homeless Californians back to the street.

As our Fall intern cohort wraps up their final weeks with Team Liccardo in D.C., I had the chance to sit down with them to discuss their amazing work and hear about their favorite experiences. Their hard work meant a lot to our whole team, and I can’t wait to cheer them on in whatever comes next!

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 12(source)

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, 22 million Americans have been able to access more affordable health care through the ACA Marketplace – time is running out to extend the tax credits that keep coverage in reach for tens of millions of Americans.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govDec 12(source)

A “human swastika” on a school field is no “prank”; it’s harmful, hateful, premeditated, and offensive to our shared values. I’m grateful for the swift response from school leaders. To our Jewish community—and to all—antisemitism has no place here. www.mercurynews.com/2025/12/11/h...

‘Hate breeds hate’: How should school respond after ‘human swastika’ incident?

A ‘human swastika’ formed by students at Branham High School last week sent shockwaves through the community.
