For more than 50 years, Hermelinda poured her heart and soul into the Center for Employment Training in San José–as president and CEO, she transformed CET into a national model, opening doors, strengthening career opportunities, and breaking down barriers for countless marginalized communities. 2/3

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govOct 7(source)

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I want to celebrate Hermelinda Sapien — a trailblazer in expanding workforce development for generations of community members: farmworkers, laid-off tech fab workers, immigrants, young high school graduates, and older adults experiencing re-entry. 1/3

Chag Sameach! May your Sukkot be filled with happiness, blessings, and good company.

Hey Kristi Noem, since you’re sending ICE to the Super Bowl to crack down on the hoards of undocumented immigrants snapping up those $15,000/seat Bowl tickets…are they the same ones who are stealing free health care? www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjkT...

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govOct 6(source)

through recession and budget battles, so we launched the Beautify San José initiative to leverage the energy of our community to help us tackle blight in our city. I’m grateful for the tremendous progress we’ve seen in that partnership…with more to come! [2/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govOct 6(source)

San José has a tremendously dedicated group of neighborhood and community leaders, and I celebrated them and their partnership with City Hall this weekend at the 2025 Neighborhoods Conference. When I became mayor in 2015, we’d just endured the loss of more than 1,000 city employees [1/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govOct 6(source)

Trump’s retribution comprises a gift to China, hamstringing America’s ability to win our clean energy future–we will fight this. [2/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govOct 6(source)

Trump’s cuts in clean energy projects have overwhelmingly targeted Democratic districts. This amounts to cuts of $94,968,354 for energy innovation in Silicon Valley, and $8 billion nationwide. [1/2]

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govOct 6(source)

Just another day of the President violating the order of a crazy leftist federal court….oh, wait…she’s a Trump appointee… www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/u...

Judge Again Blocks Guard Deployment as Trump Expands His Targets

Military personnel and other federal employees in our community are required to forgo their paychecks at a time when too many struggle to buy groceries and pay bills. Until the government reopens, in solidarity with them, I will forgo my salary.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govOct 3(source)

The cost of living is punishing enough. 24,000 neighbors in our community will face higher health care premiums if the ACA tax credits are not extended.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govOct 2(source)

To nobody’s surprise, erratic trade and fiscal policies may not win the day….

Republicans lead the House, Republicans lead the Senate, and Republicans have the White House. Let's see their leadership.

Leaders are unifiers. This is the first President in U.S. history, in the absence of any armed rebellion, to declare war on his fellow Americans. We must not allow this toxic bluster to deepen our divisions.

Trump declares war on Americans: "Our history is filled with military heroes who took on all enemies foreign and domestic. That's what the oath says -- foreign and domestic. Well we also have domestic."

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govSep 29(source)

ICYMI: If we don't protect the ACA health care tax credits, twenty million Americans will see their premiums double, including more than 24,000 of our own neighbors. I won’t back any funding bill that drives up your health care costs.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govSep 28(source)

Why are we headed toward a shutdown, and who is responsible? #SipWithSam buff.ly/dmtdJzz

On National Public Lands Day, we celebrate the natural spaces that make our nation extraordinary. My bill to protect Scarper Ridge as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area will help ensure our community has a lasting place in the National Park System.
