But technology alone isn’t enough—we also need strong partnerships, federal investment, and community action. We can protect our neighborhoods and prevent the next wildfire

Heartbreaking to see Antisemitism rear its ugly head in San Jose. We must not give in to hate, and we must stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors. Anyone with information: please call SJPD, and support their efforts to arrest the vandals.

In the words of Justice Brandeis, “sunshine is the best disinfectant.”
Holding the Trump Administration accountable for unprecedented deployments of our military on U.S. soil requires transparency. The SUN Act will require disclosure of the specific legal basis, goals, impacts, and taxpayer cost of these deployments—so Americans know the truth.
Every 42 minutes, someone loses their life to a drunk-driving crash — more than 12,000 lives each year. Drive sober, or get pulled over. Together, we can save lives.
Thank you to all who attended a town hall meeting with me and the League of Women Voters of Santa Clara County. These community forums keep our democracy strong – I look forward to our next gathering. Stay tuned for details!
Honored to join Ross Fernandes and our local Eagle Scouts in celebrating their remarkable achievements. Their dedication and leadership inspire our community. Keep soaring high! 🦅
Big thanks goes to Paul Cho and the entire Samsung team for investing in our community, creating thousands of local jobs, and driving innovation that strengthens our economy.
On stage at the 10th anniversary of Samsung Semiconductor’s U.S. headquarters in San Jose with Samsung President Paul Cho and 1500 of our friends!
I’m committed to working with them through the next farm bill to advance sustainable and regenerative agriculture.
I learned so much yesterday from meeting with so many of our local farmers and agricultural industry experts on the Coastside. Our growers continue to face pressure from consolidation among large distributors and farms, rising costs, and ICE enforcement amid a shrinking workforce.
I’m committed to protecting and strengthening Social Security so it’s there for current retirees and future generations.
90 years ago today, America made a promise: after a lifetime of work, you should get to retire with dignity and peace of mind. Today, over 114,000 of our neighbors count on Social Security to pay for housing, groceries, and medicine.
Please join me and the League of Women Voters of Santa Clara County this Sunday, August 17.
🗓 When: Sunday, August 17 | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📍 Where: Mitchell Park Community Center – El Palo Alto Room
3700 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, CA 94306

As a former mayor of a city with the lowest homicide rate of any major US city, I know that urban law enforcement must be left to the experts: trained, experienced police officers—not the National Guard. (2/2)
Irony: Trump famously hesitated to call in the troops on January 6th to fend off a violent insurrection, but deploys the military in DC as violent crime there has reached a 30-year-low. (1/2)

From answering your calls to keeping our San Jose office humming, our District Office interns do it all. We had a blast at #SipWithTheInterns swapping stories and hearing what they learned this summer!
Paw-sibly the best day in Pacifica every summer. Congratulations to these salty dogs for catching some gnarly waves—I’m already looking forward to next year! 🌊🤙🐶

In June, when I asked Fed Chair Jerome Powell about rising uncertainty due to this Administration’s efforts to undermine reliable data collection on our economy, he responded that he was “worried about the direction of travel.” We have reached a perilous destination already.
