I met with Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia and an old friend, on the day that it was announced that Nvidia achieved a milestone valuation. Safe to say, he was all smiles.

Great read about how programs like Cascade Regenerator and Rancho San Benito are helping leaders like Maria Zavala build thriving businesses and reshape the future of local agriculture.

From farm worker to farm owner

Two programs on the Coastside are providing farmworkers with training and support to help them become small business owners running their own farms.

This is an epidemic of lawlessness from this administration. The 14th Amendment is clear, affirmed by eight federal judges and the Supreme Court 127 years ago. Yet, they continue to push unconstitutional executive orders and terrorize communities.

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

Our natural spaces are among our nation’s greatest treasures, and we have a responsibility to preserve them for future generations.

July is National Parks and Recreation Month—a time to celebrate the public lands that make America extraordinary. My bill to protect Scarper Ridge as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area will secure a place for our community in the National Park System.

The fact that there's a false conspiracy being propagated by this administration's attorney general is a feature, not a bug.

San Jose’s own Asian Americans for Community Involvement was awarded a $438,000 grant from HHS to expand its behavioral health workforce. The funding will help train culturally competent mental health professionals to better serve our community and fill critical gaps in care.

We must stand together as Americans to fight for and protect our fellow citizens from having their citizenship stripped by Trump’s unlawful order.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 9(source)

157 years ago today, the 14th Amendment was ratified—enshrining the promise of citizenship for all born on U.S. soil, a promise upheld by the Supreme Court since 1898. States now prepare to challenge Trump's unconstitutional executive order.

When I first met him 17 years ago, he was leading employees in renovating an East San Jose elementary school. Today, he’s still at the helm and now leading the world’s most valuable company. Congrats to Jensen and the entire Nvidia team. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 9(source)

I’m no tech stock fanboy—but Nvidia’s breathtaking rise reflects the best of Silicon Valley. Jensen Huang, an immigrant who worked graveyard shifts as a busboy and attended public school, launched Nvidia from a Denny’s in East San Jose.

A very special birthday lunch for our teammate Justin! We had a great time celebrating at the recently opened Agua Salada—huge thanks to the staff for the delicious seafood, outstanding service, and a fabulous rendition of Feliz Cumpleaños!

Checking in from the Coastside! Thank you to everyone in Half Moon Bay who stopped by for office hours. These conversations—about the challenges we face and the solutions we need—are invaluable as I fight for our community.

Representative Sam Liccardo Introduces New Bill to Eliminate Proposed Tax Burdens on Working Families and Defund Cartels

Today, Representative Sam Liccardo (CA-16) introduced H.R. 4274, the Remittance Expense Minimization and Integrity for Transfers (REMIT) Act, to counter Congressional Republicans’ newly imposed 1% tax on remittances included in the “One Bloated Borrowing Budget.”

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 8(source)

After Republicans jammed through the Big Bloated Borrowing Bill, I’m fighting to fix what they broke — piece by broken piece. Today, I introduced the REMIT Act to stop one of its most misguided provisions: a 1% remittance tax that punishes hardworking families and fuels illicit financial networks.
