Before returning to Washington, I had the joy of celebrating two of our amazing team members, Gisella and Victoria, on their graduation from San José State University. I’m excited to see them continue to grow and thrive on our team. Congratulations to all the graduates in our community!

ICYMI: I recently spoke with KRON 4 News at Columbus Park about my work to lower skyrocketing housing costs and help people find stable homes.
Amid the attack on LGBTQ+ rights, the community’s courage inspires me—and millions of others—to keep fighting for the dignity and legal rights which we all share. As a member of the @equality.house.gov, I’m proud to stand up for equality this month and every day. #Pride2025
Great meeting with Portola Valley’s Mayor and City Manager this week for a discussion on wildfire resilience, housing, and how federal partnerships can support local innovation. It’s inspiring to hear their leadership and commitment to building a safer, more sustainable Portola Valley.
Thank you for the warm welcome, Pacifica! Two hundred of us gathered to discuss the issues facing our country and our community. We’ll gather again for a town hall in Campbell in June – stay tuned for details! #TownHall

We brought #SipWithSam to Menlo Park this week, and I’m so grateful for the meaningful one-on-one conversations with our neighbors, hosted by Cafe Zoe. These sessions are a great way to connect, listen, and share what matters most to our community.
The Emoluments Clause was added to the Constitution to stop presidents from profiting off their office. Trump is ignoring the law, creating a pay-to-play system where foreign investors can buy access—putting our national security at risk. #MEMEAct
President Trump is using crypto and $TRUMP to supercharge his grift—over 760,000 Americans have lost more than $2 billion collectively on his meme coin scam. We must make corruption criminal again. #MEMEAct
Thank you to the San Jose Rotary Club for your dedicated service and leadership in our community. It was an honor to join you yesterday and share reflections from my first few months in Congress.
I spent the afternoon with Order of Malta volunteers at Columbus Park distributing food, water, and hygiene kits. To truly address homelessness, we need innovative, scalable solutions—like expanding federal Section 8 housing choice vouchers. #SanJose
I visited the dedicated team at VA Palo Alto, where I saw firsthand their deep commitment to our veterans. Despite the challenges posed by DOGE-driven cuts, Dr. Jean Gurga and her team are working tirelessly to ensure continuity and excellence in care.
We know a dollar invested in resilience will save $13 in repairs -- it is cruel and chaotic not to invest in the preventative measures we need to fortify our communities against the inevitable impacts of climate change. #BringBackBRIC
Autonomous aviation is no longer science fiction—it’s taking off right here in Mountain View. No surprise that innovation is soaring in our community! I visited Reliable Robotics to see how they're leading the way in making air travel safer and more efficient. #Innovation
Throughout our district, I joined Memorial Day celebrations to honor our brave servicemembers and their families. Grateful to reflect with neighbors in San Jose, Los Gatos, and Campbell. We remember. We honor. #MemorialDay
Today, we honor and mourn the brave servicemembers who gave their lives defending our country. Their sacrifice reminds us of the true cost of freedom. We will never forget. #MemorialDay
