Last November, millions of American families struggling with the rising cost of living told us what they care about at the polls. This Administration has done nothing to address those burdens. 1/2

Great visit with the 63rd Readiness Division — we discussed how we can use federal land to increase the supply of affordable housing for families at the base and beyond.

Local innovator @Waymo is launching autonomous cars in our Valley – what do you think? Will you take a Waymo to SFO in the next month or two?

Waymo expands self-driving taxi service into Silicon Valley

Waymo has begun offering their self-driving ride services to select customers in Mountain View, Los Altos, Palo Alto and parts of Sunnyvale.

Rise up all green people! San Jose’s Shamrock Run raises ~green~ to fund scholarships for local SJSU students to participate in educational exchange with our I sister city of Dublin. I had a great time wishing all of the leprechauns, lads and lassies luck before the race.

Regeneron Science Talent Search and Westmont High School student Yash Ranjith visited our office this week. Yash developed a groundbreaking neural network that improves the ability of health and safety experts to predict pollution spread. Congratulations, Yash! #Innovation4Good.

We're not done talking about the budget. #SipWithSam youtube.com/shorts/BX_I9...

Happy Holi to all who celebrate! May your celebrations be as vibrant as the colors around you, filling your hearts and homes with joy.

While it’s still unclear if Republicans will be able to muster the votes to avoid a government shutdown, I want you to have answers about what it would mean for you. Visit my website for more information.

Government Shutdown FAQs

Why does the government shut down? The government shuts down when Congress is unable to pass appropriations bills that finance the operations of federal agencies and programs, such as the National…

Purim Sameach – Happy Purim! I hope this holiday is blessed for all who celebrate.

Raul Grijalva was a steadfast champion for environmental justice and protecting our nation’s treasured natural resources — always building stronger communities in the process. May his memory be a blessing.

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

March is Women’s History Month. As we celebrate women's achievements, strength, and resilience, let’s also reaffirm our commitment to advancing gender equality.

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

To avoid a shutdown, the GOP should return to Washington to pass a 4-week stopgap and sit down at the negotiating table. Let’s get it done.

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

Although the GOP majority controls both houses of Congress, they still lack the votes to pass their budget resolution this week - a budget that would have pushed 32,000 families into the street and cut veterans' health care because they never negotiated with Democrats.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMar 11(source)

I didn’t come to Congress to withhold veterans' benefits, worsen our homelessness crisis, and participate in the Republicans’ scheme to abdicate Constitutional budgetary authority to a President who has demonstrated unprecedented recklessness with the lives and livelihoods of the American people.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMar 11(source)

If the last 6 weeks have taught us anything, it’s that this President needs less power, not more. Donald Trump and Elon Musk won’t abide by Congress’s funding bills, so why would we give them a blank check? So, I’m voting NO on the spending stopgap.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMar 10(source)

I am grateful to each of you who is willing to roll up your sleeves with us for the battles ahead.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMar 10(source)

Thank you to the 700 neighbors who joined our town hall. Amid the chaos of this administration, I recall the words of another president: the most important word in the lexicon of any participant in democracy is “we.”

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMar 10(source)

Thank you to Mahmut Altun and Nurdin Kaparov of the Pacifica Institute and Pastor Dave Samuelson for bringing Christian and Muslim communities together for an Iftar dinner and conversation Sunday evening. Ramadan Mubarak!

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

In the wake of reports from Reuters anticipating another “Muslim travel ban” in the coming days, I’m grateful that Saratoga Mayor Belal Aftab invited me and other local leaders to join an Iftar dinner with more than 300 Muslim community members. #ResilienceThroughCommunity

Yesterday, I shared one of my favorite books, The Giving Tree, with the brilliant third graders of Meadows Elementary. Reading to our kids sparks imagination and inspires them to pick up the habit—laying the foundation for their lifelong learning and success. #ReadAcrossAmericaWeek
