On National Farmworkers Day, we thank the hard-working community members whose ganas and daily commitment sustain each of us by putting food on our tables. Today, we honor the movement that farmworkers built, inspiring generations that fight for social justice.

Thanks to two dozen of my colleagues who joined me in pressing the Administration: if Elon Musk’s Starlink won’t meet the performance standards required for more than $700 million in broadband subsidies, then parent SpaceX shouldn’t get taxpayers’ money. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026...

POLITICO Pro: Democrats worry Elon Musk’s Starlink may struggle to live up to BEAD promises

Rep. Sam Liccardo and other Democrats fear SpaceX could fall short on delivering on broadband commitments. The administration insists federal rules "cannot be contracted away."

The Moffett Field Commissary operates in a building that’s falling apart. We secured a short-term fix to keep it open through 2029—but military families deserve better than a countdown clock. I testified before the committee that controls funding and pushed for a long-term solution.

The American people deserve better.

Speaker Mike Johnson has demonstrated once again that he cannot lead this House. It’s long past time for new leadership in Congress.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMar 27(source)

We're close to getting people paid.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMar 26(source)

On #EqualPayDay, a simple fact persists: women still earn less for the same work. As Mayor, I backed San José’s Women’s Bill of Rights to advance equal pay for equal work. Congress must act to close the gap.

Allowing Iran to sell about 140 million barrels of oil—roughly $15 billion worth—is practically giving Iran the bullets that they use to shoot us with. youtube.com/shorts/n8197...

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMar 25(source)

I'm leading my @ushousefsc.bsky.social colleagues in calling on Treasury Secretary Bessent to answer in public about plans to lift sanctions on Iranian and Russian oil. Allowing the sale of 140M barrels of Iranian oil would inject billions to pay for the missiles Iran fires at U.S. soldiers.

Always great seeing friends from home here in D.C. Thank you to Mountain View Mayor Emily Ann Ramos and Councilmember Pat Showalter for sharing our residents’ top priorities, including federal funding for key public safety and affordable housing projects.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMar 22(source)

Weeks ago, I cosponsored a bill to pay TSA, the Coast Guard, & other law-abiding DHS personnel. 175 colleagues have signed on a discharge petition to force an unwilling Speaker Johnson to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. We need 44 more members to sign on to get these paychecks out the door.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMar 22(source)

Saturday morning, I met with many hard-working TSA agents at San José Mineta International Airport who keep our country safe—and they’re consistently showing up, without pay, as they struggle afford the gas to get to work.

Our community wraps our arms around each of our neighbors and wishes you a blessed new year of health, prosperity, and renewed hope for peace and brighter days ahead.

Happy Nowruz! Today, many Persian Americans mark this holiday with heavy hearts, separated from their loved ones during this ongoing conflict.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govMar 20(source)

Amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East, this period has been especially heavy for many in our Muslim communities. We extend our wishes for strength and peace to our neighbors and send our support to all those affected around the world.
