I’m deeply grateful for the Veterans Affiliated Council’s leadership and our local veteran organizations in our region making sure Sacramento’s veterans are always supported, year-round.

Sacramento is home to tens of thousands of veterans, spanning generations. From World War II to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and every conflict and mission in between. Each of them carries a story of courage. Each of them deserves dignity, support, and respect.
Veterans Day is a moment of reflection, a moment of gratitude, and a moment of responsibility.
Today, I had the privilege of honoring WWII veteran Raymond Basquez, whose commitment to service should be an incredible example for us all to follow.
Now they’re asking families to trust a vague promise of a future vote to lower health care costs. It's unacceptable. Premiums are skyrocketing. Americans are already stretched thin.
I’ve been fighting to protect coverage, lower costs, & hold the Trump admin accountable. I’m not stopping now.
This deal will do nothing to lower health care costs. I will be voting NO.
Republicans manufactured this health care crisis through their chaos and cruelty. [1/2]
In the face of extreme uncertainty, volunteers, food banks, and local nonprofits have gone the extra mile to make sure our neighbors are cared for.
That is who Sacramento is-we show up for one another. And I’ll keep fighting back against every one of the Trump administration’s cruel attacks.
While the Trump administration rips SNAP benefits away from families, our community stepped up.
This week, my team and I volunteered at food banks all over our district, putting in over a hundred staff hours, and getting food to over 2,100 families.
Republicans have chosen chaos over solutions—shutting down the government instead of working to lower costs and protect coverage. Today is a call to action.
We’ve come too far to turn back. I’ll keep fighting to preserve the enhanced premium tax credits and ensure all Californians can stay covered.
This morning, I joined @coveredca.bsky.social California to kick off open enrollment.
Covered California and the Affordable Care Act have transformed lives by making affordable, high-quality health care a reality for millions of families. That progress is now at risk.
Playing political games with food is beyond the pale, but very much in line with this administration’s cruel standard operating procedure.
While Republicans stay away, my Democratic colleagues & I are making sure not a moment is wasted, especially when it comes to the wellbeing of our neighbors.
For the second time in two weeks a federal judge has ordered Donald Trump to fund SNAP for the month of November. We still don’t know if he’s going to follow that order, because he has yet to follow the first. [1/2]
I want to thank the team at the Yolo Food Bank, the amazing volunteers, and our West Sacramento community leaders for stepping up and supporting our most vulnerable neighbors. In the face of cruelty, you have responded with care and compassion, because that’s who we are.
I’ll always fight for you.
I joined the Yolo Food Bank today to help support our West Sacramento community in their time of need. Food should never be used as a bargaining chip. The Trump administration may be dragging their feet to feed the American people, but our region isn’t. [1/2]
There’s no one like my dear friend Nancy Pelosi. Time and again, she has made history and changed it for the better.
Thank you for your leadership, your friendship, your courage, and your unyielding determination to deliver for the American people.
Leadership is lifting up your community and making sure they are supported. Leadership is not using food as a weapon or a bargaining chip. That’s cruelty.
Our region will never stand for that. [2/2]
Today, I joined Elk Grove Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen, Councilmember Rod Brewer, and our fellow community members at Elk Grove Food Bank Services to distribute food to our neighbors in their time of need. [1/2]
Thank you to River City Food Bank for all you do to make sure our most vulnerable Sacramentans are fed and have access to crucial resources.
It was an honor to join you today and stand side-by-side to make sure our neighbors are supported. I’ll always have your back.
I am here for the people of Sacramento. The people of Sacramento are standing up for each other.
My Democratic colleagues and I are united to make sure no family goes hungry and no one is priced out of the health care they deserve. [2/2]
Using food as leverage is as cruel and un-American as it gets. In Sacramento, we’ll never let our neighbors suffer because Donald Trump and Republicans refuse to do their job. I won’t sit back and let that kind of inaction be normalized or excused. [1/2]
That’s Sacramento. We show up. We take care of each other. And we are going to keep fighting together to ensure every family gets the support they deserve. [3/3]
