In Sacramento, we know how to move forward responsibly. I met with Sacramento’s environmental and development leaders to chart a path that supports smart development while rejecting extreme deregulation.
That’s why my meetings with Sacramento's public safety leaders mean so much. Together, we focus on ensuring our efforts are efficient, forward-thinking, and responsive, so every neighbor can trust they’re protected and have the support they need in their most critical moments.
I have consistently delivered public safety solutions for the region—advancing disaster preparedness, championing next generation 9-1-1, and prioritizing access to mental health services and crisis counseling.
Sacramento prioritizes public safety. Whether it's natural disasters like floods, wildfires, or emerging threats such as organized retail crime and cyberattacks. I’m committed to strengthening and modernizing the tools we use to keep us safe—working in partnership with our public safety leaders.🧵

Year after year, we work side by side to advance policies, projects, and critical investments that keep Sacramento and the surrounding region protected and prepared. There’s no finish line when it comes to safeguarding our communities—progress must continue.
Flood protection in Sacramento isn’t optional—it’s essential. I’ve worked to deliver billions in funding to help ensure Sacramentans can live safely and with peace of mind, and that work continues. That’s why my meetings with regional flood protection and water resources leaders are so important. 🧵

As climate disasters become more frequent and severe, families are living with the real costs of a changing climate. And instead of meeting this moment with urgency, Trump is rolling back critical environmental protections and spreading disinformation about climate change.
It was great to welcome my friend, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, to connect with Sacramento regional leaders. Governor Sherrill is a dynamic leader who represents the kind of leadership needed to meet this moment and build what comes next. 🧵

Thank you to the Metro Chamber for bringing together hundreds of our regional leaders every year for Cap-to-Cap.  Sacramento shows what is possible when we come together. We collaborate, we innovate, and we deliver results. 🧵
Every second counts, and every American should have confidence that when they dial 9-1-1, help is on the way. Today, the House will pass my Kari’s Law Reporting Act, which builds on Kari’s Law by directing the FCC to report on compliance in hotels, offices, and facilities nationwide.
Kari’s Law was passed by Congress after the tragic murder of Kari Hunt, whose daughter was unable to reach emergency services from a hotel phone because she did not know she needed to dial an extra 9 for outgoing calls. In an emergency, there is no room for confusion or delay. 🧵
It also calls for recommendations to improve outage reporting, network resiliency, and coordination with state and local officials, while addressing unreported outages so call centers and first responders are not left in the dark.
During major disasters, we have seen communications fail, and too often we are left without clear answers about what went wrong or how to prevent it from happening again. My bill directs the FCC to report, after natural disasters, on when and why people cannot reach 9-1-1.
I had an excellent meeting with the California School Boards Association. Our commitment to students and future generations is fundamental to our work. I am grateful for our partnership as we navigate an administration that seeks to undermine education and the critical resources students rely on.
