I started my career as a dispatcher, and I know the skill, pressure, and responsibility that comes with being the voice on the other end. 911 dispatchers are first responders. I’m working to make sure our laws recognize them as such. Thank you, Elex Michaelson, for shining a light.

They attacked our Capitol. Now they want American taxpayers to pay them for it. I’ve fought to ensure taxpayer dollars protect our democracy, not rewrite what happened on Jan 6. Don’t ask Americans to pay for the fiction that attacking the Capitol was protected political expression.
Trump is using your tax dollars to fund propaganda. Calling an ad about a “final battle” a public service announcement doesn’t make it one. This Administration is trying to silence dissent. Americans deserve information from their government, not political messaging paid for with their own money.
This National Police Week, I was honored to welcome the San Bernardino County Police Department and Ontario Police Department.
Their work keeps our communities safe every day. I’m grateful for their service, sacrifice, and continued commitment to protecting our communities.
The American justice system is not for sale. Reports that DOJ may drop fraud charges against a billionaire with powerful political ties raise serious concerns about who justice serves. We cannot allow fairness to be traded to the highest bidder.
Proud to join the bipartisan U.S.-Mexico Caucus to strengthen cooperation between the United States and Mexico. From trade and security to economic opportunity, this partnership impacts millions every day. At a time of growing tensions, we must build bridges, not barriers.
During National Police Week, we honor the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our communities. We remember Timothy Corlew, Hector Cuevas Jr., and Andrew Nunez and all 363 officers killed in the line of duty this year. Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

TORRES: When is the White House going to submit a disaster package for California? If you're not able to answer that question---
TURNER: Part of the problem is with CA leadership
TORRES: There shouldn't be any mention of any supplemental, like the illegal Iran war, without giving CA what it needs
CA pays the bills, funds the agencies, and subsidizes the country. But when it’s our turn, when 7:10 fire survivors still can’t go home, suddenly the checkbook is closed? We sent $275B more than we got back last year. CA is tired of funding this government only to be abandoned.
It was great to see NASA astronaut Victor Glover at the Capitol today.
Always proud to see someone from Pomona reach the highest levels and represent our communities in such an incredible way. His journey with the #Artemis program continues to inspire so many young people back home.
Trump promised to lower costs on Day One. Instead, his reckless handling of the war with Iran is driving up gas prices, fueling inflation, and making life more expensive. While billionaires cash in on his tax giveaways, Americans are paying more at the pump and at the grocery store.
It was a privilege to recognize local Vietnam Veteran Richard Beasom for his service and sacrifice with a commemorative lapel pin honoring the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War.
If you know a Vietnam Veteran who should receive this recognition, please contact my District Office at (909) 481-6474
The only thing "unhinged" here is a President calling for a private "army" to hover over legal voters. This blatant attempt to bully Americans out of their right to vote is pathetic. Our democracy doesn’t belong to anyone.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, abuelas, tias, and mother figures across #CA35.
Thank you for all the love, care, and sacrifices you give your families every day. I hope you feel celebrated today.
Pomona residents: the Ganesha Park Stairs are now open! This exciting project was made possible by $3 million in federal funding secured through my annual Community Project Funding process.
I’m proud to deliver investments that strengthen our #CA35 communities and improve quality of life.
I’m inspired by the leadership and compassion shown by the seniors at San Antonio High School! These students designed, fundraised, and built a “Kindness Den” at Sumner Elementary School to provide hygiene products, school supplies, and food to students in need.
En este Día de las Madres, honramos algo fundamental: la voz de nuestras madres. Una voz que cuida, que guía y que tantas veces sostiene a nuestras familias en silencio.
Reconocemos su valor y reafirmamos nuestro compromiso de escucharla, respetarla y protegerla.
ICE raids don’t just impact immigrant communities, they are also hurting American workers, lowering employment and destabilizing local economies. This fear-based approach is not a solution. We need immigration policy rooted in order, fairness, and real economic sense, not cruelty.
During Wildfire Preparedness Week, I encourage every family in the IE to take steps to stay safe and prepared.
🔥 Sign up for emergency alerts: ready.ca.gov/alerts
🔥 Create a wildfire action plan: ReadyForWildfire.org
🔥 Access emergency resources: ListosCalifornia.org
Preparation saves lives.
It was a privilege to serve as the keynote speaker at the Veterans Resource Center’s Graduation Celebration. Celebrating this milestone alongside those who have served our country was truly special. As a former Blue Star, congratulations to all the graduates!
