In our district, NIH funding over $1.4 million supports Fresno State and UC Merced. Capping indirect costs at 15% endangers vital research. That's why I've joined @RepScottPeters and @RepLindaSanchez in urging the Trump Administration to stop its illegal NIH funding cuts.

Today, we celebrate President Abraham Lincoln's birthday, honoring his leadership in preserving the Union, leading the nation to Civil War victory, and issuing the Emancipation Proclamation. His legacy of courage, unity, and freedom continues to inspire us.

It is deeply concerning that Elon Musk, and his team have access to our Treasury data. They do not possess the necessary security clearances, which raises serious national security and privacy concerns. This constitutes a violation of the American people's right to privacy.

Protecting senior benefits and privacy is vital. Elon Musk's team unlawfully accessed government data, compromising sensitive information. To defend citizens' rights, I co-sponsored the Taxpayer Data Protection Act to enhance safeguards for taxpayers' personal information.

I just introduced the HPAI Act with @RepMarkAlford to tackle the avian flu that is driving egg prices through the roof. We must protect public health and keep our food supply chain strong. Learn more about our legislation⬇️

I had the privilege of meeting with Bogdan Klich, Head of Mission at the @PolishEmbassyUS, to discuss the importance of strengthening our transatlantic alliance. As Russia's war on Ukraine continues, our partnership with Poland remains critical in defending democracy.🇺🇸🇵🇱

As a member of @HouseForeign, I met with King Abdullah II and Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan. With the ceasefire in Gaza at a pivotal juncture, our focus remains on sustaining peace, preventing further conflict, and delivering essential humanitarian aid to those in need.

Energy security is national security—and it affects us all. I co-sponsored the Banning SPR Oil Exports to Foreign Adversaries Act to ensure that China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea can’t benefit from our Strategic Petroleum Reserves.

Make no mistake—tariffs are taxes on American consumers and businesses. A 25% tariff on Canada & Mexico would drive up prices on everything from groceries to cars, hurting families & businesses. We need fair trade—not higher costs!

Now, more than ever, it’s crucial that we provide community colleges like @SCCCD with the resources they need to deliver affordable, high-quality education to our students.

The federal workforce keeps our country running—from TSA agents protecting our skies to scientists safeguarding public health. Trump’s ‘buyout’ is an attempt to dismantle these essential services, putting special interests ahead of the American people.

It was great to be on @KSEE24 Sunday Morning Matters to discuss my return to the House Agriculture Committee, and efforts to protect Valley farmers. I’ll keep fighting for policies that support our farmers and the San Joaquin Valley!

Recent FAFSA changes are making it harder for farmers' kids to afford college. I’m fighting to fix this by co-sponsoring the Family Farm and Small Business Exemption Act—because no family should have to choose between their farm and their child’s future.

Today I voted to pass the Credit Union Board Modernization Act. I'm proud to be a co-sponsor of this bill because it gives well-run credit unions more flexibility to serve their communities instead of being tied up in unnecessary meetings.
