While I tested negative earlier this week, I tested positive for COVID-19 this morning.
Per health guidelines, I’m suspending in-person campaign events this week & isolating. Thanks, as always, for your support.
I am proud to have
@UFWupdates
endorsement as I seek re-election in the new CA18. I look forward to the campaign & to fighting with farm workers & others for fairness, worker protections, & our true American values.
The UFW is proud to endorse the immigration reform champion
@ZoeLofgren
for Congress in the new CA-18 district. A decade ago, she was the first member of Congress to accept our invitation to spend a day in the fields. She has consistently been a staunch and pragmatic advocate.
It was my honor to be present as
@Google
committed to invest another $3.5B in California!
Plus, I was able to announce
@Googleorg
’s additional grants of $500K for San Jose nonprofits that will uplift homeless individuals, families, & overlooked communities.
Now that we know the final results from the California Citizens Redistricting Commission's work, it is my honor & privilege to announce that I'm running for re-election in 2022 in the newly-drawn CA-18. (1/4)
President
@JoeBiden
is a patriot with a lifelong commitment to our democracy. I respect him & am grateful to him. I am confident that voters will quickly coalesce to defeat Donald Trump, who is unfit for office. For America’s future.
California’s House Democrats know how lucky we’ve been to have
@KamalaHarris
fighting for our state’s priorities & our country’s values as our Senator.
Now, every American will be lucky to have her fighting for a brighter future as our next VP.

Today would've been
#C
ésarChávez' 95th birthday. I celebrate the legacy of our hometown hero w/the people of the new CA-18 today & every day.
Specifically, I call on the Senate to pass my Farm Workforce Modernization Act ASAP in his honor.

2022 Campaign Kick-Off Weekend Finale
Stop 4️⃣: Evening in San Jose
What a pleasure to be joined by old & new friends as we recommitted ourselves to lifting up hardworking families & preserving our democracy.
Thanks to everyone on Team Lofgren involved in this special weekend!
Sad to learn of the passing of glass-ceiling breaking Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. She is a role model for women, refugees, & exemplifies the promise of the American dream.
2022 Campaign Kick-Off Weekend Continues!
Stop 3️⃣: Lunch in Watsonville
Enjoyed the delicious lunch at Jalisco w/ a strong, supportive group.
Special thanks to my friends

@RobertRivas_CA

Stay tuned for more tomorrow…
Having a great day in Salinas w/
@RobertRivas_CA
& Monterey, San Benito & Santa Cruz County leaders. I appreciate the support from new & old friends.
Just know “Latinos for Lofgren” is really “Lofgren for Latinos” bc I’ll never stop fighting for our area’s hardworking families!
#RBG
was still working w/metastatic pancreatic cancer, at 87 years old, in midst of a pandemic.
She held on as long as her body allowed, trying to outlive the Trump Presidency.
Let’s honor her memory and be inspired by her tenacity and let nothing stand in our way to vote.🇺🇸
It was wonderful to be with so many old and new friends today. The fight for equality for everyone continues. We cannot rest. Happy Pride Silicon Valley! 🏳️🌈
It also includes cities & communities in San Benito & Monterey counties all the way to the San Luis Obispo County line. I look forward to meeting new families & entrepreneurs, as well as the chance to represent many farmworkers I've had the pleasure to work with before. (4/4)
Proud to once again march with my friends, neighbors, constituents, and fellow concerned American women — and men — in today’s Women’s March in San Jose.

As the Chair of the CA Democratic Congressional Delegation, I am proud to support
@ChristyforCA25
and I will be doing everything I can to help her win the CA25 special election on May 12th. I hope you’ll pitch in and help too.
We need your help. I am the Democratic nominee in a special Congressional election on May 12. Please retweet this ad we just went on TV with today. America is hurting - but our community is strong - and we’ll get through this - together.
Thank you to everyone who has stood by me in the fight for hardworking families & our democracy.
For those in the areas of my old district & new: I hope I have earned your trust, support, & vote.
It’s been a long 2 years. But after resisting, marching, protesting, and organizing - I am more determined and energized than ever. We’ve seen Americans come out and be active in a way that we haven’t witnessed in generations. We have fought hard. (1/3)
Wishing everyone a happy and safe 4th of July. We have a lot to celebrate and much to be proud of as a nation — but the work and the promise to create that more perfect Union continues on. And I am more energized than ever to help lead that fight. 🇺🇸
The district will continue through my current district in Morgan Hill, San Martin & Gilroy, & expand to include more of the Gilroy community I've gotten to know over the years. (3/4)
The President has lost it. After saying 68 times during his campaign that he would wipe out Obamacare, he now says the Democrats (who created it) would “obliterate” it. Truth doesn’t matter to him.
I am honored to be on the ballot for re-election in the new CA-18, which includes my home in San Jose & encompasses communities in Santa Clara, Monterey, Santa Cruz, & San Benito counties.
No makeup? No pantsuit? No problem.
I’ve got the must-have accessory for spring.
I’m wearing a mask (and voting!) for my country, my community, and my grandchildren.

Hard to believe, but today already marks just one year until Primary Day in CA. Make sure you are registered to vote!
#RegisterToVote

CA-18 will include my home in downtown San Jose continuing into East San Jose (which I’ve been honored to represent for many years) & run past the Anderson Dam (which we're retrofitting for public safety). (2/4)
So appreciative & inspired by the community leaders I’ve been meeting already.
Adding parts of the Central Coast to my Santa Clara County constituency is an honor.

' top story today.
"There's a lot at stake in immigration court, yet the current system is not structured to deliver justice fairly... The stakes are very, very high" for immigrant families.
“You never know when immigration issues touch your community or your family,” [Lofgren] said. “We should all be for the rule of law, and that's what this is about."
“Lofgren, a San Jose Democrat, chairs the immigration subcommittee of the House judiciary panel and is a longtime leader on immigration policy in Washington.”
And I know that you and I have truly given it our all. Today, our American values and ideals are on the ballot. Our decisions will shape not only the next 2 years but will affect future generations. If you haven’t yet voted, go vote! (2/3)
In all my years doing oversight in the House & Senate I never saw a witness display the type of arrogance & contempt for democracy that Matt Whitaker did today. He should read the Constitution, which clearly gives Congress the duty of oversight. Then he should tell the truth.
Under CA's top-2 primary rules, every Dem needs 2vote on Tues 2make sure great Dems in 10 Red2Blue seats advance. CA can lead
#BlueWave
, but only if votes 2change Rep majority are cast Tues - ask your neighbors, bother your friends, nag your family until every Dem you know votes!
Women: Getting things done in the 116th.
“Both women have cultivated reputations as dogged negotiators, making deals with a graciousness that might belie their tenacity.”
And make sure your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers — and anyone you see on the street — does too! Thank you for everything. Let’s do this. 🇺🇸💙

“I want to thank Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren... She is leading the charge as we are working to flip red districts blue here in CA... When we win, it will be because of you.” State Sen President Pro Tem Toni Atkins
2 weeks ago I was proud to host my Women’s Lunch and 2020 campaign kickoff. I was even more proud that my friend Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi sent a special welcome and offered her full-throttle endorsement of my 2020 re-election.
Kicked off my 2018 campaign last night with friends and supporters in San Jose. Thanks to everyone who joined us! Check out more photos from last night on my campaign Facebook page:
A few weeks ago we had a great gathering of Democratic activists in San Jose for our 2018 Activist Summit. Democrats are fired up — and ready to make calls, knock on doors, and VOTE to win the House this November!
#BlueWave
A poll earlier this year found that one in five Americans has taken part in a march or protest since the 2016 election. 20 percent of them had never taken action before. The number one motivating issue? Support for women’s rights. I predict we will see that reflected today.
I am so grateful that my friend
@toniatkins
joined us yesterday for my Women’s Luncheon and 2020 campaign kickoff. Toni is a real trailblazer and a true inspiration to me and to so many others... and I am absolutely honored to have her endorsement and support for my re-election.
I'll say it again:
@ZoeLofgren
is the right person, in the right place, at the right time. I am delighted to strongly endorse her re-election to the Congress of the United States.
Great news today — especially in CA45 — as we work to flip the House in November! Keep making phone calls, knocking on doors, and talking to friends. Do not relent in this final stretch to Election Day!

Hi Zoe! 👋🏽 First off, thanks for listening to that! Secondly, they did pronounce my name correctly... Zoe like “Joe” or “Zo”. Hope you’re having a great July 4th!! — Zoe (like Joe!)
After carefully studying the data and the candidates in the race, I enthusiastically endorse
@HarleyRouda
for Congress. It’s important to keep the focus on our goal: defeat Dana Rohrabacher and win the House. Harley has the best chance to win and he’s right on the issues.
