Honored to represent California's 44th District, #CA44. House Democrats Steering & Policy Co-Chair, Member of Energy and Commerce Committee, Progressive Caucus. Dodgers fan.
Happy 236th birthday to the U.S. Coast Guard! San Pedro is proud to be home to Base Los Angeles/Long Beach, where Coast Guard members protect our ports and waterways, respond to emergencies, and save lives at sea.
Seniors on fixed incomes are being squeezed by rising grocery prices and cuts to food assistance.
At Toberman Neighborhood Center yesterday in #SanPedro, we helped distribute free supplies to Harbor Area students for their first day of school as part of @housedemocrats.bsky.social #100DaysofAction to lower costs for families.
Spoke to @notus.com about how we have a cost-of-living crisis because Trump and Republicans prioritized billionaires’ tax handouts over Americans struggling to pay their bills.
Melissa’s parents used to have a $0 health insurance deductible. Now, they may have to cut back on food and gas to pay their new $1,400 deductible.
It’s the 61st anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare! During @housedemocrats.bsky.social #100DaysofAction, we celebrate these essential programs but also fight to strengthen and protect them.
During my multiple visits to the Dilley children’s prison, I saw young kids who did not get access to adequate medical care, who were suffering anxiety and trauma from the detention, who received no real schooling and cold food.
Trump canceled over $7 BILLION for clean energy projects in states like California - just to punish Americans who didn’t vote for him. It’s an abuse of power and @housedemocrats.bsky.social will hold the Trump admin accountable.
Today’s the start of @housedemocrats.bsky.social’ 100 Days of Action! The next 100 days, we’ll be talking to people across the country about our fight for an affordable America.
Lorenzo Salgado Aurajo’s death was a tragedy and never should have happened. @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social and Homeland Security Dems held a hearing in Houston to hold ICE accountable for his death and demand answers.
It’s time for Dodgers baseball — in Congress today! We celebrated our World Series champions — the Dodgers— with Miguel “Miggy” Rojas, Will Klein, and manager Dave Roberts! 💙⚾️🧢
Today, we remember and honor our dear friend, Congressman John Lewis. John was a civil rights icon and champion for the disenfranchised. He led the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge and never let down the good fight throughout his time in Congress.
This is one of the most vile and disgusting things I’ve seen someone say on Fox — which is saying something. Every Republican, SecDef Hegseth, and Donald Trump need to condemn this filth. When your policies give license to this sexist, racist, violent language, you own the consequences.
Republicans want to stop states like California from efforts to reduce air pollution from trains. This would harm families in Wilmington, San Pedro, and the Harbor Area, in my district, who live near some of the busiest rail yards in the country.
In 2025, Trump collapsed the FDA. Staff was fired or resigned, including the food safety and surveillance section. Now, Americans are facing a parasite outbreak with a warning to beware of possible spread through fruit & greens consumption. It’s no time to gut public health. We must invest in it.
Joined the hardworking men and women of ILWU Local 56 at their monthly meeting in #SanPedro! This was a chance to hear from the members who are on the ground, tackling the hazmat cleanup after fires, oil spills, and other emergencies.
Proud to have secured $4 million in community project funding for the United Harbor Area Association’s (UHAA) new Technology & Career Development Center!
We need more affordable housing in California. So I visited newly built affordable housing in #CA44 to hear directly from residents about their housing needs and challenges.

As Trump and Republicans seek to take funding away from caregiving services and support, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to make child care and senior care MORE affordable — not less.
Today, as we celebrate 250 years of American independence, we rise up to say: NO KINGS. Our founding fathers fought for a democracy in which all are equal and tyrants are not allowed. Let’s recommit to that good fight. Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
It’s been one year since Trump and Republicans signed their Big Ugly Bill. Here’s how it has hurt millions of Americans across the country (but helped Trump’s billionaire buddies):
And what about the tens of billions in fossil fuel subsidies? Americans are paying hundreds more on their utility bills because you are killing clean energy projects.
Thank you to all of our postal workers, like Carrie in San Pedro! Through every kind of weather, your dedication keeps families in #CA44 and across the country connected. Your commitment is a true lesson in service. Happy National Postal Worker Day!
Immigrants have shaped every chapter of American success. So for Immigrant Heritage Month, let’s honor the immigrants who have helped build our country and recognize the pivotal role they play in our national story. #ImmigrantHeritageMonth
The ROAD to Housing Act is a step towards making sure housing is affordable for millions of Americans, as costs continue to skyrocket. Americans should be able to afford to put a roof over their heads. Trump should stop staring down the clock and sign this bill.
Joined #HarborGateway South Neighborhood Council’s Game Night! Families got together, played games, enjoyed free tacos, and learned about park programs and resources. I spent time with families in the neighborhood where I grew up — and I got to talk baseball with our Youth Baseball Spring League!
Sharing this moment with so many of our young sports stars and families from all over #CA44 was special. This investment will be used to install new lighting and security cameras, to help make the park even safer and more accessible.
Celebrated securing federal funding to upgrade the #Wilmington Athletic Complex!
