It was wonderful to meet with Suhani, Erika, and Mirela, the 2026 Congressional Gold Award Medalists from CA-19. Their commitment to service, personal growth, and their communities is inspiring. It is leaders like these bright young students who give us hope for our future.

H-1B recipients in CA-19 and across the country care for our loved ones, educate the next generation, and fuel our innovation economy. Glad the courts are continuing to serve as a bulwark against this Administration’s senseless $100,000 H-1B visa fee, so we can keep our

100 days into the war in Iran, Americans are paying the price of this war at the pump, at the grocery store, and with the lives of our men and women in uniform. This Administration still has not provided the American people with a strategic plan or definition of victory, and I

A cancer patient in my district was at risk of losing her employment based health insurance due to long processing times with USCIS for her work permit renewal. She reached out to me for help, and I immediately contacted the agency to expedite the process and get her case

When dealing with the loss of a loved one, the last thing you should have to deal with is the IRS. After a constituent asked if I could help secure their recently deceased mother’s 2024 tax return from the IRS, I stepped in and helped submit the proper documents to the agency on
