Proudly Representing California's 12th Congressional District.
@replsimon.bsky.socialAs the Trump Administration slashes funding for vital programs like Head Start and Medicaid/MediCAL, Whip Clark and I are hell bent on fighting and reversing these cuts so that every person and every family to have the resources they deserve.
@replsimon.bsky.socialWe heard from teachers, parents and children as well as nurses, doctors, and patients about what these federally supported care programs mean to them and the communities they serve.
@replsimon.bsky.socialThis week, I welcomed @whipkclark.bsky.social to Oakland's Fruitvale Transit Village where we visited the Unity Council’s Head Start facility and the federally qualified health center, Clínica De La Raza.
@demwomencaucus.bsky.socialReposted by @replsimon.bsky.socialFair pay for Latinas strengthens families, communities, and our economy.
Today, marks #LatinaEqualPayDay. We won’t stop fighting until all women are paid what they earned.
@scanlon.house.govReposted by @replsimon.bsky.socialOur democracy thrives when every eligible voter is able to participate, and these bills will remove barriers that too often make it more difficult for American citizens to vote. @replsimon.bsky.social @repdean.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @sylviagarcia.house.gov
@replsimon.bsky.socialThank you to everyone who has taken the time to share their voice and make these town halls meaningful. The work continues.
@replsimon.bsky.socialLast month, I hit the final city on my 2026 town hall tour where I hosted a town hall in every city I represent & spoke to neighbors in every city in CA12. Your perspectives & concerns on issues that impact our communities are invaluable to me as I fight for the protections and resources we deserve.
@replsimon.bsky.social👉🏾Demanding the Government Accountability Office open an investigation into the Trump Administration’s potentially inappropriate use of the Defense Production Act for funding of the proposed coal export terminal.
@replsimon.bsky.socialI am proud to be a partner in this fight on the federal level and have been taking action since the day funding was announced by: 👉🏾Filing an amendment to the FY 2027 Energy and Water Appropriations bill that would prohibit funding for the terminal, Republicans blocked that amendment.
@replsimon.bsky.socialThank you to @asmmiabonta.bsky.social and @governor.ca.gov for being partners in this fight at the state level, and getting AB 40 across the finish line. to strengthen environmental requirements and ensure no large-scale coal terminal opens in California without strong environmental standards.
@replsimon.bsky.socialI will continue to work with local partners and use every tool at my disposal in Congress to stop this proposed coal terminal and protect our communities across the East Bay.
@replsimon.bsky.socialAs chair of @usprogressives.bsky.social Task Force on Combatting NGO Attacks, I am bringing the knowledge I gained while running and working within these organizations to Congress and fighting these illegal and partisan attacks from the Trump Admin.
@replsimon.bsky.socialBy informing the public, advocating for change, and protecting the right of every American to participate in civic life, these organizations are critical to the American democratic tapestry and must be protected.
@replsimon.bsky.socialThese organizations are on the front lines of serving communities -- providing food, healthcare, legal services, disaster relief, and support for families.
@replsimon.bsky.socialI spent decades leading nonprofit organizations like Akonadi Foundation, MeadowFund, and the Young Women's Freedom Center, and I know that attacks and cuts to nonprofits and civil society institutions hurt us ALL.
@replsimon.bsky.socialThis report from House Administration Committee RM @morelle.house.gov confirms what we’ve known to be true - there’s a systematic effort by the Trump Admin. to weaponize government authority against civil society institutions & nonprofits for representing views that go against the Republican Party.
@replsimon.bsky.social🚨ATTN BART RIDERS🚨
I secured $850,000 in federal funding for LED lighting upgrades at 9 @bart.gov stations across CA-12!
This new lighting will help to make stations safer & more energy efficient. Keep an eye out for upgrades at YOUR home station this Bay Area Transit Month & in the coming months.
@replsimon.bsky.socialCongratulations to the Valkyries on their playoff win Sunday night. Looking forward to game 2 tonight - you make the Bay Area proud!
@replsimon.bsky.socialI know this fight intimately, and I am fighting in Congress to make sure cancer research and care is funded and accessible.
@replsimon.bsky.socialIt has been 12 years since I lost my husband Kevin to a rare form of cancer called T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia. Before he passed, Kevin participated in a clinical trial that gave him two more years of life - invaluable time for our young family.
