ICYMI: I spoke with @abc7news.bsky.social at last week’s town hall on refineries in Martinez about the urgent need for policy reforms to address safety issues.

This year, I fought to bring back federal funding totaling more than $16 million for projects right here in our community.

I was proud to deliver a check for $1,200,000 to the Contra Costa County Public Works Department to close a gap in the County-wide bicycle network in Pacheco and ensure safety for all road users.

These Education Listening Tours are one of my favorite ways to connect with bright young people in CA-10 and I look forward to bringing their ideas and concerns back to Capitol Hill.

I recently joined students at California High School in San Ramon to discuss my work in Congress and hear about the federal issues that are top of mind for them.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day we honor and recognize the native peoples of the East Bay, including the Ohlone, Bay Miwok, and Northern Valley Yokut, who first stewarded this land and some of whom continue to call it home.

Everyone deserves access to the health care, support, and resources they need to thrive. Many of you know that this issue is personal to me. This World Mental Health Day, join me in recommitting to ending the stigma and making mental healthcare more accessible to all.

Thanks to the Los Medanos students today for sharing their time and bright ideas about how to make education more accessible and affordable in our area.

As I have shared, during a previous Education Listening Tour, a student brought forward an issue with textbook costs and I later supported federal funding to address that very issue on local campuses.

I joined students at Los Medandos College’s Brentwood Campus today for a roundtable discussion to hear directly from students about the federal issues that matter to them and about the areas for improvement in higher education.

There is still work to do to address the shortage of air traffic controllers and upgrade aging airport infrastructure, but I will continue to lead this safety fight for Buchanan Field, Bay Area airports, and airports across the country.

This afternoon I visited Buchanan Field Airport as part of my ongoing Transportation Listening Tour to meet with representatives from the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.

I am looking forward to this evening’s town hall on refineries in Martinez! If you still want to join us in person at 6:00 p.m., call my Walnut Creek District Office at (925) 933-2660 to RSVP and receive the location.

Trump’s economy is simply not working for CA-10 or for the American people. To discuss how House Democrats are working in Congress to lower the cost of living, I am hosting a virtual Town Hall on Affordability on Tuesday, October 20th at 3:00 p.m.

Thanks to President Trump’s disastrous war in Iran and other policies, gas prices are at a record high, grocery bills continue to climb, and for some families in our community, healthcare costs more than doubled this year.

This morning, I was joined by Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder Kristin Connelly and we sat down with students at Monte Vista High School in Danville to discuss youth civic engagement, election security, and my day-to-day work in Congress on behalf of CA-10.
