It’s official: I’m running for Congress to represent San Francisco!

Let’s build the future our city & country deserve.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

The social worker murdered at San Francisco General Hospital dedicated his life to the community, including the LGBTQ community. Rest in peace — & loving energy to his partner & other family & friends.
Too many health care workers are at risk of violence & we must do more to protect them.

It’s hard to overstate how cruel & evil this is. These are people who’ve qualified to take the citizenship oath. Are there any red lines these bigots won’t cross?

As the Supreme Court prepares to take up Trump’s extremist effort to end birthright citizenship, let’s remember this isn’t only about the children of current undocumented people. It’s also about tens of millions of second & third generation citizens whose citizenship would be immediately in doubt.

The death cult strikes again, opposing vaccinating babies for Hep B. Children can get Hep B in childcare or at home. It can lead to lifelong illness & cancer.
These are the same folks who don’t want teens vaccinated for HPV, putting them at risk for cervical, penile & anal cancer.
Truly psychotic.

He said Mexican immigrants were rapists.
He said Haitian immigrants were eating cats & dogs.
He said immigrants were “poisoning the blood of our country.”
Let’s be clear: Trump & his ilk are the ones poisoning our nation’s blood. Let’s extract the poison & throw his ass out.

We must continue California’s long legacy as the national leader in scientific progress. This $23 billion ballot measure will protect research across our universities, hospitals, and labs. While Trump defunds science, California is building the infrastructure to save it.

Trump, Miller, Noem, et al, continue to lie that their mass deportations are focused on criminals. That’s not true, a big percentage of people — particularly in blue areas — have no criminal charges.
This isn’t a public safety campaign. It’s a xenophobic, racial profiling campaign.

I wrote California’s landmark law forcing insurers to cover necessary treatment for ALL mental health and substance use disorders, and to stop them from delaying or denying care. In Congress, I’ll keep fighting for stronger protections and access to quality healthcare.

This new major survey confirms what we’ve seen for some time: antisemitism is surging, including more people seeing Jews as “threats” & “disloyal” to the U.S. & fewer willing to stand up & have Jews’ backs.

We’re also holding federal officials accountable for their lawlessness. I passed a law to ban them from wearing ski masks. I’m now advancing legislation to let people sue them for violating people’s rights.

From protecting Muni service to expanding regional transit investments, I have worked to ensure the Bay Area has the abundant and efficient transit system our communities deserve. Now, I'm ready to take that fight to congress. Vote June 2nd, 2026.

Social security is the most effective programs in history in lifting seniors out of poverty. Let’s stabilize it for the long run by no longer capping withholding (current cap is $184,500) — either increase the cap or have it restart again at a higher income, such as $500K or $1M.

Thanks to a new law I wrote, California now has statewide standards enabling cities to build more homes near transit, protect renters, and provide affordable housing. I’ve spent my career taking on California's housing crisis. Now I’m ready to bring that fight to Washington.

The “we can’t possibly build more homes because our infrastructure isn’t perfect” argument is ubiquitous in San Francisco housing debates.
It’s effectively saying “sorry, no home for you until all infrastructure is perfect — go live 100 miles away.”
The argument is also factually baseless:
