Proudly Representing California's 12th Congressional District.
Republicans forced the longest government shutdown in American history AND tried to deny SNAP benefits to 42 million people during the shutdown. While Republicans were focused on cruelty, I was fighting w/ everything I had to release SNAP funding & support our children, elders, & disabled neighbors.

Time and again, Speaker Emerita Pelosi has stood courageously in the storm to defend democracy and uplift those most in need.
She reminds us daily that governance is a moral act, and that we have a communal obligation to continue to repair the breach that has taken root in this country.

At a time when millions of Americans can’t put food on the table & are being forced to work for no pay, Speaker Johnson’s refusal to bring the House of Representatives back into session is unacceptable. Republicans in Congress must immediately return to D.C. & get back to work for the people. (1/2)

As a mother and widow who has been deeply affected by the American medical system, I will NOT vote for a funding bill that does not extend ACA subsidies.
Republicans are holding Americans’ health care hostage, we must demand a funding bill that keeps health care affordable and accessible.

A judge ordered Trump to disburse SNAP benefits.Then turned around and appealed that decision, denying millions of people food and creating more confusion.
Let's be clear, while Trump throws lavish parties for his billionaire friends he is CHOOSING to cut off SNAP for 42M people across the country.
