Real change doesn’t start in D.C. It starts with neighbors organizing, showing up, and pushing leaders to act with urgency. That’s the kind of campaign I am building in CA-02.

He pushed for universal healthcare long before it was mainstream, insisting that care is a right, not a privilege. And he urged that human rights apply everywhere, connecting struggles at home with those abroad, including Palestinian rights.

Keep hope alive. 🕊️

I’m running to protect the freedoms we’ve earned. That includes federal non-discrimination protections like the Equality Act, and practical solutions that improve privacy for everyone.

When powerful institutions quietly decide who can and can’t speak, democracy weakens.

We don’t fix disagreement with silence. We fix it with open debate and public accountability.

End corruption. Protect independent voices.

Jesse Jackson spent his life pushing America to be more inclusive, more just, and more democratic. His legacy reminds us that change happens when ordinary people come together.

Rest in power.. 🕊️

When companies plan price hikes, Washington has a choice: protect families or protect politics. I’m for lowering everyday costs in CA-02, not policies that make basics more expensive while the well-connected get breaks.

Happy Presidents Day.

Today is a reminder that leadership is public service, and power is something we lend to leaders, not something they own.

In CA-02, people deserve a government that listens, tells the truth, and delivers real help. That’s the kind of representation I’m running to provide.

Grateful to sit down with folks in Eureka to talk about housing, healthcare, and the rising cost of living in CA-02.

This campaign is people-powered. No corporate PAC money. Just community, conversation, and organizing.

Humboldt deserves representation that answers to you.

We had a wonderful evening at the Operating Engineers Local 3 District 40 Crab Feed in Eureka. Amazing food, music, and people.

I’m running to put working people first and to fight for an economy where a union job means real security for your family.

I’m running because too many families are working hard and still falling behind.

We need policies that lower everyday costs and strengthen financial stability for working families in CA-02.

Healthcare costs are eating into Social Security checks.

When premiums and prescription prices rise but benefits stay flat, seniors fall behind — including many here in the North State.

We can protect Social Security and lower drug costs.

One of the boldest ideas on the table is simple: workers should have real ownership and real power. Setting aside shares for employees is democracy at work, not just in politics but in the economy.

If we keep defaulting to the same establishment playbook, we keep recreating the conditions that produce the next Trump. The way out is building real alternatives and electing leaders who will change the rules, not just the faces.

Trump posted a racist video depicting the Obamas as apes, then deleted it and blamed a staffer. Not accountability. It’s a distraction tactic. We’re not normalizing it. We’re focused on Medicare for All, ending endless wars, wildfire resilience, and workers. People. Peace. Planet.

Another brutal murder by ICE in Minneapolis. Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who spent his life saving others, was shot and killed by federal agents while pinned to the ground.

We don’t need "reform." Pull federal agents out of our cities and #AbolishICE now.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

On Jan. 10 at the Sundial Bridge in Redding California, I stood with our community for Renee Nicole Good.

As a member of Congress, I will fight to ensure tragedies like this do not continue without accountability:  ICE cannot operate with secrecy, escalation, and impunity.

Today in Redding, I stood with hundreds calling for accountability and justice after the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Nicole Good during an ICE operation in Minneapolis. I listened, spoke with the community, and gathered signatures for our people-powered CA-02 campaign.
