Legislative Priorities
Agriculture is the cornerstone of Ventura County’s economy, supporting thousands of jobs throughout our region. It is also a proud part of our heritage, giving our community its unique beauty. In Congress, I have worked hard to support our farmers, farmworkers, and businesses that help feed the nation.
We have a sacred responsibility to those who have served our country in uniform. As a daughter, sister, and niece of veterans, I take no responsibility more personally and seriously. When I came to Congress, the very first committee I asked to serve on was the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee. Both here in Ventura County and at the national level, I have made it my priority to put our nation’s veterans first. That means helping our servicemembers transition back into civilian life and caring for our veterans by ensuring they all receive the timely, high-quality healthcare and benefits they have earned and deserve. It also means tackling veterans homelessness and unemployment and addressing high suicide rates that continue to plague our nation’s heroes. Finally, as more and more women join our Armed Forces and return home after their service, I’ve made it a special focus to ensure that the VA is prepared for the changing veteran demographics. Women represent the fastest-growing veteran population and the VA needs to adapt to meet their needs. That means making sure the VA offers gender-specific healthcare, addressing the unique circumstances leading to female veteran suicide, and providing critical wrap-around services like job-training, child care, and caregiver assistance. It’s long past time to recognize the contributions that all veterans, female and male, have made to our great nation.
We must invest in our nation’s infrastructure including our airports, roads, bridges, and waterways that are vital to the movement of people and goods across our country. As a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I have been working to address the infrastructure challenges facing Ventura County and the nation.
As Ventura County’s Representative in Congress, I view everything I do through the lens of how it will create jobs and grow our economy. From our ports, to our large and small businesses, to our naval base, to our agricultural community, I strive to advance federal policy that will support our diverse job creators.

I am honored to serve the residents of the 26th Congressional District of California.

Brownley Speaks on the Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act
Today, I was pleased to vote for the Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act, a transformational bill which includes legislation I authored to improve and expand home- and community-based services for disabled or aging veterans, their families, and their ...caregivers.
This legislation provides for the single largest expansion of long-term care services at VA in decades and will impact nearly every veteran living with catastrophic disabilities or living with the effects of aging. This package, which passed the House with bipartisan strong support, is a fitting honor for the men and women who have served our nation in uniform.
Every veteran should have the right to a dignified life after their service to our country, and every veteran should have the right to the timely, high-quality care they need and they have earned. Expanding the VA care and services in this package are an essential and long overdue step to realizing our solemn promise of serving our veterans as well as they have served our country.
Today, Congresswoman Julia Brownley issued the following statement following House passage of the Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and...
