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.

The long-overdue ceasefire and hostage agreement between Israel and Hamas represents a significant step toward de-escalating the conflict and fostering peace in the region. This agreement is a testament to the tireless diplomatic efforts of President Biden, whose leadership was instrumental in ...facilitating this agreement. His commitment to peace and security has not only brought relief to the families of Israeli and American hostages but also opened a path for urgent humanitarian aid to reach those suffering in Gaza.
This milestone offers hope for a long-term resolution to the crisis, underscoring America's unwavering support for Israel while also addressing the urgent humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people. The path towards lasting peace and stability is ongoing, but today marks an important moment of progress.
Investments from the #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw are creating jobs and promoting cleaner, greener, safer and more accessible transportation.
Today, my colleagues and I on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure are discussing how we’re working to build on these ...investments to transform our nation’s infrastructure.
Organizational Meeting and Full Committee Hearing on “America Builds: The State of the Nation’s Transportation System”
www.youtube.comSecuring a better, safer future for our children has always been my top priority in Congress, and it remains at the heart of everything I do. In stark contrast, House Republicans are dangerously targeting trans youth to push an anti-LGBTQ agenda – one that puts vulnerable children at risk.
...
Instead of attacking children, House Republicans need to focus on ensuring every child can live and attend school without fear. Last year, more than 5,000 children were killed or wounded by firearms in this country. Yet Republicans have failed to take any meaningful action on commonsense gun safety legislation.
Republicans should stop using children as political pawns and prioritize creating safe environments for all children. H.R. 28 is a direct attack on America's youth, and our kids deserve better.
386,000 women serve in our nation’s Armed Forces. They deserve leadership that respects and values their service, not someone like Pete Hegseth, who has openly denigrated the contributions of women in our military. There are also serious concerns about his history of substance abuse, financial ...mismanagement, and treatment of women. I urge my Senate colleagues to oppose this nomination. Our nation and our servicemembers deserve better.
According to the National Weather Service, a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) wind event accompanied by Red Flag Warnings is expected to impact #VenturaCounty and West Los Angeles County from Monday, January 13, through Wednesday, January 15.
