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.

My office has worked on more than 14,000 constituent cases for individuals and families throughout #VenturaCounty and the Conejo Valley who needed assistance with a federal agency – including the Buck family from #NewburyPark.
Ronnie Buck was a U.S. Navy veteran who passed away during ...the early years of the pandemic. Upon his passing, his family received a copy of his DD214, which informed them that Ronnie was the recipient of three medals, including the Vietnam Service Medal and National Defense Service Medal. Wanting to know more about his father’s medals, Ronnie’s son reached out to my office to see if we could procure any information regarding his father’s service.
My staff promptly reached out to the National Archives and Records Administration for Ronnie’s service records, and my office was able to retrieve replacement medals for his family. Recently, I had the honor of presenting the Buck family with Ronnie’s medals.
Constituent services continue to be my top priority! If you or someone you know needs assistance with a federal agency, please do not hesitate to call my office at (805) 379-1779. I am here to help!
