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.
The 26th District
The district includes most of Ventura County and a portion of Los Angeles County, including the cities of Oxnard, Santa Paula, Fillmore, Camarillo, Newbury Park, Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, and Calabasas. If you are interested in browsing district-specific population statistics, you can look up Census data for the 26th District. I am honored to serve the residents of the 26th Congressional District of California.

The Communications Bureau of the Simi Valley Police Department is a critical link between the community and response units in the field. 911 dispatchers work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and handle over 40,000 emergency and non-emergency calls each year.
Recently, I was able to secure ...federal funding for Simi Valley’s 911 Live Implementation Project, a new system that provides officers with real time updates alongside dispatchers that will significantly enhance the delivery of life-saving help.
In Congress, I am committed to ensuring that our dedicated law enforcement and public safety professionals have the best equipment and tools to support their mission to keep our communities safe.

#LatinoHeritageMonth is a celebration of the rich history, culture, and contributions of the Latino community. This month is a reminder that diversity is our strength and that we should take pride in the different cultures and stories that shape our great nation.
Across the nation, Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are helping Latino students achieve their dream of a college degree. 🎓 This #HSIWeek, we celebrate the contributions of HSIs that serve nearly two-thirds of all Latino undergraduates.
I am proud to join my colleagues in ...recognizing the role of HSIs – including CSU Channel Islands, Oxnard College, Moorpark College, Ventura College, and California Lutheran University – in empowering generations of Latino students. By providing culturally competent resources and supportive environments, HSIs are creating more equitable educational opportunities and transforming lives.
Did you know that this year marks the 100th anniversary of the 146th Airlift Wing making it one of the oldest Air National Guard units in the country? Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the Channel Islands Air National Guard Station, meet with Colonel Chris Dougherty, and see firsthand the ...extraordinary work of the men and women of the Hollywood Guard.
In addition to supporting U.S. and allied forces during contingency operations with tactical airlift, the 146th is a critical asset to firefighting efforts in our state and throughout the country. In Congress, I have been working to upgrade our nation’s aerial firefighting system known as MAFFS to ensure the 146th has the state-of-the-art technology and aircraft essential to fighting wildfires. Most recently, the House adopted my amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, providing an additional $20 million to complete the acquisition of the new, improved C-130 iMAFFS system for the four MAFFS units across the country.
I remain committed to supporting the men and women of the 146th Airlift Wing with the resources they need to carry out their mission.
Since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, women across America have been left without access to essential reproductive health care. That is why I am proud to join my Pro-Choice Caucus colleagues in introducing a resolution to reaffirm a woman’s right to emergency abortion care.
...
As the fight for reproductive freedom continues, I remain committed to fighting for women’s bodily autonomy and ensuring that everyone can make the best decisions for their bodies, their lives, and their futures.
