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.

Donald Trump has shown a dangerous disregard for human life and the limits of his own authority. His reckless escalation in Iran is not leadership. It is a profound failure of judgment.
He is escalating a war he started while showing no regard for the consequences for American ...servicemembers, innocent civilians, or our national security. This is a clear demonstration that he is unfit to serve as Commander in Chief.
Congress cannot remain on the sidelines while Donald Trump drags us toward a wider conflict. The Speaker must bring Members back into session immediately to end this war, reassert Congress’s constitutional authority, and hold Donald Trump accountable.
Congratulations to the UCLA Bruins Women's Basketball Team on an incredible NCAA Championship victory! This team’s talent, determination, and heart were on full display. #VenturaCounty is especially proud to see Camarillo’s own, Gabriela Jaquez, shine on the national stage. Go Bruins! 🐻
Wishing a Happy Easter to all those celebrating across #VenturaCounty and the Conejo Valley. May this season of renewal fill your heart with hope, bring light to the days ahead, and offer meaningful moments of reflection and connection with family, friends, and loved ones.
Pam Bondi’s tenure as Attorney General will be remembered for eroding trust in the U.S. Department of Justice, mishandling the release of the Epstein files, and putting political loyalty ahead of the law. She did a disservice to our country and betrayed the fundamental promise of equal justice ...under the law.
After misleading the public about the existence of the files, she delayed and released incomplete records, shielding perpetrators and pedophiles while exposing sensitive information about survivors. When given the opportunity to take responsibility, she refused.
Her departure does not close the door on accountability. Pam Bondi can and should be called to testify before Congress, and House Democrats will continue working to uncover the truth.
Accountability is not optional. It is a fundamental part of our democracy. And we will not stop until the Department of Justice is restored to independence and integrity, free from Donald Trump’s political interference, blatant corruption, and moral bankruptcy.
Chag Pesach Sameach to all celebrating in Ventura County and the Conejo Valley. As families and loved ones gather around the Seder table, the story of Passover invites us to reflect on the meaning of freedom and the responsibility we share to uphold it. May this season bring peace, renewal, and a ...continued commitment to building a more just and compassionate world.
Donald Trump’s decision to attend Supreme Court oral arguments is not historic. It is alarming. It reflects a troubling erosion of the independence of the judiciary and a pattern of executive overreach designed to pressure the Court and bend it to his will.
But the Constitution is not ...subject to political intimidation. The 14th Amendment is unequivocal: all persons born in the United States are citizens of this country.
Donald Trump does not get to decide who is American. The Supreme Court has a duty to uphold the Constitution and reaffirm the fundamental promise of birthright citizenship that has defined our nation for generations.
Women’s History Month may be coming to a close—but the fight for progress never ends.
To all trailblazers and changemakers, we see you, we value you, and we will continue to fight beside you.
Together, we will make a better future for all women and girls.
Farmworkers have long powered our economy and led a movement for fairness and safer working conditions that continues to shape our nation today. Their labor feeds our country, and their advocacy has driven meaningful progress for workers everywhere.
On this Farmworkers Day, we lift up the ...voices and lived experiences of farmworkers, especially those whose labor and sacrifice have helped expand opportunity and move our country forward.
We stand united to defend farmworkers’ rights and demand real protections, real accountability, and fair treatment on the job, because every worker deserves to be safe, respected, and protected at work.
Today is Equal Pay Day — marking how far into 2026 women must work to catch up to what men earned in 2025. That gap is unacceptable.
Women still earn just 81 cents for every dollar paid to men, and the disparity is even worse for women of color, moms, and LGBTQ workers. This is not just ...inequity. It is a direct hit to working families and a lifetime loss that costs California women more than $350,000 in wages they earned but were never paid.
Equal pay is about fairness, economic security, and the basic promise that hard work should be valued equally.
I am fighting to close the wage gap and push back against all efforts to roll back pay transparency and accountability, because women cannot afford to wait any longer.
