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 Trump administration’s raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s home is an outrageous abuse of power and a deeply troubling escalation in the weaponization of the federal government against political adversaries.
After years of hateful rhetoric and personal attacks targeting ...Congresswoman Omar and Somali Americans, this latest act of political intimidation is reckless and dangerous. Congresswoman Omar is a dedicated public servant who has spent her career fighting for the people she represents. This blatant political stunt not only puts her and her family in harm’s way, but also threatens the democratic principles and freedoms that protect us all.
We cannot remain silent in the face of government intimidation. To do so would be to accept the erosion of our democracy and allow this administration’s abuses of power to go unchecked.
Indigenous peoples have a history spanning thousands of years across our country, with vibrant cultures, time-honored traditions, and a rich heritage that continues to enrich our society.
Across Ventura County and California’s Central Coast, Indigenous communities, including the Chumash,... have maintained deep ancestral ties to the region for countless generations. Their connection to the land and waters reflects a profound understanding of the natural world and reminds us of the importance of protecting and preserving these resources.
On #IndigenousPeoplesDay and every day, we honor the invaluable contributions, deep-rooted histories, and resilience of Indigenous peoples and reaffirm our commitment to listening to, learning from, and standing alongside Indigenous communities across our nation.
It has been three years since Hamas launched its horrific terrorist attack on October 7, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 innocent people hostage.
Today, we remember the lives so brutally taken and stand with the families whose loved ones were killed or taken hostage, the survivors who ...continue to carry unimaginable trauma, and Jewish communities in Israel and around the world who were forever changed by the horrors of that day.
As we honor the victims and all those impacted by this tragedy, we must continue working toward a lasting peace.

Dolly Parton was a phenomenal musician, actor, songwriter, and performer, but her impact reached far beyond the stage. She was also a true humanitarian who used her success to lift others up, from helping fund lifesaving vaccine research and standing with the LGBTQ community to putting more than ...300 million books into the hands of children around the world.
Dolly showed us that kindness can be powerful, generosity can change lives, and each of us can make the world a little brighter.
Dolly will remain forever in our hearts, and her music, generosity, and unmistakable spirit will continue to inspire generations to come.
It is only fitting that California has chosen “9 to 5” to celebrate this American icon, officially recognizing September 25 as Dolly Parton Day.
Wishing a sweet and meaningful Rosh Hashanah to Jewish communities across Ventura County, the Conejo Valley, and around the world.
At a time when acts of antisemitism continue to threaten the safety and sense of belonging of our Jewish neighbors, we must stand together against hatred in ...all its forms.
May the new year bring peace, joy, good health, and renewed hope. L’Shanah Tovah!
