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.

Attention Ventura County residents!
As this extreme heat pattern continues, the risk of fire remains an elevated and active threat to the region. I am monitoring the #HolserFire in Lake Piru, which is presently at 167 acres. Several communities in the area are currently under evacuation ...orders and warnings.
Please remain alert, exercise caution, and follow all instructions from local officials.

Happy #805Day! Today, we celebrate the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant communities that shape Ventura County.
From the beaches of Oxnard and Port Hueneme to the trails and parks of Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley, to the agricultural lands of Santa Paula and Camarillo and the small ...businesses that anchor our downtowns, Ventura County is defined not only by its natural beauty, but by the people who call it home. Our teachers, first responders, farmworkers, and neighbors show up for one another every single day, and that spirit is what makes our county so special.
Here's to celebrating Ventura County, today and always.
On this #InternDay, I want to recognize the interns in my DC and district offices for their passion, hard work, and commitment to public service. Whether they're supporting the legislative process or assisting with constituent services, they consistently rise to every challenge with ...professionalism, enthusiasm, and heart.
Their fresh perspectives, dedication, and genuine desire to serve our community make a meaningful difference each and every day. Public service isn't always easy, but they continue to show up ready to learn, contribute, and strengthen the project of our democracy.
To all of our interns: thank you for your service, your dedication, and your belief in the importance of this work.
When five-year-old Liam Ramos was detained by ICE while walking home from school, he was transferred to the Dilley Trailer Prison in Texas. Liam's unlawful detention brought national attention to the cruelty of Donald Trump's immigration policies. But Liam's story is not unique. ...Infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and teenagers are detained there every day.
These children belong in school, at home with their families, and surrounded by the care every child deserves. Instead, they are being subjected to unsanitary living conditions, contaminated food and water, and inadequate access to medical care. Many are held for more than 30 days, and some for more than 50 days, despite the longstanding policy limiting the detention of children to no more than 20 days. All so Donald Trump can advance his cruel mass detention and deportation agenda.
I'm demanding that Trump #ShutDownDilley immediately and release these children.
We cannot normalize this level of cruelty in the name of immigration enforcement. No child should ever be treated as a political pawn or subjected to these inhumane conditions. That is why we must continue fighting to protect the rights, safety, and dignity of our immigrant communities. Every person has inherent worth, and every child deserves to live free from fear and with hope for the future.
