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.

Abuse of power, harassment, and misconduct have no place in Congress or anywhere in our society.
Survivors who come forward do so at great personal cost. Their courage is what makes accountability possible, but accountability requires more than acknowledgment. It requires action.
...No one entrusted with public office should be shielded from scrutiny or consequences. When that trust is broken, it must be met with transparency, accountability, and meaningful consequences.
The American people deserve a government that reflects basic decency and respect for others. Upholding that standard is not optional. Anything less undermines the integrity of this institution.
Trump’s weaponization of religion to justify the bombardment of innocent civilians is a profound betrayal of the very values he claims to invoke. His actions stand in direct opposition to the compassion, humility, and moral responsibility that define faith traditions around the world.
At... the same time, he is attacking the Pope for speaking out against an illegal war, further isolating the United States and undermining our credibility on the global stage.
Donald Trump is dragging our country deeper into a reckless and unnecessary conflict while stripping Americans of critical food assistance and access to health care in the midst of an affordability crisis he has created. There is nothing righteous about this. It is a failure of leadership.
On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust and honor the survivors who carry their stories forward. We are called not only to remember, but to stand up against hatred and injustice wherever it appears. May we honor their memory not only with reflection, but with ...the courage to confront hate, defend humanity, and build a more just and compassionate world.
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.
