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.

United in the belief that no one should live in fear of their own government, Oxnard Mayor Pro Tem Gabe Teran stands with our community.
Together, we will continue to show up for our neighbors who do not have the privilege or protection to do so themselves.
All people deserve to live in safety, free from fear and free from violence at the hands of their own government. The American people don’t want brutality and fear — they want fairness, safety, and an immigration system that reflects our values.
ICE and the Department of Homeland ...Security under Donald Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem are out of control. That is why I stood alongside local leaders, faith voices, and community advocates from across Ventura County and the Conejo Valley to demand accountability. Together, we made clear that cruelty and lawlessness have no place in our communities — and we will not be silent.
We are united in the belief that every life has worth and that ICE’s brutality must be challenged. Ventura County and the Conejo Valley will always stand proudly with our immigrant friends and neighbors, and we will use every avenue available to pursue accountability and justice.
Donald Trump’s Big Ugly Bill rips healthcare away from 15 million Americans, including families, seniors, and people with disabilities who rely on it to survive.
Trump and Republicans in Congress promised to lower costs and protect care. Instead, they have advanced legislation that would... strip coverage, raise premiums, and deepen an already urgent affordability crisis, all while delivering massive tax breaks to billionaires and large corporations.
In Ventura County and the Conejo Valley, more than 34,000 people stand to lose access to the doctors, prescriptions, and treatments they depend on. Another 36,000 would see their healthcare premiums skyrocket.
The harm caused by this reckless and deeply misguided agenda is real and vulnerable communities will pay the price. House Democrats are standing up to protect Americans’ healthcare, defend access to coverage, and put working families first.
Republicans in Congress have abandoned any pretense of leadership or accountability. Day after day, they allow Donald Trump and his administration to traffic in extremism, cruelty, and dangerous rhetoric without consequence.
That same moral failure was on full display this weekend. The ...vile, Islamophobic comments made by Randy Fine were not a mistake or a slip of the tongue. They were a deliberate act of hatred.
What is just as outrageous is the silence from Mike Johnson and Republican leadership. Their continued refusal to condemn this bigotry sends a clear message: this behavior is tolerated and protected within their caucus.
At a time when hate crimes and political violence are on the rise, this rhetoric is not just offensive – it is dangerous. It puts lives at risk. It fuels extremism. And it corrodes the integrity of the institution we serve.
Silence is complicity. The American people deserve leaders who will reject hatred in all its forms and defend the safety and fundamental rights of every community in this country.
From our nation’s top economists to our local businesses, there is broad agreement that Donald Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs and hurting American families.
Trump promised to lower prices on day one. Instead, his reckless tariffs and economic policies have raised prices while ...delivering the largest tax breaks for billionaires and corporations in our nation’s history.
In Ventura County and the Conejo Valley, families are paying an average of $1,980 more as a direct result of these policies, and the affordability crisis continues to deepen.
The harm caused by the irresponsible and deeply misguided economic agenda of this Trump administration of grifters is real, and families across the country are paying the price. House Democrats remain firmly committed to lowering costs, strengthening our economy, and fighting every day for working families.
As communities across the country celebrate the Lunar New Year, we recognize this time of renewal, tradition, and hope.
Wishing everyone who celebrates a joyful and prosperous New Year. May the year ahead bring health, happiness, and opportunity. #LunarNewYear2026 #YearOfTheFireHorse
Reverend Jesse Jackson spent his life fighting for justice, equality, and the fundamental dignity of all people. Through courage, faith, and an unwavering belief in the power of hope, he helped change the course of American history for the better.
Our nation mourns the loss of a civil ...rights giant, a champion for what is right, and a steadfast advocate for those whose voices too often went unheard. His message to “Keep hope alive” inspired generations and continues to guide the ongoing struggle for a more equitable America.
May we honor his legacy not only in words, but in action — carrying the spirit of hope forward and continuing the work he believed in so deeply.
My prayers are with his family, loved ones, and all who were inspired by his life and leadership.
Every year, my office is proud to host #ValentinesforVets with students from across California’s 26th Congressional District.
I am always inspired by our young people’s heartfelt commitment to uplifting those who have served our nation in uniform. Thanks to their efforts, local ...veterans throughout our region received more than 1,000 Valentine’s Day cards this year.
Thank you to all the students and teachers who took part in this beloved tradition and helped make sure our veterans felt appreciated this Valentine’s Day.
Forever a loyalist to Donald Trump, Pam Bondi continued her shameful pattern of deceit and deflection while testifying before Congress about her complete failure of leadership – particularly regarding the release of the Epstein files.
She misled Congress about evidence that raises ...serious questions about the President’s knowledge of and involvement in criminal activity. Floundering in her falsehoods, Bondi lashed out in an embarrassing spectacle that showed a complete lack of professionalism and decorum. Most disturbing of all was her refusal to apologize to the Epstein survivors standing behind her.
Bondi has chosen to shield perpetrators of horrific sex-trafficking crimes with clear financial ties to the Trump administration. At the same time, the Department of Justice has failed to protect survivors’ privacy, releasing names and sensitive images while still failing to meet its legal obligations under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
This is wholly unacceptable. Pam Bondi should end the theatrics and resign immediately. The American people deserve competent, accountable leadership that will deliver justice and uphold the law.
