Valley patients deserve affordable prescription drugs.

I recently met with Dr. Jeffrey Hill, owner of Valley Prescription and Compounding Pharmacy in Merced, to discuss potential legislative solutions for the skyrocketing price of prescription medications.

Let's end Alzheimer's.

I had the honor of cutting the ribbon for the Alzheimer's Association 2024 Merced Walk to End Alzheimer's! I'm proud to have been a cosponsor of the NAPA Reauthorization Act that continues vital federal efforts to address this devastating disease.

I recently joined Rob Doornbos of Weather Tools, Inc and Don Wright for a fascinating discussion on how innovative precipitation forecasting can improve the management of California's water!

Our Valley's families deserve water abundance, and modernizing California's water management strategies to meet the latest science and technology can help achieve it.

Propane is essential to many agricultural and commercial activities in the Central Valley, and over 12,000 homes in the 13th District depend on propane gas for heating.

Abundant American energy is the backbone of a strong economy. Thank you to Sierra Propane and EDP for a productive meeting in Merced today!

Last night, I recognized three of our Valley's colleges for their incredible work in helping students rise up the socioeconomic ladder, as highlighted by the The Wall Street Journal's rankings.

The Wall Street Journal ranked:

UC Merced #1
Stanislaus State #2
Fresno State #4

I've seen how the students, professors, and staff create opportunities and open doors for our next generation. These institutions reflect the spirit of our Valley—resourceful, driven, and dedicated to improving our Valley's lives, families, and communities.

I couldn't be more proud and I'm committed to supporting their continued success.

Happy 77th birthday to the United States Air Force!

The 13th District of California is proud to the home of Castle Air Museum, located at the former Castle Air Force Base in Atwater.

Visitors from across the world enjoy exhibits like this SR-71 Blackbird, the mighty B-52 Stratofortress, and dozens of other military aircraft!

BILL PASSED! 🇺🇸

I am pleased to announce that the House has passed my bill, H.R. 7816, The Clear Communication for Veterans Claims Act!

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to contract with a federally-funded research and development center to reduce indecipherable jargon in VA notice letters.

Veterans and their loved ones should be able to easily understand VA correspondence regarding crucial benefits, and this bill addresses this issue head-on.

Veterans rightfully earned their benefits in service of our nation, and I am honored to stand up for them!

Thank you again to Chairman Mike Bost and all of my Democrat and Republican colleagues who supported this bill!

¡Feliz día de la Independencia de México!

This June, I had the privilege of participating in a Sister Cities ceremony with the City of Livingston and delegations from three Mexican cities:

Zapotlanejo, Jalisco
Jalostotitlán, Jalisco
Churintzio, Michoacán

For centuries, our Valley has forged strong bonds of blood, commerce, and friendship with the people of Mexico.

Wishing everyone in both of our nations a safe and joyous celebration!

Congratulations to the Assyrian Festival for achieving a decade of celebrating Assyrian cuisine, language, and culture!

Today I had the distinct honor of presenting a commemorative Congressional Record and a flag flown over the United States Capitol to the Central Valley Parishes of the Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East.

Turlock is proud to be home to one of the largest and most active Assyrian communities in the United States. I find the incredible resilience of the Assyrian people over the course of millennia to be truly inspiring!

Never forget.

23 years ago today, we saw the indomitable spirit of the American people exhibited in the selfless courage of our first responders and the heroism of regular citizens.

I'm grateful to have been able to join Chairman Cliff Bentz and my California colleagues for the recent House Committee on Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife & Fisheries field hearing in Santa Nella.

We heard from key water stakeholders on the consequences of California's chronic water scarcity for the nation's food supply and our Valley's communities.

Our Valley's families are proud to feed America and the world, and they deserve water abundance!

09/09/2024

If we took 1% of California's $3.3 trillion economy for one year alone, we'd have $33 billion to build the water infrastructure we need for generations to come.

Instead, we're spending over $100 billion on high-speed rail.

We have the resources to provide water abundance. We just need common sense.
