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.

Democrats are cracking down on corporations that price gouge families on everything from groceries to gas to credit card fees to prescription prices. Meanwhile, Republicans are protecting corporate greed and making it increasingly challenging for working men and women to put food on the kitchen ...table and meet their everyday needs.
As we continue to celebrate the historic progress and achievements of President Biden's #InflationReductionAct, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring the affordability of the American Dream. That is why I am working with my Democratic colleagues to end illegal price gouging at the grocery store and lower prices for hard-working families across the nation.
The vice president’s plans represent more of a reboot of President Biden’s economic policies than a radically fresh start.

#OTD: The Social Security Act was enacted into law 89 years ago! When President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed this transformative program, it provided safety to America’s seniors for generations to come. Today, 71 million Americans – seniors, veterans, and children – are actively benefitting ...from this historic investment in our public’s well-being.
While extreme MAGA Republicans propose $1.5 trillion in cuts to Social Security, including raising the retirement age, House Democrats are fighting to protect this vital program so that every American can retire with dignity.

It’s 2024, and moms are making 71 cents per dollar compared to dads – with even larger disparities in pay for moms of color. This is shameful and simply unacceptable!
We must ensure that women and families have access to the economic security and economic opportunities they need to ...succeed and thrive. On this #MomsEqualPayDay, I am proud to join the Democratic Women's Caucus in fighting for equal pay for moms and working women throughout the nation.
