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.

We all know a government shutdown would not only have a devastating economic impact, but it would hinder our military readiness, weaken our national security, deprive veterans of benefits they have earned, prohibit seniors from enrolling in Social Security, and jeopardize the critical services and ...programs that American families rely on.
House Democrats rejected the harmful and dangerous efforts by the extreme wing of the Republican Party to add poison pill riders on budget bills. The continuing resolution that emerged through bicameral, bipartisan negotiations, is not perfect, but it represents a reasonable compromise.
This funding bill reflects House Democrats’ commitment to putting people over politics by curbing MAGA extremism and moving the nation forward, and that is why I voted for its passage. I trust that the Senate and the President will act swiftly so that we can keep the federal government open and continue to serve the American people.

More than 13,000 Americans were unfairly and unjustly discharged under the discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy between 1993 and 2011, and more than 19,000 were discharged under previous “homosexual conduct” policies.
13 years ago today, "Don't Ask, ...Don't Tell" was officially repealed and ended a shameful era of U.S. history. As a proud member of the Congressional Equality Caucus, I fighting to honor all of our servicemembers and veterans and address the inequities impacting the LGBTQ population in our military.
Today and every day, we pay tribute to the American service members who were taken as prisoners of war or remain missing. They are not forgotten.
On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we renew our commitment to supporting their families and the promise to continue our efforts to bring them... home.
NOTE: Our Passport Fair has moved locations! This event is being held at the Ventura County Office of Education’s Conference Center at 5100 Adolfo Road in Camarillo – just around the corner!

The Communications Bureau of the Simi Valley Police Department is a critical link between the community and response units in the field. 911 dispatchers work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and handle over 40,000 emergency and non-emergency calls each year.
Recently, I was able to secure ...federal funding for Simi Valley’s 911 Live Implementation Project, a new system that provides officers with real time updates alongside dispatchers that will significantly enhance the delivery of life-saving help.
In Congress, I am committed to ensuring that our dedicated law enforcement and public safety professionals have the best equipment and tools to support their mission to keep our communities safe.
