I would say today is a good morning, but actually, today is a VERY good morning.

A U.S. citizen student was illegally detained and injured on his way to school. Farmworkers across the Central Coast have faced enforcement actions that leave them fearful of being detained while simply doing their jobs.

It's Election Day, Central Coast! If you haven't already, make a plan to vote.

Your vote is your voice.

Hey, San Luis Obispo! My SLO office is accepting internship applications through November 18th at midnight.

If you're interested in public service and serving the Central Coast, I encourage you to apply.

I had an election security roundtable with the SLO County leaders who are working hard to administer the upcoming election. I thank these dedicated public servants for going the extra mile to protect our right to vote and ensuring local elections remain safe and secure!

Jumpscare: Thanks to Trump and Republicans' reckless economic policies, Halloween candy prices are up over 15% this year on average — that's four times overall inflation.

I was honored to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Bella Vista, a new affordable housing development in Santa Barbara. 48 new units will now be available to families, providing them a safe place to call home.

I'm deeply saddened to hear of Dolores Huerta’s passing. For decades, she embodied the power of organizing, persistence, and hope. Her civil rights advocacy changed lives across California and the entire nation, and we'll honor her legacy by continuing the fight. Sí, se puede.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill has been a disaster for Central Coast families, especially those who lost their health coverage because of the bill’s impact on Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.

I’m fighting to reverse this terrible policy and improve access to affordable health care.

Thank you Pilot Lt. Miyako Miller, Coast Guard rescue swimmer Josh Law, and the entire Coast Guard Air Station Ventura crew for swiftly responding to the distress call and rescuing 16 people from the open ocean.

I'm deeply disturbed to learn of yet another ICE detainment in Santa Maria — this time, ICE agents violently detained a student with disabilities while they were walking to school.

The Trump administration's cuts to food assistance, high gas prices from the Iran war, and inflation from tariffs are pushing more Central Coast families to rely on food banks.

Proud to have earned a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign’s 119th Congressional Scorecard. I will always stand with the LGBTQ+ community, and will continue to fight back against any attempt to undermine the progress we’ve made. @hrc.org

Americans should not have to choose between buying groceries and keeping their homes warm this winter.

With energy prices soaring due to Trump's illegal war in Iran, I'm joining a bipartisan effort to push Congress to deliver more assistance to families struggling with higher energy bills.

I had a great time visiting Ms. Patricia's students at Sheridan Way Elementary school!

Many Central Coast residents are concerned about the recent rise in ICE activity.

To get answers and demand accountability, I went to the Santa Maria ICE facility. Here’s what happened.

I toured the Vitalant processing center with Executive Director Susan Noone and her team to learn how blood donation and collection works. Their services support more than 26 Central Coast hospitals — made possible by the generosity of local blood donors.

I joined Santa Barbara County Supervisor Roy Lee and retired Santa Barbara City Fire Chief Pat McElroy for a hike in the Los Padres National Forest to talk about the need to protect our public lands.

On Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor and celebrate the history, contributions, and culture of the communities that have called the Americas home for thousands of years.

En los últimos días, hemos visto un aumento en la actividad de ICE en nuestras comunidades. Estoy totalmente en contra de que detengan a nuestros vecinos sin una razón legal y sin una orden judicial.
