Rep. Derek Tran

I’m proud to deliver over $6 million for our public safety heroes this year. Our police officers and firefighters deserve the best resources to keep themselves and our communities safe.

I’m outraged by the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE agents in Houston this week. It is yet another example of ICE’s disturbing and often lethal pattern of excessive force. I’m demanding swift legislative action and a fair, transparent investigation to prevent these abuses from ever happening again. My heart is with Araujo’s family as they grieve this tragic loss, and my resolve is with the fight for justice, oversight, and accountability that they deserve.

President Trump cut your health care to give his billionaire friends a tax break with his “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Now, health insurance premiums are skyrocketing for middle-class families. apnews.com/article/afford…

Growing up, my family relied on programs like WIC, giving us stability when we needed it most. I was honored to attend the grand opening of Planned Parenthood’s new WIC center in Stanton, giving Orange County families the opportunity to build healthier futures for their children.

California families are being crushed by housing costs, but President Trump is putting politics over people by refusing to sign the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. President Trump must sign this legislation to give home buyers and renters the relief they deserve.

It was an honor to address the North Orange County Chamber of Commerce at their annual Champions for Business Awards. As a small business owner and a member of the House Small Business Committee, I'll keep fighting to bring the voices of small business owners to Washington and make sure our leaders put main street first.

When I was growing up, SNAP didn't just help my family keep food on the table, it gave me a shot at the American dream. Now, President Trump is taking that dream away from millions of families. washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/07…

I was born the year my parents came to this country as refugees from Vietnam. My story is the story of the American dream. It was an honor to share my story alongside my colleagues last week in defense of birthright citizenship. The fight isn’t over yet, and I’ll continue to use my voice to defend our Constitution.

I'm proud to deliver $250,000 in federal funding to build safer, more accessible streets in Fullerton. Orange County families deserve their tax dollars at work, and I’ll keep fighting for federal funding to improve our infrastructure and keep our streets safe.

Great to be in Artesia, Cypress, Los Alamitos, and Norwalk for the 4th of July! Proud to celebrate 250 years of freedom, equality, and democracy at home in Southern California.

Happy #FourthofJuly! 250 years ago, our founders created a government by the people, for the people. Today and every day, I'm fighting for our founding promise of freedom, democracy, and opportunity for ALL Americans.

Every American deserves a safe experience with rideshare apps. That’s why @RepLuna and I are leading a group of bipartisan lawmakers to ensure that Americans retain their right to seek a remedy in court if a rideshare company fails to protect its riders or drivers.

Residents of Garden Grove, Fullerton, Westminster, and Buena Park: West Nile virus has been detected in mosquitoes in our community. Be sure to prevent bites by using proper repellents and clothing, dump and drain outdoor standing water, and close all unscreened doors and windows to keep mosquitoes from entering your home. I am closely monitoring the reports and will continue to update you with more information. ktla.com/news/californi…

On July 2nd, 1964, the Civil Rights Act became law. This was a hard-won victory that moved our nation closer to the promise of equality for all. 62 years later, we celebrate the progress we have made and recommit ourselves to the fight for justice and opportunity for all.

Americans should retain their right to seek recourse if a rideshare company fails to protect them. @RepLuna and I are leading a bipartisan effort to protect riders and drivers across the country.

Today, major changes to federal student loan rules from President Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill” take effect. With lower borrowing limits and the elimination of professional designations, including nursing and other high-need fields, the "One Big Beautiful Bill" makes higher education more expensive for everyday Americans. I am fighting to ensure that every student can afford to pursue their education and succeed. cbsnews.com/news/student-l…
