Today, I had the honor of returning to my alma mater, SJM, to recognize and celebrate Coach Roznovsky and the boys’ basketball team for their incredible achievement—winning the CIF Division II State Championship.  Their hard work, discipline, and teamwork have brought tremendous pride to the entire school community. Congratulations on an outstanding season and a well-earned championship!

This morning, I attended the bi-national Farmworkers Appreciation Breakfast to honor the hard work and dedication of our farmworker community and their families. Agriculture, and the farmworkers who help sustain it, is the backbone of America. Day in and day out, they perform the demanding, labor-intensive work that helps feed our nation. Thank you for all that you do!

Today’s Supreme Court decision is a setback for voting rights and fair representation. The Voting Rights Act was passed to stop discrimination at the ballot box, not to be weakened by the courts. 

Congress must pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and modernize these protections to ensure every American has an equal voice in our democracy.

The preemptive language in this bill is problematic.     We must ensure that our farmworkers, who are essential partners to our farmers, ranchers, dairy men and women, are protected. At the same time, we want to keep the air in our Valley as safe and clean are possible.

Every family and resident in the Valley deserves to breathe clean, healthy air. I was glad to sit down with the San Joaquin @Valleyair to talk through our priorities and how we can deliver real, measurable progress on air quality.

I voted for an amendment to restore the cuts made to SNAP, but it was defeated.  Food insecurity is a national security issue, and it’s past time we treat it that way.

Just last week, we gathered in Fresno to mark the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Now, Azerbaijan has confirmed that they demolished the iconic Holy Mother of God Cathedral in Stepanakert — a stark reminder that the erasure of Armenian cultural heritage and Christian history is still continuing even more than 100 years later. We must continue to stand with the Armenian people and ensure the world does not ignore these continued crimes.

On this #WorkersMemorialDay, we honor and remember those who lost their lives on the job.  Every worker deserves a safe workplace, fair wages, and the ability to come home to their loved ones. We must keep fighting for just that.

Over the weekend, I had the privilege of attending the monument dedication honoring the Armenian community in Yettem at St. Mary Armenian Apostolic Church.  This monument is a powerful tribute to the resilience, faith, and lasting contributions of Armenian families in the Central Valley.  Following last Friday’s commemoration of the Armenian Genocide, we are reminded of our duty to remember, honor, and ensure history is never forgotten. It was an honor to recognize this important occasion.

This evening’s shooting at the White House Press Correspondents’ Dinner is once again a sad reminder of the violence and divisions we have at home and around the world. I am relieved that the President, his official party, members of Congress, and the press are all reported to be safe. Having attended this dinner in the past, I can attest to the importance of this occasion to put aside our partisan differences with conversation and humor. We must find bipartisan ways to restore civil debate free of the politics of hate and hyper-inflated division that fuels the contempt today. We must find ways to make our country’s government trusted on behalf of the American people. abc30.com/post/trump-fir…

This week, I was joined by bipartisan colleagues to recognize advocates, survivors, and organizations from across the country at the Crime Survivors and Justice Caucus Awards Ceremony during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. I was especially proud to honor the Family Healing Center in Fresno, whose work is making a real difference for survivors in the Central Valley. Their commitment to supporting victims and helping communities heal reflects the strength of our Valley. Grateful to all those who stand with survivors and work every day to ensure their voices are heard.

Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, in which 1.5 million Armenians were systematically killed. We honor the lives lost and stand with the Armenian community in remembrance. Today, and every day, we must recognize this history, speak the truth, and remain committed to preventing such atrocities from ever happening again.

Saddened by the passing of my colleague Congressman David Scott. David was a historic leader, the first Black man to chair the House Agriculture Committee, and helped shape the last three Farm Bills, fight for disaster aid for farmers, strengthen nutrition programs, and expand opportunities for students at 1890 land-grant institutions.   I’m proud to have served alongside him. Praying for his family and the people of Georgia.  May he rest in peace.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 From the San Joaquin River to Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks, our Valley is home to incredible natural resources. Today and every day, I’m committed to protecting these landscapes and advancing policies that safeguard our environment for generations to come.

No better way to start my morning than by welcoming our local heroes to our nation’s capital! It was great to greet and spend time with the brave men and women from @CVHonorFlight Trip 34 who have served our country. Each visit is a powerful reminder of their dedication, service, and courage as leaders. Wishing them a wonderful rest of their trip!

April 18th marks the 1,000th day of the Azerbaijani government's illegal detention of Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu, under politically motivated charges. Azerbaijan should release Dr. Ibadoghlu and its other political prisoners, as well as all Armenian prisoners of war as a precondition to any peace agreement with Armenia.
