Rep. Jared Huffman

RFK Jr. is pushing debunked conspiracy theories as government policy – and thankfully the federal courts just stepped in to block his crusade against vaccines for kids. House Republicans are still enabling him, but on #TheFlipSide, here's what I'm doing to protect public health.

We banned lead from gasoline. From paint. From children's toys. Republicans just voted to keep it in our wildlife refuges, killing bald eagles and over 130 species, because the gun lobby told them to. @RepHuffman: Our public lands belong to the American people, not the NRA.

American families are paying way too much for electricity right now. Democrats are doing something about it. Our #EnergyBillsReliefAct would expand access to cleaner, cheaper forms of energy and lower your electricity bills. lcv.org/blog/how-democ…

Gas prices are up 32% this month thanks to Trump's war in Iran, and American drivers are struggling. We need this administration to come up with some concrete, sensible plans to get us out of this mess they caused. washingtonpost.com/business/2026/…

The only open nonbeliever in Congress, @RepHuffman is leading a crusade to uphold the separation of church and state sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

“This is unthinkable. We are being taken to places we have never been.” Through the Congressional Freethought Caucus, @RepHuffman is sounding the alarming about a rising Christian nationalism in the Trump administration, including the war in Iran sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

We're over 2 weeks into a reckless war in Iran, and Trump has introduced no meaningful plan to protect our national security interests. 13 service members have died, billions of taxpayer dollars have been spent, and Trump has no clear strategy to bring this conflict to an end.

We're seeing more e-bikes in our communities, but there are insufficient federal standards to keep pedestrians, bicyclists, and kids safe. I joined Rep. Min in introducing the Safe SPEEDS Act to set real safety standards, improve data, and respond to this growing challenge. huffman.house.gov/media-center/p…

Thanks to the incredible staff at the Mendocino Community Health Clinic (MCHC) in Willits for showing me your facility and giving me a glimpse into the care you provide for our community.

Our communities in the North Coast are enduring wildfires year-round, and we need a bigger, fully trained firefighting workforce to combat this growing crisis. This week, we celebrated $20 million in new funds for Mendocino College to invest in fire technology, training, and more.

Trump's health care cuts are skyrocketing insurance premiums, stripping health coverage, and closing rural hospitals. I was glad to host a town hall and hear from people in our community. We won’t stop fighting to ensure every American has access to affordable health care.

Americans are struggling to afford groceries and rent while Trump wants to build a golden vanity arch taller than the Lincoln Memorial.

RM @RepHuffman: "This is not Pyongyang. We have laws, policies and procedures. That's how the great monuments of our Capitol City are planned and built. And most Americans want to enjoy the view of Arlington Cemetery without seeing an eyesore from a President who mocks deceased war heroes as suckers and losers."

New: Democrats asked a federal court to block Trump's 250-ft arch Under law, Congress must approve certain monuments in DC “This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” @SenAngusKing said They also mocked the "vanity" project “This is not Pyongyang,” @RepHuffman said

Join me on Tuesday, March 10 in Santa Rosa for a health care town hall with Congressman Jared Huffman and State Senator Mike McGuire. We’ll discuss the rising cost of health care, efforts to lower costs for families, and the path forward for universal coverage. RSVP at this link: sd02.senate.ca.gov/march-10-healt…

I’m against this war, and I’m for holding this president accountable.

.@RepHuffman: “It is absurd that any president would go down this road of trying to retrofit history and culture in their own image instead of getting actual historians to tell us these stories.” wapo.st/4aVrK2g

The Trump administration has been quietly building a database of American history they want erased from national parks. Slavery. Emmett Till. Climate science. The Civil Rights Movement. Authoritarian regimes do this. This is a president at war with the truth.

Our troops are being told that war with Iran is part of a biblical prophecy for Armageddon that Trump was anointed by God to carry out. This is what happens when Christian Nationalism infiltrates the government. And people are dying because of it.

Standing up for our climate and environmental justice is one of my biggest priorities in Congress – everyone deserves clean air and water, affordable clean energy, and healthy public lands. I'm honored I got 100% on this year's @LCVoters Scorecard, and I’ll keep working hard!

I oppose this rash, illegal act of war against Iran and will be working to confront it under the War Powers Act and other authorities in the days ahead. It is another alarming abuse of power that Congress must confront, and unfortunately another blow to America’s credibility and goodwill on the global stage, which Trump has made it virtually impossible for any nation to negotiate and pursue diplomacy with the United States.
