Col. Paul Cook (Ret.)

Today, I resign from Congress in order to take my seat on the @SBCounty Board of Supervisors. Thank you to my constituents for giving me the opportunity to represent you in Congress. Serving the 8th District has been one of the greatest honors of my life. bit.ly/2JI6Lrc

Today we honor those who put on the uniform and answered the call to serve. We must never forget the sacrifices our brave men and women made to build a brighter future for all. Thank you, Veterans. Your courage, patriotism, and leadership continues to guide our great nation.

Happy 245th Birthday to @USMC! Today, we celebrate and honor the brave men and women of the Marine Corps who give their all to keep Americans safe at home and abroad. Thank you for your service and commitment to our nation. Semper Fidelis.

I wish the @POTUS and @FLOTUS a swift recovery from COVID-19. The Coronavirus is a very real threat that our nation is still fighting to overcome. We must all continue to do our part in keeping each other safe and healthy.

As the second female appointed to the Court and first Jewish woman, Justice Ginsberg, 87, served 27 years on the Supreme Court. A trailblazer & inspiration to many, she loomed large and her contributions to our justice system will live on. My condolences to her family and friends

Much of the American West has experienced horrific wildfires this year. That’s why I cosponsored HR 7978 to protect our communities from the threat of wildfires. I’m hopeful Congress will act quickly to pass this bill so the President can sign it into law. bit.ly/2ZKoHWQ

This past week, two deputies were ambushed while in their patrol car. Please take a moment to read this alert. If anyone has information on this, please call (323) 890-5500. My prayers are with them and their families. bit.ly/2E15okB

Today is #LaborDay. Thank you to all the workers who contribute to our communities every day, especially during these uncertain times. America’s working families are the reason for our nation’s strength and prosperity.

Yucaipa residents, please stay safe and follow evacuation orders for your area.

#ElDoradoFire **Evacuation Warning is now in effect for the Yucaipa bench area ** Residents may evacuate to Yucaipa Community Center as a temporary evacuation facility. Red Cross is enroute

FEMA grants have been made available to help American families and individuals struggling with lost wages due to COVID-19. As the pandemic continues, I call on Gov. Newsom to act swiftly in securing this critical assistance for the State of California. bit.ly/3l5LPbj

I’m calling on Indian Wells Valley Groundwater Authority to delay consideration of its Basin Replenishment Fee hike. Searles Valley Minerals estimates a 7000% increase in water costs if it goes into effect. #savesearles bit.ly/31kqeV3

I strongly support a bipartisan extension of the #payrollsupportprogram for our aviation workers. It will save jobs and help the economy. Let’s get this done now.

#AppleFire COMMUNITY OF MORONGO VALLEY you are now subject to an Evacuation WARNING. There is a potential threat to life and/or property. Those who require additional time to evacuate, and those with pets and livestock should leave now. Evacuation route is Hwy 62 east or west.

I’m pleased to be an original cosponsor of the #JUSTICEAct. Thank you to @RepPeteStauber and @SenatorTimScott for introducing this legislation to help prevent violence and ensure better training for law enforcement officers. bit.ly/3ei5K3g

Veterans are not a line item in a budget. They are human beings and, in this case, the bravest and most honorable among us. The Barstow Veterans Home represents our commitment to those who have served our country. #Veterans #BarstowVeteransHome bit.ly/3c9NQhg

On Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. We will never forget their bravery and patriotism. I wish you all a safe and peaceful Memorial Day. youtu.be/ERa7-j1gvQE

I would like to extend a warm welcome to fellow Veteran and newest Republican to Congress @RepMikeGarcia1 of California! I look forward to seeing the great work you’ll do for your community #CA25 and our country.

We’re making progress in combatting COVID-19, but HR 6800 wastes precious time and money. Instead of working together to help American families & small businesses, the House majority put forward an unfocused partisan bill that has no chance of becoming law bit.ly/2zF7Qus

During #NationalPoliceWeek2020 we recognize & remember our brave officers who have fallen in the line of duty. In this time of uncertainty, our officers continue to put their lives at risk every day to protect our communities. Be sure to thank them for all they do to keep us safe
