A constituent reached out for help after he tried to get his deceased father’s final refund for tax year 2023. I was happy to step in, and after providing the necessary documentation, the agency sent him a refund of nearly $8,000. I'm proud to help constituents get their money back from the IRS.

I’m proud to work with @RepZoeLofgren and deliver $1.15M for the Santa Cruz Metro’s paratransit bus fleet. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to pay dividends for our communities, and I will continue advocating for fed funding to improve the daily lives of my constituents.

Over the past 30 years, we have fought back against the federal government leasing our coastline for offshore oil drilling. We put up a fight and won then and we will continue to fight and win to protect our Monterey Bay.
