Honored to represent California's 44th District, #CA44. House Democrats Steering & Policy Co-Chair, Member of Energy and Commerce Committee, Progressive Caucus. Dodgers fan.
Many religious and higher education institutions have unused land that can be used to help house those in need. 

My bill, co-led by @repshontelbrown.bsky.social, will provide assistance to these institutions to help remove obstacles, so we can increase affordable housing for our communities.

This month, we remember, honor, and highlight the Black American community which has shaped our history every step of the way.

Black history is American history, and we celebrate its rich contributions to our culture and country. Happy #BlackHistoryMonth!

86 years ago, Ida May Fuller received the first-ever #SocialSecurity check.

But today, Republicans want to slash Social Security, taking money from children, veterans, and the elderly.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. They’ve terrorized our immigrant communities, tried to silence those who speak out, and killed people in the streets.

That’s why @housedemocrats.bsky.social fought to restore the tax credits that help keep health insurance costs down — time for Senate Republicans to do the same.

Elaine from #SanPedro couldn’t believe her monthly health insurance bill. Americans like Elaine already work more hours just to afford basic necessities because the cost of living is too high. They don’t have an extra $200 or $300 lying around PER MONTH to pay for rising health care costs.

#TeamBarragán held a Health Insurance Open Enrollment Day in #Carson!
 
Our neighbors from across #CA44 received free assistance from certified counselors with the California Health Professional Student Alliance— UCLA Chapter to enroll in CoveredCA and Medi-Cal.

It’s simple: Kristi Noem needs to resign or be fired. If not, we’ll work to impeach her.

PFAS chemicals like GenX can be found in pots and pans, food packaging, and more.
 
Marketed as a “safer alternative,” GenX still ended up polluting drinking water and has been linked to cancer in communities.

Colleen’s 3-yr-old daughter had a tumor —> United Healthcare denied her treatments —> their family ended up over $1 MILLION in debt.

Health insurance companies’ claim denials are literally risking people’s lives. Americans should NOT be denied the care that they need while CEOs rake in millions.

NO reforms, NO oversight, NO accountability = a NO vote from me on funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

We cannot turn a blind eye or support money for DHS as ICE racially profiles, physically assaults, and violates the rights of our neighbors and terrorizes our communities.

Republicans’ bill guts the Clean Air Act, which will increase asthma attacks, emergency room visits caused by breathing problems, and lower babies’ birth weight.

My amendment would stop this bill from taking effect until the EPA can be sure that Americans’ public health is protected.

Happy MLK Day! To honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I joined the Polk Institute Foundation in #LongBeach to celebrate our exceptional BIPOC entrepreneurs who are helping startups and companies grow through innovative and sustainable practices.

Today, we reflect upon the words and actions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

On the anniversary of his birthday, let’s recommit ourselves to the fight for the equality and dignity of our communities. Wishing you all a meaningful MLK Day.

Special thanks to Dr. Jenny at ERB Foundation, the Fleet Reserve Association Carson Branch 302 &, the Quibin family for coming together to honor this historic milestone.

The Trump admin continues to take away access to STEM education from hundreds of students in my district, through its cuts to the Long Beach Public Library’s Youth SEED program.

Ridiculous. Republicans promised to make life more affordable. Now they’re telling you to eat as little as possible because they actually have no plan to lower costs.

“A piece of chicken, broccoli, a corn tortilla and one other thing”… Is this what USDA Sec. Rollins thinks is enough for a full, healthy meal?

Today, I asked FCC Chairman Carr a simple yes-or-no question: Do consumers deserve to know—before they sign up—if they’ll be hit with expensive early cancellation fees, often totaling hundreds of dollars?

It’s a simple question. He refused to say yes or no.

On this day, the first Korean American immigrants arrived to the US in 1903. Since then, they have enriched our country and #CA44 with their unique culture and various contributions and accomplishments.

Today, we celebrate our Korean American communities and wish them a happy Korean American Day!
