We know what works in Sacramento County: local law enforcement partnering with the communities they serve to build trust and prevent crime. This approach is effective, sustainable, and avoids putting both our troops and our communities at undue risk.
Crime is a serious concern. Sending in the National Guard is not the answer. They lack the training to police civilian populations and their presence risks undermining trust between residents and law enforcement.
When President Trump deployed National Guard troops into LA, I said he was doing so to inflame tensions and provoke a response to justify further crackdowns. That’s exactly what he’s doing now in DC.
President Trump knows that he is unpopular and that his policies are hurting the American people. That’s why he's trying to cheat, break the rules, and manipulate data to hold on to power. This is not what the American people want.
On Purple Heart Day, we honor the extraordinary courage of our servicemembers who were wounded or gave their lives in defense of our great nation. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of presenting the Purple Heart to brave veterans and their families who call Sacramento County home.

I’m thinking of my friend John Lewis today on the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. John was severely beaten by state troopers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge for marching for the right to vote. Those harrowing images shocked the nation and helped lead to the passage of the Voting Rights Act.
With nuclear brinksmanship once again on the rise, the United States must lead and take concrete steps to reduce the possibility that nuclear weapons are ever used again. The consequences of complacency are simply too high.
Today marks 80 years since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In 2023, I visited Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park and reflected on the immense human toll of that day. It was a powerful and sobering reminder of the devastating consequences of nuclear warfare.

Canceling nearly $500 million in mRNA vaccine funding undermines our public health readiness, weakens our national security, and abandons the very innovation that helped lead us out of the deadliest public health crisis in a century.
This groundbreaking technology remains one of our most powerful tools to prevent future pandemics and develop life-saving treatments for cancer, influenza, and other serious respiratory illnesses.
I was proud to vote for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to help restore and strengthen the rights John and so many others sacrificed so much for. Congress must finish that work.
In 2019, Janine and I walked across that same bridge with him. It was a powerful reminder of the courage it took to move our country forward and why we can never take that freedom for granted.

One of the best ways to do that is to build more housing and businesses near public transit. Doing so helps reduce traffic, expand access to economic opportunity, and build a more livable and accessible future.
A special thank you to the dedicated members of U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento for your unwavering commitment to saving lives and supporting critical missions across California and the West Coast. We’re proud to have you based right here in Sacramento County.
