On March 7, 1965, John was brutally beaten by state troopers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge for marching for the right to vote. Those shocking images stirred the conscience of the nation and helped pave the way for the passage of the Voting Rights Act just months later.

As we mark the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday, I’m thinking of my friend and American hero John Lewis.
I’ll keep fighting to combat animal cruelty, defend endangered species, and support commonsense policies that promote the welfare of animals.

Honored to be recognized as a “Humane Champion” by the Humane World Action Fund after earning a 100+ score on its 2025 Humane Scorecard for my work in Congress to protect animals.
We have a solemn responsibility to care for the families of the fallen and for every American who wears our nation’s uniform.
I continue to pray for the safety of all our troops in harm’s way.
Yesterday, I joined my colleagues on the House floor to mourn the loss of six American servicemembers, including Chief Warrant Officer Three Robert M. Marzan of Sacramento.
The Department of Homeland Security was created to keep Americans safe.
Kristi Noem failed to execute that mission. That’s why I supported her impeachment. I am glad to see her go.
We must restore leadership at DHS that respects the Constitution, due process, and the rule of law.
Janine and I join the Sacramento community in mourning the loss of Chief Warrant Officer Three Robert M. Marzan.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Robert’s family and all of our troops in harm’s way.
Wishing a Happy Holi to all who celebrate in Sacramento County!
Let us celebrate this festival of colors, love, and the beginning of spring.
May this season inspire us to spread love, foster tolerance, and strengthen the ties that bind us together.
I always love the chance to visit classrooms and help get kids excited about reading.
And the students even surprised me with a special song to celebrate my birthday! Take a listen:
Enjoyed celebrating National Read Across America Day at Schweitzer Elementary School in Carmichael!
I read “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” by Dr. Seuss and talked with students about all the adventures books can take you on.
Grateful for John’s partnership and tireless advocacy on this issue (and for the birthday wishes!).
Tuberculosis is preventable and curable, but it still takes far too many lives. I’m urging my colleagues to sign my letter calling for increased funding to eliminate TB globally and boost TB prevention and treatment here at home.
Great to welcome author and TB advocate John Green (@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social) back to my DC office today!
That’s why I introduced legislation last year to rename the Post Office on Marysville Boulevard in Del Paso Heights as the Grantland Johnson Post Office.
I’m looking forward to getting this over the finish line and honoring a Sacramento leader whose impact will continue to live on.
He believed every community deserves access to health care and transportation, pathways to education and good jobs, and the chance to raise a family in a safe neighborhood.
Grantland was a steadfast advocate for children, fighter for the less fortunate, and relentless in his pursuit for justice and equality for all Americans.
He later served in the Clinton Administration as Regional Director of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and then served as Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency.
Grantland broke barriers as the first Black person elected to the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.
While serving on the Board, he helped build affordable housing, strengthened family services, and improved transit access.
As Black History Month comes to a close, I want to highlight Grantland Johnson, a trailblazing public servant who helped shape the Sacramento region.
Born and raised in Del Paso Heights, Grantland attended Grant Union High School and earned degrees from American River College and Sacramento State.
