Public transit riders (myself included) are always looking to stay safe on our commutes.
This is why I'm leading a new bipartisan bill to ensure transit agencies can hire police officers.
In Congress, I will continue finding ways to lower housing costs, reduce homelessness, and provide the support needed to succeed. (2/2)
November is National Homelessness Awareness Month. In recognition, I visited My Friend's Place: a local nonprofit that provides young adults the resources they need to transition out of homelessness. (1/2)
Everyone deserves a warm meal & plenty of holiday cheer this Thanksgiving. I was so honored to help dish up some of that at Hollywood Food Coalition's Thanksgiving Meal Service.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is about showing up for each other.
Grateful to join Union Station Homeless Services to help prepare meals for Angelenos who need a little extra support this holiday season.
I hopped on LAist to talk about my newest bipartisan bill that will make our public transit more safe – without fare increases or reductions in service.
Take a listen to a snippet of it here:
Heartbroken to learn that two National Guard soldiers were shot earlier today. These were Americans who stepped up to serve, answering the call whenever they were needed. I’m praying for them, their families, and loved ones. Violence like this can never be tolerated.
We’re sending a clear message: safety and service must go hand in hand. Because confidence in our public systems starts with knowing you’ll get home safe.
Proud to have made this announcement alongside Assemblymember Schultz, Burbank Mayor Perez, LA Metro, LAPD, and Metrolink.
This bill makes that real by:
1️⃣Hiring more transit officers
2️⃣Upgrading safety infrastructure
3️⃣Lifting the cost burden off local taxpayers
There's a reason it's already endorsed by the TWU and ATU.
🧵No one should feel like public transit is too dangerous to ride. That's why I'm leading new, bipartisan legislation with Rep. Malliotakis.
The Safe and Affordable Transit Act is commonsense — and it will help restore safety and confidence in our public transportation.
I’ve spent my entire career in public service fighting to protect wetlands & the communities that rely on them, so I’m not shrinking from this fight. (2/2)
By cutting wetland protections out of the Clean Water Act, this administration is putting drinking water in serious jeopardy for millions of Americans. (1/2)
Melrose is going full 1980s on November 23rd with CicLAvia! My office will be there to help you with any issue you’re having with a federal agency.
Take the Metro and walk, bike, or skate your way through 4 car-free miles of Stranger Things-inspired fun this weekend.

Proud to join @friedman.house.gov and Congressional Jewish Caucus colleagues to demand answers on the Coast Guard’s weakened stance on swastikas and other hateful imagery.
Hate cannot be tolerated and we need to know how and why this happened.
jewishinsider.com/2025/11/cong...
The swastika and the noose are not “potentially divisive” — they are hate symbols. Full stop.
Today, I led the Congressional Jewish Caucus in demanding answers from DHS Secretary Noem about how this dangerous policy shift at the Coast Guard was ever considered. friedman.house.gov/media/press-...
Appreciate @governor.ca.gov’s leadership keeping production and jobs in California. As Hollywood's representative in Congress, I’m working on a National Film Tax Credit to build on this success and help keep American production competitive globally while protecting our local economy.
The U.S. Coast Guard reversing course on this is an insult to history and to every American who fought the Nazis, including members of my own family.
Words cannot describe how appalling this is. The swastika is not just a “potentially divisive” symbol — it represents the systematic murder of six million Jews.
The noose is a symbol of the lynching of Black Americans used to instill fear and enforce white supremacy.
We must do all we can to reject prejudice and to keep our transgender family and friends safe, so they not only survive, but thrive. (3/3)
