Students, today is National App Challenge Day, which means applications for the 2026 Congressional App Challenge are open!

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, and they’re using all that power to do... nothing.

Today I'm co-founding the bipartisan Congressional American Film Production Caucus with Rep. Brian Jack, Rep. Nate Moran, @replindasanchez.bsky.social, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, and Rep. Tom Suozzi.
No single state can outbid a foreign government.

In Congress I’m working to defend this program from Trump’s cuts. For the children. (2/2)
What I saw at Para Los Niños Early Head Start center in Hollywood reaffirmed my commitment to protect the program. I saw children who play and grow in a safe environment. I saw parents able to go to work to support their families knowing their little ones are in good hands. (1/2)
