I met with the Karen Organization of San Diego – which serves families of Burmese descent – and met kids in their summer camp! We also visited PANA's Global Marketplace, which supports refugee-owned businesses like Doh Doh Coffee, the first Karen-owned coffee shop in San Diego.

The United States gives billions of dollars in weapons and training to foreign militaries every year. I just introduced a bill to make sure that it goes to militaries that respect human rights, follow the law, and aren’t corrupt.
Gun violence has shattered so many communities across this country – including ours, in San Diego. I’m grateful to be working alongside folks like the Alliance to End Gun Violence to end this epidemic and protect future generations from this unnecessary trauma.
I had a great time meeting these kids at John Muir Language Academy’s PrimeTime Summer Enrichment Program! Free summer school programs like this are so important for strengthening kids’ academic and social-emotional skills while their parents are at work.
Last week, I helped pack backpacks with school supplies with Home Start, a local non-profit focused on helping kids grow up in safe and stable homes across San Diego County. Every kid deserves to have everything they need to thrive in school and beyond.
Proud to visit Stepping Stone, which specializes in LGBTQ+-affirming treatment for substance use disorder, mental health services, and transitional housing. When it was founded in 1976, most treatment programs turned away LGBTQ+ people or asked them to closet themselves.
More U.S. strikes on Iran mean prolonged high costs for Americans, and higher potential for retaliation against U.S. service members – my constituents – in the region.
President Trump needs to abandon the strongman tactics and negotiate to end this war now.
I’m hosting a Telephone Town Hall this Thursday, July 16th at 7pm PT.
As always, there’s a lot going on right now. I’ll be here to give you an update about my work in Congress and answer your questions. I hope you’ll join me:
Republicans bankrolled ICE with billions of dollars, and now they’re killing people in our streets like it’s nothing.
We need immediate investigations – without any interference or threat of retaliation or deportation by the federal government. Justice for Lorenzo and Johan.
The Trump Administration is taking away immigrant kids’ access to lawyers and deporting them at a record pace. Child deportation needs to end NOW.
It was great to meet with Arts Education Connection. Every kid (and everyone!) deserves access to the arts because it shapes how they learn, grow, and see the world.
I loved meeting with some of the students and leaders from First Gen Scholars–an amazing organization that’s breaking down financial barriers so first-gen students can go to college debt-free. Investing in the next generation starts with making higher education accessible to all.
Are you a veteran or Gold Star Family member looking for your next way to serve? My office is hiring a Green & Gold Congressional Aide to assist the military and veteran community in my San Diego office. More details and how to apply here:
I enjoyed the tour at AtmoSense and learning about their work to build cutting-edge gas-sensing technology to keep our air, workplaces, and communities safer.
Federal funding makes breakthroughs possible. That’s why the Trump Admin’s reckless NIH and NSF grant cuts hit research institutions like Scripps Institute of Oceanography so hard. I met with fellows and grad students there to hear more about how these cuts have hurt their work.
Donald Trump is waging an expensive and reckless war and building a new White House ballroom (and now helipad!), meanwhile, half of Americans are struggling to afford gas and groceries.
It was great to tour AiCella & Invetech and see how they’re using AI to make lifesaving cell therapies faster, cheaper, and made in San Diego! This is what American biomanufacturing and responsible use of AI can look like.
I’m so grateful for Element Q, a place built by and for the LGBTQ+ community, where people can get identity-affirming mental health care and heal, grow, and thrive.
Policies that prevent, minimize, and address civilian casualties don’t just reinforce our values, they also protect our troops’ safety. Secretary Hegseth’s gutting of CHMR is directly hurting our national security.
It’s hard for everyone to afford the skyrocketing cost of living right now – including our seniors. I had a great time joining some seniors for lunch at the Bayside Community Center to talk about how to bring down costs, stand up to the Trump Administration, and more.
