Today, I introduced the BUILD Act with my Republican colleague, Housing Subcommittee Chair Mike Flood, to help tackle our nation’s housing crisis. Too often, red tape discourages builders from working with HUD. ⬇️

As we mourn the lives lost in this devastating act of violence and hold their families in our prayers, we must also confront the urgent need for change. We must expand access to mental health care—and we must finally limit weapons designed to kill as many people as quickly as possible.

These deaths are heartbreaking for our coastside community and coincide with a chronically understaffed and underfunded NOAA. The public deserves answers about NOAA’s current response to this spike in whale mortality.

Stablecoins are increasingly helping people make transactions with lower fees and fewer delays, and it ensures the primacy of the dollar. We need clear rules of the road, and the GENIUS Act is a good step forward.

If properly regulated, stablecoin can help millions of consumers reduce financial fees, expedite transactions, dampen inflation abroad, maintain dollar primacy globally, and ensure accurate records through an immutable blockchain.

This Congress’ first efforts to enact guardrails for stablecoin, enabling the regulated deployment of “digital dollars” where issuers are required to keep a 1:1 reserve for each and every stablecoin (eg, with treasuries or deposits).

The SUPPLY Act will empower homeowners to boost our nation's housing supply—and there's the added benefit of helping folks generate rent to help pay their mortgage, have a home for their parents, or for that child who's still living at home.

As mayor of San Jose, I cut red tape to make building ADUs easier, but one barrier remained: financing. The SUPPLY Act bill will help lower that hurdle, empowering homeowners to be part of the solution to our nation’s housing crisis.
