I met with Alejandro Espinoza, Chief of Community Engagement at Desert Healthcare District, to discuss the harm Medicaid cuts pose to our region.
From preventive care to critical treatments, Medicaid keeps families healthy and communities strong. These reckless cuts put lives at risk.

That’s why I introduced the bipartisan BENES 2.0 Act—to ensure people get clear, early guidance as they approach Medicare eligibility, protecting their health, their finances, and their peace of mind.
As we mark Social Security’s 90th anniversary, we must strengthen, not complicate, pathways to health care. Too many hardworking Americans are blindsided by lifetime Medicare penalties because they didn’t know when or how to enroll.
Mary Ann reached out to my office after facing difficulties securing her Social Security Administration Survivor benefits.
She contacted SSA multiple times & couldn’t get the issue resolved. We were able to help secure the $36,350 she was owed. ruiz.house.gov/casework.
While in Beaumont, I ran into a friend who attended and now works at Palm Innovation Academy. She shared how much she loves being part of a school community that shares a passion for learning and growth.
Esperanza’s dedication is a reminder of the lasting impact our communities’ schools have.
While I was in Beaumont, I had the pleasure of meeting Andric. He leads the “Dark Horses,” a Marine Riders chapter dedicated to serving veterans through camaraderie, open conversation, and what they call wind therapy, riding motorcycles together.

Three years ago, the #PACTAct became law. This piece of legislation delivered the largest expansion of benefits and care for toxic-exposed veterans in decades.
I remain committed to making sure every eligible veteran can access these benefits.

I co-hosted a Job & Resource Fair with County of Imperial amid the closure of the Spreckels Sugar Factory. It’s important to me to help the people of Imperial Valley get connected with opportunities and organizations that can help them find work & resources. #ImperialCountyJobFair
At Beaumont’s National Night Out, I celebrated the hard work #BeaumontCA public safety and first response teams do every single day. I am grateful for their bravery and dedication to our community.
Thank you to everyone that joined us at #BeaumontNationalNightOut.
Today, I met with chambers of commerce from across California’s 25th Congressional District to hear directly from local business leaders about the challenges they are facing amid Trump Administration policies.
By working together we can strengthen our economy and community. #CA25ChambersofCommerce
At San Jacinto’s National Night Out, I had meaningful conversations with residents about the everyday challenges they are facing.
It's so important to keep showing up, listening, & fighting for real solutions to improve the quality of life of the individuals I represent.

The science is clear: mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives.
Cutting $500 million in funding endangers our health, weakens our security, and abandons the very innovation that helped us through the COVID-19 pandemic.

I connected with families & first responders at Hemet’s National Night Out! It was amazing celebrating the individuals in our region that keep our community safe.
Thank you Hemet Police Department & City of Hemet for hosting a night full of service & community pride. #HemetNationalNightOut
After hearing directly from constituents about this crisis, I joined my fellow Doctors in urgently calling on the Administration to act now—sending food, water, fuel, and medical care to millions of innocent civilians in Gaza. Lives hang in the balance, and every moment counts.
I joined SDSU Imperial Valley to celebrate a new STEM building that expands access to higher education.
This investment means more opportunities for students, support for families, & a brighter future as #LithiumValley grows. Thank you SDSU & our community partners for making this possible.
BREAKING: The law is clear: Members of Congress have the right and the duty to conduct visits to DHS and ICE facilities.
Our lawsuit demands that the Trump-Vance administration follow the law.
Happy #NationalInternDay! I’m so grateful for our incredible interns in my Palm Desert, Hemet, El Centro, and Washington DC offices.
Your passion, energy, and commitment to serving our communities inspire me every day. Thank you for helping us make a difference!
The extreme hunger and starvation unfolding in Gaza is a dire humanitarian emergency.

HISTORIC MOVE: CHC Members are suing DHS—the first-ever lawsuit from Members of Congress against the Trump administration this Congress.
Why? Because obstruction of oversight, mass detention, and abuse of power cannot go unchecked.
