I studied math & have a PhD in Differential Geometry and a background in wind energy technology. Elected to Congress in 2006, proud to serve CD-09 of California
From limiting automatic weapons access to demanding the CIA release to the public its use of torture in interrogations, we have all been made better by her unwavering service to this country.
Californians have lost a leader, and the Senate has lost a fearless voice for the American people.
I grieve along with her family and loved ones and hope we can all take a moment to remember the incredible legacy of this great woman and patriot.
Today we honor the achievements of the American labor movement. Our own Dolores Huerta led the charge in the fight for farm workers’ rights, breaking barriers as both a woman and Latina leader. I’m proud to call her my friend and one of my personal heroes. Happy #LaborDay!
The fact is: it’s only when we have a DEMOCRATIC Majority& a Democratic Governor that we are able to move an agenda forward that serves ALL people, not just a lucky, wealthy few. I urge my fellow Californians to vote NO on the #California#Recall! @jerrymcnerney@DADianaBecton
The president’s continuous inflammatory rhetoric incited riotous behavior and violence against Americans this weekend in DC. His intent is to overthrow a legitimate election. This is sedition and a clear threat to our democracy.
It’s been a privilege to work alongside @KamalaHarris as we’ve fought for Californians, and I’m excited to continue that work for Americans across the country. The #BidenHarris2020 administration will put our nation on a path forward.
We have a critical choice to make this November. Will we choose division and fear, lies and corruption? Or will we choose to work toward building that more perfect union – a nation of inclusivity and innovation with a government that puts the well-being of its people first.
Yesterday I attended a rally organized by young Stocktonians to protest the murder of George Floyd. I stand in solidarity all Americans who are demanding systemic change to the racially unjust policies that have led us to this place of rage and despair. recordnet.com/photogallery/S…
Today we honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. To the men and women of our armed forces - those we have lost and those still serving on the front lines today - thank you. #MemorialDay2020
To all the members of our military and our military families, especially those who have lost their service member, thank you. We owe you. We can never lessen the magnitude of your loss, but this I can promise you: we will never forget. #MemorialDay
Young people around the world had the courage to speak out, now it’s up to us to take action. #Climatechange is the greatest crisis of our time & we need bold change NOW. I’m proud to support these extraordinary young leaders & I’ll continue to fight with them. #ClimateStrike
Eighteen years ago, tragedy struck our nation. Today we mourn those we lost and honor the brave first responders who rushed to help those in need. We must #NeverForget.
