Riders deserve better. That's why I'm leading 32 of my California colleagues with @RepZoeLofgren, urging Congressional leadership to hold rideshare companies accountable if a rider or driver is injured on their watch. Drivers trying to earn a living and riders who want to get to

50,000 people were evacuated in Orange County because of a hazmat crisis at GKN Aerospace in Garden Grove. But many residents didn't even know they were living near these dangerous chemicals. I'm fighting for more transparency so residents know what's happening in their own

Pausing military sales to Taiwan sends a dangerous signal to U.S. global allies and partners, and emboldens the Chinese Communist Party. I'm fighting to protect our military commitments in the Indo-Pacific and keep the American people safe at home and abroad.

I just spoke with GKN Aerospace leadership and, once again, urged the company to take full responsibility for the hazmat crisis at their Garden Grove plant. GKN Aerospace informed me that they are establishing a fund through Orange County United Way to provide relief to those

With the worst behind us, now is the time for oversight. Our community deserves to know why this disaster happened and what those responsible are going to do to make sure it never happens again. I am going to do everything in my power to get those answers so our community can

Now that the evacuation orders have been lifted, I am focused on getting justice for the 50,000 families who were displaced by the emergency at GKN Aerospace. I've called on GKN leaders to not only take full responsibility for this weekend's chaos, but also to meet with our
