Teachers make a lasting impact on our communities and help children pursue their dreams. During #TeacherAppreciationWeek , I want to thank educators in CA-10 & across the country & restate my commitment on Committee on Education & the Workforce Democrats to supporting them in and out the classroom.

We hosted a ceremony at the Moraga Art Gallery to announce the winner of CA-10’s 2024 Congressional Art Competition. Congratulations to Nidhi Parachuri and her piece “Simply Chaos.”

Tune in for updates on our work in Committee this week to protect workers’ rights and to advance EV infrastructure projects made possible through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. I also cover community events, including our Congressional Art Competition awards ceremony.

Our office joined MDUSD’s Career Pathway Showcase to hear how MDUSD is helping students to be leaders in their communities and preparing them to enter the workforce. It was wonderful to hear from students and teachers about the projects they’ve been working on.

We stopped by Diablo Valley College’s Veterans Career and Resources Expo to meet with local service providers and to learn more about DVC’s efforts to support student veterans.

Each year, Future Build prepares young adults with the skills necessary to enter the workforce and pursue good-paying jobs. We’re proud to celebrate this year’s graduating cohort & look forward to seeing them apply their skills towards serving their communities. Congratulations!

Happy #AANHPI HeritageMonth ! I am proud to represent such a vibrant AANHPI community here in CA-10 and to recognize the innumerable contributions they and the entire #AANHPI community have made to our nation.

As a former small business owner, I know that when our workforce is protected, businesses benefit too. I had the opportunity at Committee on Education & the Workforce Democrats to hear from Acting Secretary Julie Su on the work U.S. Department of Labor is doing to protect American workers and their hard-earned retirement savings.

Supporting and protecting our mental health is one of the most important things we can all do. As we enter #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth , I'm continuing my work to advance policies like my Mental Health Matters Act to ensure everyone can access the care they need.

House Democrats have taken bold action to fight the impact of climate change. At today’s Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure hearing, I spoke about how the Democrat-led Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will help us achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 & remain competitive as we transition to clean energy.

Happy #SmallBusinessWeek ! As a former small business owner, I know the challenges these businesses face, which is why I worked with the Biden Administration to deliver record support for small businesses. As we celebrate this week, I hope you’ll #shopsmall in CA-10.

I’m glad to see nhtsagov taking action to review Tesla’s AV safety following concerns I raised with them. I continue to call for implementation of a federal standard to set a safety standard for all AVs.
