Father, husband and veteran proudly representing California’s 24th District. Working to protect the environment, improve our economy, and support our veterans.
Proud to secure $770,000+ for the Goleta Sanitary District to install a brand-new anaerobic digester that will improve sustainability for our communities and reduce carbon pollution.
The future of the Central Coast is bright, clean, and renewable! 🌱
I believe you should be able to live on the Central Coast without breaking the bank.
At my meeting with the California Association of Housing Authorities, we discussed ways to make housing affordable via Housing Choice Vouchers and reduce homelessness in our community.
My Santa Barbara office was been home of this quilt celebrating the life of Central Coast advocate Mitch Kincannon.
Proud to join Quilt Project Gold Coast in helping to remember all who we have lost to HIV and AIDS.
Welcome to
@RepTimKennedy
!
Looking forward to working alongside you as we tackle critical issues and work across the aisle to get things done for the American people.
Welcome to our newest New Dem,
@RepTimKennedy
, representing New York’s 26th! Now 100 members strong, New Dems will keep working across the aisle to make life better for all Americans.
Republicans tried to abandon bipartisanship on government funding, debt limit, national security, and other legislation to force through extreme cuts.
They still had to work across the aisle to get anything signed into law.
Why do they think the Farm Bill will be any different?
Cutting $30 billion from SNAP would be a rotten, stupid thing to do, but it’s exactly what the GOP has in mind for the farm bill.
@HouseAgDems
won't tolerate it. We’ll fight back on behalf of the 40+ million Americans who depend on SNAP to put food on the table.
This past year, I fought hard to deliver more than $13 million for projects across the Central Coast!
One of these projects was replacing the radio dispatch system for the San Luis Obispo Sheriff’s Office. 📻👮♀️
This week is National Nurses Week, a time set aside to honor some of the most dedicated and often overlooked health care professionals in the field.
Today and every day, let’s commend the hard work and expertise of the nurses who make the Central Coast a better place.
Los 'Dreamers' son nuestros vecinos, enfermeros, maestros y dueños de negocios –
@POTUS
y
@VP
creen que merecen la misma promesa de una atención médica accesible.
Yo aplaudo esta expansión que ayudará a miles de jóvenes.
Dreamers are our loved ones, our nurses, teachers, and small business owners – and
@POTUS
and
@VP
believe they deserve the same promise of affordable quality health care.
I applaud this expansion, which will help more than 100,000 young people.
🇺🇸 May is Military Appreciation Month, a time to thank servicemembers and veterans for their service and sacrifice for our country.
As a veteran, I am proud be advocating to raise the quality of life for servicemembers, veterans, and military families in Congress.
Florida’s near-total abortion ban went into effect last week, essentially ending access to abortion in the Southeast.
@HouseDemocrats
and I will continue to fight until the protections of Roe V. Wade are restored and the choice is YOURS again.
We're back with another episode of Salud Street! 👋🚨
Today, we're discussing the 1️⃣4️⃣ projects bringing 💲1️⃣3️⃣ million+ in federal funding to projects up and down the Central Coast!
Proud to vote for the
@USDA
budget that’s delivering $818,000 to the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden—helping protect wildlife & water resources while teaching youth the importance of conservation.
Together, we’re planting seeds of good on the Central Coast!
I've been fighting to reverse VOCA shortfalls in Congress, because I know the devastating effect cuts have on Central Coast organizations that help survivors.
I promise to keep working to ensure adequate resources are restored for these critical programs.
Wishing a happy Teachers Appreciation Week to teachers on the Central Coast and beyond!
Your hard work and dedication to our youth do not go unnoticed.
Friends, remember to thank a teacher this week! 📖
Wishing all the best to Rob Heckman, Robby Hazard, and Troy Begg on their retirement from the Santa Barbara County Fire Department!
These guys together have more than 75 years of service keeping the Central Coast safe. 🚒👨🚒
Since the start of this Congress,
@HouseAgDems
have made it clear: SNAP cuts are off the table in the Farm Bill.
But Republicans have now walked away from bipartisan negotiations, insisting on those cuts.
More political games only hurts our farmers and the families they feed.
Today on National Holocaust Remembrance Day, let us honor the millions who perished during the Holocaust.
We must never forget, and always stand together against antisemitism, hatred, prejudice, and bigotry.
