Thousands of people in my district who rely on Medi-Cal are at risk of losing their health care.

In David Valadao’s district, it’s even worse: 70% of his district’s population, depend on Medi-Cal, and all of them are at risk of losing it.

Valadao voted for this bill. He chose billionaires over his neighbors.

65 years ago today, President John F. Kennedy signed the Peace Corps Act, officially creating the Peace Corps .

Patti and I answered President Kennedy’s call to service fresh out of college, serving together in a small village in western Ethiopia. That experience changed our lives and inspired a lifetime of public service for us and for several of our children who also answered the call.

Happy 79th Birthday, U.S. Air Force!

Today we celebrate the founding of the U.S. Air Force and honor everyone who has worn the uniform since 1947 — defending our nation in the air, space, and cyber domains.

I’m proud to represent Travis Air Force Base — the “Gateway to the Pacific” — right here in our district.

To the brave men and women at Travis Air Force Base and in Air Force bases around the world: thank you for your courage, dedication, and sacrifice.
