Foreign digital piracy costs the U.S. economy up to $71 billion and 560,000 jobs each year. I just introduced the bipartisan DEFEND IP Act, a smart, targeted way to fight piracy while protecting a free and open internet. I’m proud to be leading this legislation with @RepBenCline, @SenThomTillis, @ChrisCoons, @MarshaBlackburn, and @SenAdamSchiff. lofgren.house.gov/media/pres…

Did you know over $5 billion worth of America’s fruits and vegetables are grown in the Salinas Valley each year? I met recently with the @OrganicTrade Association to discuss how we can strengthen domestic organic supply chains and help #CA18 farmers thrive.

I commend @theNASEM on updating "On Being a Scientist: A Guide to the Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research." This report serves as vital resource for early-career researchers trying to navigate the scientific landscape while adhering to the expectations of Congress.

U.S. growers and shippers must have confidence that they will be paid for the products they sell abroad. Western Growers thanks Congress for its recent bipartisan support, urging USTR to secure PACA-like protections in Mexico as part of the USMCA renegotiations! Thank you @repjimcosta, @repjimmypanetta, @RepDavidValadao, @RepGallagherCA1, @RepCarbajal, @RepMikeLevin, @RepZoeLofgren, @RepBrownley, @RepGaramendi, @RepAdamGrayCA, @RepVinceFong, @repgabeevans, @RepJeffHurd, @RepDavidRouzer, @RepNewhouse for your leadership on behalf of fresh produce growers across the country! Establishing reciprocal, enforceable payment protections in Mexico will provide greater certainty and fairness for our farmers who are competing throughout North America.

The looming Super El Niño could break records with damaging floods, droughts, and crop losses.   After Trump weakened our federal weather infrastructure, I’m leading 41 lawmakers in calling on @NOAA to prepare and keep Americans safe.

It was a pleasure to visit @HartnellCollege’s Child Development Center in Salinas to celebrate the $250,000 I secured to help renovate their outdoor learning environment. Thank you for such a warm welcome, and I can’t wait for the kids to enjoy this new space!

Great to meet with @SantaCruzMETRO to discuss their work to get folks where they need to go safely and efficiently. I voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that funded many of these projects, and I’ll continue to support investments that improve mass transportation.

I met with @TheRealANCOR to discuss improving care for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities. In Congress, I’m fighting to protect Medicaid for these individuals and support the community providers who care for them.

Ranking Member @RepZoeLofgren at yesterday's hearing on natural disaster prevention: "We cannot allow federal disaster response to become a partisan game. Doing so will certainly lead to a race to the bottom that neither Democratic- nor Republican-led states can afford."
