Restoring Community Input and Public Protections in Oil and Gas Leasing Act
Another busy week working for YOU
Dear Neighbor,
I hope everyone had a great week! I wanted to share some updates on my latest work in Congress this week. Please scroll down to read more.
Legislative Updates
American Coasts and Oceans Protection Act
Thrilled to introduce my American Coasts and Oceans Protection Act today! Southern California is home to cherished beaches, flourishing marine life, and billions of dollars in ocean-based economic activity, but offshore drilling threatens all of that. It’s time to end new offshore drilling activity along our coast.
Restoring Community Input and Public Protections in Oil and Gas Leasing Act
This week, my Restoring Community Input and Public Protections in Oil and Gas Leasing Act passed out of the Natural Resources committee! The American people deserve a say and a seat at the table when it comes to oil and gas leasing on our public lands.
Veterans’ Education, Transition, and Opportunity Prioritization Plan (VET OPP) Act
Also passing out of the House Veterans Affairs Committee this week was my bipartisan VET OPP Act. We have a responsibility to provide America’s servicemembers with the best resources and opportunities as they transition back to civilian life, & my bill is a big step towards meeting that responsibility.

Did you miss my latest webinar?
Yesterday, I hosted a webinar with IRS Congressional District Liaison, Anabel Márquez and Michelle Breed with the Taxpayer Advocate Service. We shared important updates regarding the American Rescue Plan and the IRS that can help you and your family.

US Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton Tour
Distributing vaccines is key to ending the coronavirus pandemic, and I'm deeply grateful for everything US Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton is doing to get active servicemembers vaccinated. Special thank you to Commanding Officer Captain Perkins and her wonderful staff for having me!
Small Business Week
Today is the last day for National Small Business Week! Small businesses are vital to our communities, and now more than ever, it's important to support our local entrepreneurs and small business owners that make #CA49 so unique and special. Let’s honor our favorite local stops and shop small!
