Dear John,

Happy Friday! This week I'm working with my colleagues to sound the alarm about a dangerous new regulation coming out of Sacramento. The deadline to apply for a Summer Internship in one of my offices is coming up quickly, and my team and I are proud to highlight an outstanding organization in our community providing critical job skills and opportunities.

Get the details about all of this and more below, and make sure to follow my Facebook, Instagram, and X to get these updates in real-time.

Pushing Back on Sacramento's Dangerous Energy Agenda

Sacramento is getting ready to implement yet another misguided regulation that will jeopardize the safety of critical supply chains and burden our economy. The Commercial Harbor Craft (CHC) rule, being promulgated by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), will require towing vessels operating in the state to install diesel particulate filters (DPFs).

These DPFs have been linked to dangerous fires in diesel engine trucks and compliance will cost each vessel owner approximately $5 million. I'm leading a contingent of the California Congressional Delegation in sending a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom calling on him to delay implementation of this new rule.

DEADLINE: Intern in My Office

The application to intern in my Washington, D.C. or Cypress, CA offices for the Summer is closing March 31st. Students selected for an internship will gain invaluable work experience while learning about the inner workings of the House of Representatives.

Candidates must possess excellent writing and verbal communication skills. In addition, we are seeking highly collaborative team players with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. If you are a hardworking, dedicated individual who has a desire to help improve the Southern California community, this internship is for you!

What I'm Reading

Orange County Register: Don’t let California politicians gaslight you. Higher gas prices are driven by deliberate policy choices.

Gas prices in California are the highest in the nation, and the state recently announced its policies are about to drive them even higher. A recent Los Angeles Times editorial completely misrepresented the root causes and attempted to cast blame in the wrong place.

Four California House Republicans are demanding to know why federal prosecutions of illegal immigrants with a criminal conviction and deportation declined significantly in one Justice Department office, after they were caught illegally re-entering the U.S.
