Dear neighbor, 

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope this holiday is an opportunity to enjoy rest, good food, and time with loved ones. I am grateful to be your representative in Congress.

As always, my staff and I are ready to assist you with federal agencies should you need it. Please call my Los Angeles office at (323) 651-1040 to see if we can help.  

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Last weekend, I joined Alex Witt on MSNBC to talk about my new bill with Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA), which would ensure proper and thorough FBI vetting for high-level White House staff. Protecting our national security intelligence from untrustworthy individuals shouldn’t be partisan issue—it's just common sense. Watch our full conversation below. 

GOBBLE GOBBLE: Making dinner for a crowd to celebrate Thanksgiving? Make sure your dishes (and leftovers) are food safe! The Department of Agriculture’s Thanksgiving Thawing and Cooking Calculator tells you exactly how to safely prepare turkey based on your turkey’s weight and your preferred cooking methods. Additionally, the USDA’s Meat and Poultry Hotline is available to answer questions by phone from 8:00 AM-2:00 PM ET on Thanksgiving at 888-674-6854. 

I look forward to updating you again soon.

Warmly, 

Ted
