What are Trump’s tariffs doing to Los Angeles?!

Week In Review

Dear Neighbor,

Trump’s tariffs? A total gut punch to LA—hurting our port, raising prices, and threatening jobs. Instead, I’ve been fighting and putting our neighborhoods first.

Let’s break it down:

Let’s get into it ⬇️

🚢 Trump’s Dumb Tariffs = Higher Prices, Fewer Jobs

I inspected the Port of LA, where Trump’s 145% tariffs on everything from strollers to gaming consoles are slowing cargo to a crawl. Lower volume means fewer jobs, emptier shelves, and higher prices—and I’m not letting it slide.

🛍️ Supporting Small Biz, Defending the Dream

This National Small Business Week, I joined the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to lift up entrepreneurs and small businesses in Los Angeles like Nativo and El Gallo Bakery. While Trump attacks community lenders, I’m fighting to protect the economic engines on every corner of LA.

🥇Honoring Nurses, Teachers, and Public Servants

This week, we celebrated nurses, teachers, and public servants—the people who keep our communities running. From standing with nurses on the frontlines to joining Mr. Avila’s students at El Sereno Middle for our App Challenge, I’m proud to honor your service and spark the next generation of changemakers.

🧸 Standing Up for Families with MomsRising

This Mother’s Day week, I rallied with MomsRising to stop Medicaid cuts that hurt families. We took our fight to Capitol Hill—because no kid should lose healthcare so an ultra-wealthy billionaire can buy another mega yacht.

Thanks for staying in the fight with me.
