Dear neighbor:

I was honored to join President Biden, Vice President Harris, U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Katherine Tai, and others at the White House this week to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. I am grateful to the President and Vice President for their leadership and commitment to addressing the needs of the AAPI community. The reception was a wonderful reminder that America is great because of its diversity. To learn more about the contributions of the AAPI community, please visit the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) website.

I’m also pleased to announce that since our historic infrastructure bill was signed into law by President Biden six months ago, $9.7 billion has been allocated to California to repair roads and bridges, modernize our airports and ports, deliver clean water, and more. This is just the start of the transformative impact this law will have on our community. Democrats are building a better America for the people.

Here are some other items I’ve been working on this week:

• Issued a statement condemning the hateful shootings in Laguna Woods and Buffalo this past weekend. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. 
• Voted in favor of legislation that provides $28 million in emergency funding to give the FDA the resources it needs to address the urgent baby formula shortage.  
• Helped pass the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act – a bill to provide law enforcement and our communities necessary resources to fight threats from domestic violent extremists. 
• Participated in a Judiciary Committee hearing on abortion access.
