Americans are hurting because of the GOP

Mark Takano This is serious, friends.Last week marked 18 consecutive weeks of unemployment claims reaching 1 million or more.The Democratic House response? First, we passed the CARES Act — adding an extra $600/wk to unemployment benefits. Then, we passed the HEROES Act — proposing a second ro…

it's up to you

Mark Takano Team, I need to talk to you about something serious. Together we have accomplished so much over the last year. The Democratic House has passed nearly 400 bills, many with bipartisan support!But the GOP-controlled Senate has become a legislative graveyard. In fact — the HEROES Act …

our guard is up against the GOP

Mark Takano Hey team, Even though I’m confident that Mark has public support behind him, the GOP has a warchest to work with and a Republican working around the clock to shut Mark up and send him home. We cannot let that happen. Not when Trump is still launching attacks on our healthcare, our…

ONE-CLICK SURVEY what do you think of Trump's cruel move against international students?

Mark Takano Friends – International students studying at US universities are at risk of being deported – and all because they are taking online courses due to the pandemic. This move by Trump and the Department of Homeland Security will have huge impacts on colleges and students here in Califo…

two days from now:

Mark Takano While my colleagues in the House and I are committed to putting people first, the GOP’s agenda looks different — especially when it comes to voting rights. National Republicans know that expanding voting rights and making it easier to vote is not good for them. Which is why over t…

make it this one

Mark Takano I’ll get right to it — Republicans will be scouring our report on July 1st for any signs of weakness. We can’t let them find one. Our quarterly FEC deadline is just around the corner and we still need to raise $13,109 to meet our goal. Can you help? If you've saved your payment i…

what we need to do to reform policing

Mark Takano Here’s the hard truth we all face now: the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery were not random occurrences. They are a result of hundreds of years of systemic racism and discrimination perpetuated by an institution that has been given far too much power and fe…
