Northern California families are paying more but getting less. I see it every day. That’s why I’m fighting in Congress to lower health care costs, build more housing, and bring down prices at the pump.

Families across the Sacramento region continue to pay the price for Trump’s war with Iran. In Congress, I will continue fighting to bring this war to an end and lower costs from the gas station to the grocery store.

As a doctor, I know that politicians should never make medical decisions for women. That’s why I’m leading the fight in Congress against Trump and anti-abortion extremists who are trying to roll back our rights.

There will be no meaningful oversight or accountability of this corrupt Administration until there is a Democratic majority in Congress. November is coming.

A free press is fundamental to who we are as a democracy. President Trump’s decision to ban outlets from White House grounds simply because he doesn’t like their reporting is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. I support CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO challenging this ban and their commitment to defending the free press.

Thank you to the Nevada County Democrats and Indivisible Nevada County for the warm welcome last week! With just three weeks until Election Day, I’m humbled to have so many dedicated volunteers and supporters working alongside us to protect our democracy and build a better future for our children and grandchildren.

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
