Resources for California’s Fourth Congressional District Residents Affected by the New Trump Administration Policies

Dear Friend,

This page is dedicated to supporting residents of California's Fourth Congressional District in this time of profound uncertainty caused by the actions of the Trump-Vance Administration, some illegal and some unconstitutional.

Below, please find a list of resources my team and I have created for you. Please note that under House Ethics guidance, we are only permitted to share information from government sources—not private sector or nonprofit resources. We'll keep this page updated as we learn new information.

Please know, I'm committed to and working full-time to combat the Administration's unlawful actions by every means available. We are fighting this Administration's actions in Congress, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion. Click here to see how I'm fighting back.

To receive daily updates on my work in Congress, you may follow me on Facebook(link is external), Instagram(link is external), Bluesky(link is external), Threads(link is external) and X(link is external) or sign up for my e-newsletter(link is external) here.
