I hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July. To continue commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we are hosting a Town Hall in Brentwood tomorrow evening, July 7th at 6:30 p.m. I hope you will join us for this conversation about our country's founding and the work ahead to create a more perfect union for all Americans.
Let me be the first to wish you a happy early Independence Day! We're just over a week away from ourin-person town hall in Brentwood on Tuesday, July 7th at 6:30 p.m. marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
As we approach mid-year, I am looking back on a packed six months in the East Bay and at the US Capitol. Already this year, I have hosted 10 town halls, and across CA-10, my team and I have attended 157 community events.
I am back in the East Bay this week and looking forward to our two upcoming town halls - an AANHPI Town Hall in Dublin this Wednesday and a virtual America 250 Town Hall with special guest Jeffrey Rosen this Thursday.
I am excited to share that I am hosting an in-person town hall Wednesday, June 17th from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. in Dublin to recognize and celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) history and culture with expert special guests. Join us for a wide-ranging discussion on issues impacting the AANHPI community, including immigration, the economy, and racial equity.
As we wrap up another packed week here in the East Bay, I am grateful for all the constituents who I connected with this week, and I am looking forward to community events our office is planning in the coming weeks and throughout the summer.
We are rapidly approaching our next opportunity to connect in-person and discuss the issues most important to our community. Join us next Tuesday, May 5th at 6:30 p.m. for a town hall in Lafayette for an update on my work in Congress and to make your voice heard. I look forward to seeing you and taking your questions!

Like many in our community, I was shocked and horrified to learn of the allegations of abuse against former Bay Area Congressman Eric Swalwell. Serving our communities in Congress is a privilege and sacred duty to the public, and the alleged actions of Mr. Swalwell and others makes them unfit to serve in this sacred office.
Like many of you, I was horrified by President Trump's threats of war crimes last week, and I swiftly called for his removal and reiterated my support for impeachment efforts. While I was relieved that Trump did not carry out these threats, I continue to believe he is unfit to hold our country's highest office.
My number one priority in Congress is and has always been to make life better for the people I represent. It's why I am so excited to share that I submitted 20 projects totaling over $46.7 million to benefit CA-10 for consideration as part of the annual appropriations process. These projects will invest in safety and easing congestion for drivers, bikers, and pedestrians, bolster emergency preparedness across the region, address housing needs, and strengthen crime prevention.
