DeSaulnier Digest
In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday, I have been reflecting on all I am grateful for, including the opportunity to represent the great community of Contra Costa County in Congress. I hope you are able to gather with family and friends this holiday season and that you stay safe and healthy.
Best wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Veterans Day is a special opportunity for us to gather as a community in recognition of the sacrifices and bravery of servicemembers across the nation. Our office celebrated with our local veteran community by attending events across Contra Costa. Throughout my time in government, I have been committed to supporting veterans and military families both here in the County and around the country.
The right to vote is a privilege that people have fought and died for. Tomorrow, November 8, 2022, is Election Day. Make sure your voice is heard and your vote is counted.
To address the public health crisis of gun violence in the United States, I hosted a town hall this week with special guests from U.C. Davis's Violence Prevention Research Program and Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Join us for a town hall on October 26th at 2:30 p.m. about local efforts that have proven successful in reducing gun violence in California and Contra Costa County, and how we can help to implement these policies nationwide.

I had the honor of leading debate on the House Floor on this critical bill twice this past week.
