I am so proud to have secured over $11 MILLION in Community Project Funding for 15 projects across the East Bay. Mayor Barbara Lee and Council members Janani Ramachandran and Kevin Jenkins joined me in my office in D.C. to celebrate the 3 projects that the City of Oakland received funding for.
Thank you to everyone who came out to my town hall with @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social and shared your concerns and priorities. Your voices and stories are the very center and focus of my work here and in Washington.

The health of our communities is directly linked to our environments, which is why I am so proud to present over $1 million dollars in federal Community Project Funding to the City of San Leandro for clean water infrastructure and new recreation opportunities for local residents.
We are on Day 77 of Trump's illegal and inhumane war. He is endangering the lives of civilians, shattering every global alliance we have built, and raising costs for Americans with a $29 billion dollar war. I will not support or give a dime to the President's senseless war in Iran.
I opposed to a bill that directly targets churches, charities, and nonprofits that provide bail support to families navigating a deeply unequal justice system. Bail support was a cornerstone of the civil rights movement, allowing people to protest unjust laws without fear they'd be locked away.
Two incredible women, Mayor Lee and Councilwoman Ramachandran from CA-12 joined me to wish you a happy Women's History Month and to honor the women who came before us.
Happy Small Business Week, Oakland! More than 85% of all businesses are small businesses in the Town. Small businesses are not the exception - they *are* our economy. I was honored to join Mayor Lee & the City of Oakland's Economic and Workforce Development Department to celebrate small businesses.
To wrap up small business week, I visited and held a roundtable with a few minority-owned small business owners from the Yemeni community in Temescal to hear about the unique challenges minority-owned small businesses face, to hear about their innovative ideas, and to try some delicious food!

On this Memorial Day, Edgewood ISD showed us exactly how to honor the moment. As the mom of an Army Sergeant currently stationed in Israel, I felt every bit of it. No matter where you stand politically, standing behind our troops and our country is something we all share.
