Adam Gray

California Teachers Association members like Susie know how important it is to have a representative who actually listens to Valley families. Adam Gray is committed to investing in local schools, supporting educators, and making sure our kids have the tools to succeed right here at home. #CA13

This weekend Team Gray hit the doors in Madera and Atwater. No mailers, no middlemen, just neighbors talking to neighbors about what's working, what's not, and what comes next! #CA13 https://t.co/dkHigkoYMd

AFSCME Local 3930 member Astrid Zuniga is backing Adam Gray because protecting our most vulnerable communities takes a proven healthcare leader. Adam is working to expand local clinics, lower prescription costs, and support the care workers who keep our Valley running. #CA13 https://t.co/6iDqTHP8z4

Many people told me a UC Merced Medical school would never happen, yet here we are building the next generation of healthcare right here in the Valley. Soon students will have the chance to learn and serve our communities across #CA13. https://t.co/sAYtQLzYTn

For too long, critical water and energy projects in the Valley have been held up by an unpredictable and costly permitting process. Now, key provisions of my bipartisan CURRENT Act are included in the Senate’s bipartisan permitting agreement, bringing greater certainty to the Clean Water Act Section 401 process. We can protect clean water without allowing the permitting process to become an obstacle to the projects our farmers, water districts, and communities depend on. This is real progress toward giving the Valley more certainty and getting critical projects built.

Talk to anyone about going to the doctor, and it’s the same story: appointments booked out for months, packed waiting rooms, and feeling rushed out the door. Valley families and healthcare workers deserve better. I’m working to address our doctor shortage from the ground up, from building a new medical school to train more doctors here and keep them here, to expanding midwife services and maternal health resources across the Valley.

Reaching an agreement on permitting reform is an important and long-overdue first step toward fixing a broken process that has held back our ability to build things again in the Central Valley and across the country. Read my full statement.⬇️ https://t.co/k4IKIFvGpa

Congressman Adam Gray (CA-13) issued the following statement after Senate leaders announced the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026: “Reaching an agreement on permitting reform is an important and long-overdue first step toward fixing a broken process that has held back our ability to build things again in the Central Valley and across the country. I hear from folks in my district about the need for reforms to environmental laws like NEPA, CWA, and ESA, and this package delivers on all three. In my district, we’ve seen firsthand how important projects can take years to get built because they are held up by duplicative environmental permits, litigation, and other procedural delays. The Los Banos Creek Detention Dam Project - which expands an existing reservoir to allow for storage, groundwater recharge, and conveyance - was first proposed in 2012 but construction didn’t begin until the end of 2025. I attended the ribbon cutting at the beginning of this year. No project that takes six months to build should take over a decade to permit. It's not just water projects that are being held up. Streamlining regulations and cutting through red tape allows America to remain competitive in infrastructure and energy reliability on the global scale. Getting a bipartisan deal across the finish line will take continued work, but these types of projects can't wait. Congress needs to take this up immediately upon its return to Washington.” BACKGROUND:

"I’ve built my entire political career out of being a centrist. I’ve never shied from that. … If the White House or the Republican leadership were going to talk to somebody about votes or try to create some kind of bipartisan compromise, I would be one of the first ones that they would approach. Yet here we are on the heels, or excuse me, on the precipice of another election here, just less than two months away, and none of those conversations have really occurred." https://t.co/wLUy1lvHvh

This past weekend, Madera held its 95th Annual Old Timers’ Day Parade, one of the Valley’s longest running traditions celebrating our rich history and culture. Thank you to the organizers and volunteers who make this great event happen every year. https://t.co/YMvdcaVKqy

Will Kelly, Executive Director of the North Valley Labor Federation, is standing with Adam Gray this November! Adam puts Valley workers first and delivers results for hard working families across the Valley. #CA13 https://t.co/VeM1qkMmra

From Merced to Patterson, Modesto to Lathrop, Team Gray was on the ground this weekend. We're listening to our neighbors and putting in the work to build a Valley where every family can thrive. #CA13 https://t.co/u4Fx5fe6Ke

40 days until Election Day and just 20 days until vote-by-mail ballots drop. Every door knocked and every conversation matters in the Valley. Team Gray is on the ground talking to our neighbors about lowering costs, protecting our water, and delivering for Valley families. Help us keep up the momentum: https://t.co/piSxCROZh5

Stopped by Tacos Ilusiones in Merced and support another great local business. Hardworking owners like Alfonso keep our Valley economy moving forward and put our Valley on the map for incredible food. #CA13 #Merced https://t.co/uJkAwvvOqo

Big News For The Valley: UC Merced is officially ranked 30th best public university in the country. This is proof of what happens when we invest in our youth and give students a path to succeed right here at home. Thank you to the hard working students, faculty, and staff at @ucmerced who accomplished this huge milestone. #CA13

Baseball is back in Modesto, and folks showed up for the @modroadsters all season long. Affordable tickets, packed stands, fireworks and a playoff run made for a pretty good first year in the Pioneer League. It’s good to have baseball back in the Valley. Looking forward to many more seasons to come!

Higher diesel prices mean higher costs to run equipment, harvest crops, and get food from the farm to the table. Supporting our local ag community starts with lowering everyday expenses so our growers can keep doing what they do best, feeding America. #CA13 Get the latest Valley news here: https://t.co/5ULNB6KRYX

We're under two months away from Election Day. Every conversation on the ground helps us ensure our Valley's priorities stay front and center. Let's keep building a stronger future for the Valley. #CA13 https://t.co/OUHckUfnGI

Folks in the Central Valley know firsthand how quickly heavy rain can put our farms, roads and communities at risk. With major storms expected across California, we need to make sure our levees, roads and water systems are ready and that local communities have what they need to prepare. https://t.co/YyN3QVjbKr

This weekend, Team Gray was in Modesto talking directly with folks about what matters most to them. From lowering everyday food and utility costs to strengthening our water infrastructure and access to health care, we’re working to build a stronger Valley for everyone. #CA13 https://t.co/niWNnCe4gJ

A thoughtful piece from my colleague @Rep_Whitesides, who brings a unique perspective to the debate over AI after serving as NASA’s Chief of Staff and spending much of his career in aerospace. AI has enormous potential, but moving fast shouldn’t mean ignoring serious risks. George makes a compelling case for borrowing a lesson from aerospace: when the stakes are high, taking the time to understand the risks and put the right safeguards in place is just common sense. Worth a read. https://t.co/orGkbxJmpO

Thank you to the Fresno Deputy Sheriff's Association for backing me in this election. I’ve always stood up for our law enforcement professionals, and I'll continue working for our public safety officers in Washington. #CA13 #fresno https://t.co/ilu4ZDj8WV

Meet Modesto firefighter Lenny Arriola. Lenny is backing Adam Gray this November because of Adam's proven track record of delivering for first responders and prioritizing community safety. #CA13 https://t.co/MBZxUgKYEr

Team Gray was out in full force this weekend with volunteers knocking in Lathrop and Stockton! Listening to voters and focusing on practical solutions is how we build a stronger Valley. #CA13 #lathropca #stocktonca https://t.co/CTRqyqRupX

Thank you to the Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) for your endorsement. Public safety comes first, and I’ll always work to make sure our first responders have the tools and resources they need to keep Valley families safe. #CA13 https://t.co/ZGfGyxkUSS
