When a federal agency isn’t responding, you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone. My team is here to help! John from Palmdale was having trouble getting answers from the Social Security Administration, so my team stepped in to help move his case forward so his brother could access the benefits he was owed. If you’re having trouble with a federal agency, my office is ready to help! Call my Santa Clarita office at (661) 568-4855 or my Antelope Valley office at (661) 839-0532.

Heads up, LA! New Burbank Airport terminal opens tomorrow! "All departing and arriving flights starting Tuesday will operate out of the new 14-gate, 355,000-square-foot terminal that replaces the existing terminal at the nearly 100-year-old airport."
As the rain moves in, let's all give huge thanks to the hard-working wildland handcrews who kept the Bouquet Fire under control over the past week.

The Santa Clarita Valley NAACP has been an important voice for equality, opportunity, and a stronger community. My team was able to join the NAACP’s Harlem Renaissance Gala, celebrating the fifth anniversary of the SCV branch and the work they’ve done to make a difference.

Welcome back to Earth, Crew-12!
President Trump’s comments about Los Angeles and San Diego are deeply concerning. I joined my colleagues from across California to condemn his remarks. Los Angeles and San Diego are home to more than 16 million Americans, including millions of Californians who deserve a President who protects them, not one who threatens their communities. This dangerous rhetoric should not be taken lightly.
