I celebrated Earth Month by hosting a Trail Talk this weekend at Shoreline Park in Mountain View! It was great to connect with constituents in a more low-key way, learn a lot about ecological efforts in the district, get some steps in & mostly avoid the rain. A fun morning & a great time had by all!

A great community coffee in Portola Valley this morning. I always appreciate our conversations on issues important to our communities and how we can find real solutions. Thank you to everyone who braved the rain to join us!

May we be inspired by this story and recommit ourselves to the pursuit of freedom for all. Chag Sameach! (2/2)

Happy Passover

Tonight marks the first night of Passover, a story of community and liberation.

As we gather around the Seder table this evening, let us remember that we, the Jewish people, began our journey as “strangers in a strange land.” (1/2)

President Trump has publicly admitted that the more Americans vote in 2026, the worse off Republicans will be. As the cost of both the war in Iran and gas in America skyrocket, Trump’s approval has cratered to historical lows. Faced with the potential for massive and embarrassing losses in the midterms, Trump is now trying to erect as many unnecessary barriers as possible to voting, with the goal of disenfranchising millions of Americans who are tired of his incompetence, corruption, and cruelty. This is an attack on our democracy, plain and simple. Republicans don’t care about voter fraud. This is the arsonist trying to cosplay as a firefighter. Donald Trump personally called election officials in Georgia and demanded that they “find” him 11,000 more votes in 2020, attempting the greatest voter fraud in our nation’s history. Trump pardoned every insurrectionist who participated in the January 6th riot on our nation’s Capitol, the gravest attack on our democracy since the Civil War. The idea that Trump could be trusted with determining the rules for our elections is as laughable as it is terrifying.

Trump’s recent Executive Order to restrict mail-in voting is not only unconstitutional, but a blatant attack on our election system.

As the author of CA’s universal vote-by mail law, I’m appalled, but not surprised, by these attempts to undermine our democracy & disenfranchise millions of voters.

Today, we honor this movement and the vital contributions of farmworkers in my district and across the state, who are not only the backbone of the agriculture industry, but the heart of California. (2/2)

In California, the story of the farmworker movement highlights the power of community voices to create change, and advance dignity and equity for all. (1/2)

Thank you to our amazing panelists for facilitating such an engaging presentation.

If you were not able to join us, or missed any part of the event, we have a recorded version of the seminar up on my website for you to watch or send to a friend! (2/2)

Amazing turnout at our first AI Basics for Everyday Life Seminar — with over 750 constituents who signed up!

From learning how to spot AI generated content to learning more about how AI works, I hope everyone walked away with more confidence in understand AI. (1/2)

The payday lending business is dependent on trapping Californians in a cycle of reborrowing, leaving them worse off than when they started.

It’s time to end the payday loan debt cycle.

I’m proud to author AB 2558 to protect Californians & their hard-earned dollars from these predatory loans.

Hangar One at Moffett Field is one of the most iconic sites in my district and across California, but it had fallen into disrepair and was in need of abatement of toxic substances and a massive effort to renovate the historic structure. (1/2)

A truly beautiful evening at the inaugural Muslims of Menlo Park Atherton Ramadan Iftar! It was special to have a chance to sit together, eat together, and remember that what unites us is far greater than what divides us. And it was great to meet so many people, including lots of neighbors!

An excerpt from the Palo Alto online article about AB 2003 (Berman): “Too many communities across California have been devastated by youth suicides, including my hometown of Palo Alto,” said Berman, whose district includes Mountain View, Palo Alto and Menlo Park. “We must do everything we possibly can to prevent these tragedies.”

I introduced AB 2003, in partnership with the @californiacbh.bsky.social, to provide life-saving suicide prevention training to ensure our students, teachers, administrators, and parents have the tools necessary to support young people in need.

We must do everything we can to prevent suicide. (2/3)

The headline from the Palo Alto online article on AB 2003: “Berman bill aims to enhance suicide prevention training at schools — education would be available to all students, teachers, parents”

Great to join @governor.ca.gov and colleagues for the bill signing for a $590 million emergency loan to support Bay Area Transit agencies that will protect service for hundreds of thousands of transit riders, and get hundreds of thousands of cars off of the road every day.

One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to occasionally be a tour guide for students visiting Sacramento from the district. 

It was great to welcome the Latimer School from San Jose and show them their State Capitol! I am always impressed by our future leaders and their amazing questions!
