As a member of the Congressional Armenian Caucus, I remain committed to standing with the Armenian community here in the San Joaquin Valley and around the world.

I appreciate their commitment to supporting students and preparing the next generation for success!
It was a pleasure meeting with the dedicated staff from West Park Elementary School District.
We had a productive discussion on key issues impacting students and families, including workforce development, federal education priorities, and the importance of online safety and student privacy.
Programs like Food for Peace show that we can lead with both strength and compassion while advancing stability around the world.
I was proud to join Bread for the World for a bipartisan Food for Peace reception, where we highlighted the program’s critical role in combating global hunger and delivering lifesaving assistance to more than 45 million people in 35 countries.
Food insecurity is a global issue that demands serious, sustained attention.
Wishing these future leaders in the agricultural industry the very best of luck—our state and the Valley are fortunate to have them.

I was glad to join Asterra at today’s U.S. Water Week press conference to highlight the critical role reliable water supplies play in sustaining agriculture in California’s Central Valley, and the need to protect that future.

With more than 2,500 associates employed across our Valley, we had a meaningful discussion on workforce development, supply chain logistics, retail operations, community engagement, and sustainability—along with Walmart’s vital contributions to our local and state economy.
