Standing Up Against Extreme SCOTUS Decisions: A Message from Rep. Huffman

Hello,  This has been a difficult month for us all in the face of an avalanche of extreme, precedent-breaking decisions by the Supreme Court.

More than “Thoughts & Prayers”- Addressing the American Gun Violence Epidemic: A Message from Rep. Huffman

Hello,Last week, we lost 21 innocent lives in a senseless act of terror at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

Defending Reproductive Rights: A Message from Rep. Huffman

Hello,Last week, I was outraged to see the leaked draft of the Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. Let me make sure one thing is very clear: in California and other states that care about women's rights, abortion will remain legal and safe.       But for millions of women in other states, the fundamental right to make their own decisions about abortion and potentially other reproductive services is about to be taken away by a radical Supreme Court. …  Continue Reading
