It is an honor to represent California’s 9th Congressional District, which is home to one of the most diverse and engaged constituencies in the nation. I hope you will take the time to explore my website, where you can learn about my work on key issues and discover how to take advantage of the constituent services my office can provide.
This “online office” is here to serve you, and facilitate communication as I represent your interests in Washington. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or questions that you may have. Thank you for visiting!
ATTENTION: The House of Representatives e-mail system is currently experiencing technical difficulties due to the high volume of incoming mail to all Congressional offices. During hours of peak demand, some constituents attempting to use the system may receive a message asking them to try back at a later time, when demand is not so extreme. If so, I encourage you to leave your comment by calling my Washington D.C. office at (202) 225-2661, or my Oakland office at (510) 763-0370. I apologize for the inconvenience.
