My team and I are here to serve you. If you ever need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office. I also encourage you to receive real-time updates on my work for you in Congress by following me on Facebook, , Youtube and Instagram.
As we head into the fall and kids head back to school, I want to know what priorities matter most to you and how I can best serve you in Congress.

This week, I joined my colleagues to honor the last living survivor of the attack on USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, Commander Lou Conter of California. We will never forget the courage, bravery, and heroism of our Greatest Generation.

We are the land of the free, because of the brave. Team Young was honored to recognize the City of Mission Viejo, CA Marines of The Quarter with the Mission Viejo Marines and Sailors Adoption Committee. Congrats to Sgt Hermanet, Cpl Agyemang, Cpl Antle and LCpl Torres, and thank you for your service. Semper Fi!
Congress must be able to find common ground to get things done for the American people. That's why I introduced the Building Unity Through Dual Sponsors (BUDS) Resolution this week to bolster bipartisan collaboration.
Since day one, I have fought to break through the partisan gridlock, bring some commonsense to Washington, and get things done. The BUDS Resolution reflects this commitment and aims to encourage more bipartisanship and ensure we focus on delivering results for our constituents over petty infighting. I am proud to introduce this commonsense bill and am hopeful we can get this across the finish line.

Team Young joined the Tustin Community Foundation to celebrate those giving back in Tustin through important nonprofit work.
Not all heroes wear capes, and I am so grateful for our local superheroes making a difference in our CA-40 communities. Congratulations!

We will never forget the 13 brave fallen heroes who gave everything to save lives of Americans and our allies in Kabul.
Two years later, we remember their stories and rally with their loved ones.

Dr. King gave his historic "I Have A Dream" speech 60 years ago this week.
To this day, we remember MLK’s words and fight to make this dream a reality, so all Americans are judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin.
