Wishing all who are celebrating Holy Week a blessed Good Friday today and happy Easter as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
– 1 Peter 1:3
Delivering for my district is my top priority.
I’m proud to secure resources for 13 projects to support CA-40 public health and safety across Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties through the FY24 Appropriations bills.
On Vietnam Veterans Day, we remember the service, sacrifice and heroism of Americans who served in the Vietnam War and that many did not receive appreciation they deserved upon return.
My team has proudly pinned nearly 70 Vietnam era veterans and spouses. If you are or know of a CA-40 Vietnam era veteran or spouse who would like to be recognized, learn more below.
THANK YOU AND WELCOME HOME!
Supporting moms, babies, and families is personal to me.
In FY24 Appropriations bills, I secured resources for the:
- Stillbirth Working Group
- Maternal Mental Health Hotline
- Midwifery training
- and more.
I'll keep fighting as Maternity Care Caucus co-chair to uplift women.
Team Young was thrilled to join and share information about opportunities for students at the South Orange County Women’s Business Conference hosted by Assemblywoman Diane Dixon featuring women leaders in government, business, and nonprofits.

In Congress, I'm fighting to support our small business owners who are creating jobs in our communities, supporting local economies, and living their American dream.
Wishing a happy Holi and bright celebration of Spring to all who are celebrating!
May this festival of colors remind us that good triumphs evil, love surpasses hate, and light overshadows darkness always.
Months after the Biden administration elevated Vietnam to a Comprehensive Strategic Partner, Vietnam Communist Party Secretary Trong is welcoming Putin.
I believe the Biden administration must condemn this visit and Vietnam’s government must reverse course.
