The Central Valley feeds our nation, powers our state, and defends our freedom.
But Sacramento keeps making California less affordable. Misguided policies are sending opportunities away and increasing costs for working families.
Our mission is simple: to make California freer, more affordable, and a place where every family can thrive.

From the gas pump to the grocery store, California families are feeling the pressure of rising costs.
@RepVinceFong and @DanielGarza make the case for expanding energy production, reducing red tape, and helping families keep more of what they earn. CC: @LIBREinitiative

Californians were supposed to get a completed high-speed rail system by 2020 for $33 billion.
We're 6 years past deadline. We have 0 trains, 0 tracks, and a new price tag of $230 billion.
Meanwhile, your tax dollars are funding tiki bars, luxury travel, and escape rooms for consultants. This madness needs to end.

Billions over budget. Millions wasted to fraud.
The next step should be to shut this project down once and for all.
CEO of California's doomed $231B bullet train project suddenly quits
$233 million is coming to California to strengthen rural healthcare, with major investments headed to Kern, Kings, Fresno, and Tulare counties!
I fought for this funding in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, and I’m grateful to @POTUS, @SecKennedy, and @DrOzCMS, for delivering resources to our rural communities. 🇺🇸

Proud to announce that China Lake, the Navy’s premier research, testing, development, and evaluation military installation, is receiving $2.575 million to develop cutting-edge biosynthetic capabilities for fuels, materials, and energetics.
This investment brings more needed manufacturing back to American soil so we no longer rely on other nations for critical defense materials.
This is a win for China Lake, the men and women serving our country, Ridgecrest and the Indian Wells Valley, and our national security. 🇺🇸

Our region is home to some of the most critical military ranges and test facilities in the world: NAWS China Lake, Edwards AFB, and Mojave Air and Space Port.
This is where America's warfighters get their technological edge and superiority.
Proud to launch the bipartisan Congressional Military Range and Test Facility Caucus to fight for the resources these facilities need to keep America ahead of our adversaries.

🌲A GIANT win for America’s Giant Sequoias

Happy National First Responders Day! 🚒🚔🚑
Every day, firefighters, law enforcement, paramedics, and emergency personnel answer the call to protect our communities. They selflessly run into harms way in our time of need.
To every first responder in CA-20 and across the country — thank you for your courage and sacrifice.

I’m honored to lead the formation of the Congressional Military Range and Test Facility Caucus with @KenCalvert, @Rep_Whitesides, and @RepGabeVasquez.
Our community is at the heart of military research, test, and development, from NAWS China Lake to Edwards AFB to Mojave Air and Space Port.
This caucus ensures these facilities continue getting the resources they need, and our men and women defending our nation are able to achieve their missions.

Instead of piling more costs onto hardworking California families, we're doing something about the costly mandates driving up prices.
That's why @RepVinceFong and I introduced two joint resolutions that passed the House to push back against California's burdensome shipping regulations.
Lower costs, not more red tape. That's what Californians deserve.

More taxes and regulations imposed by Gavin Newsom are pricing Californians out of their own state.
The highest gas prices. Sky-high costs. Unaffordable housing. Hidden taxes by unelected bureaucrats.
And instead of fixing the problem, Sacramento keeps making it worse.
That’s why @RepGallagherCA1 and I led two resolutions to push back against reckless California regulations driving up costs for Americans nationwide. This will reduce costs and save billions of dollars.

Our community knows the devastation that wildfires can cause. When disaster strikes, families should be getting support, not tax bills.
Thanks to President Trump signing my Doug LaMalfa Protect Innocent Victims of Taxation After Fire Extension Act into law, communities can focus on rebuilding, not having their support taxed.

Mexican cartels are flooding the U.S. market with avocados, collapsing prices for American growers and undermining our food supply.
I joined 6 California Republican colleagues in urging the Admin to curb these harmful import surges.
President Trump has made it a priority to open up markets, support our farmers, and combat the cartels that have wreaked havoc on our communities. Protecting California avocado growers accomplishes all these goals. 🥑

Pastors spend their lives serving others. Now they get a second chance at retirement security.
The Clergy Act is now law, letting ministers who opted out of Social Security opt back in.
Thank you @realDonaldTrump, @SenKatieBritt & @RepVinceFong for your leadership! 🙏

Every legal vote should count and every illegal vote should be stopped. Voter ID delivers just that. Read more in @FoxNews 👇
"Rep. Vince Fong, R-Calif., said voter ID 'is basic election security that the vast majority of Americans support, and 36 states already require.'
'While opponents are resorting to lies and fearmongering, Proposition 39 is commonsense reform in a world where you need an ID to rent a car, stay at a hotel, open a bank account or board a flight,' Fong told Fox News Digital.
'The DOJ's recent voter fraud bust in California is exactly why these safeguards matter.'"

Delivering for our community will always be my top priority and I'm proud to have secured needed investments for our district.
From a new F-35 hangar at NAS Lemoore, to critical water infrastructure, to a cybersecurity program at Cerro Coso, to public safety upgrades across the Valley, we are supporting the men and women who do so much for our community, state, and nation.

Today, my Clergy Act was signed into law!
Incredibly thrilled that this effort to take care of our faith leaders passed the finish line.
Thank you to @POTUS for your commitment to our faith leaders, @SenKatieBritt for spearheading this effort in the Senate, and Chairman @RepJasonSmith for your leadership!

I’m grateful to @POTUS for signing The Clergy Act into law and giving pastors, priests, and ministers the chance to re-enroll in Social Security and build a secure retirement for themselves and their families. Thank you @SenatorHassan and @RepVinceFong for their partnership in getting this across the finish line!

Worked to secure $1.37 million for State Route 58!
SR 58 is the only year-round, all-weather trans-Sierra route, connecting the Central Valley to national markets and carrying the goods that keep our economy moving.
It's a critical step in getting SR 58 the investment it deserves, and I am happy to have delivered it to Kern County.
