My team and I are aware of and are monitoring the horrific tragedy in the heart of Fairfield. I’m praying for the seven victims and their families, as well as the wider Fairfield community who are still struggling with this devastating situation. 

What should have been a weekend of celebration has turned into a tragedy. This horrific situation should never have happened, and I will do everything in my power to ensure it never happens again. 

I thank local and federal law enforcement for their swift response and service as they continue searching for the suspect. They have my full and unwavering support.

If you or someone you know has any information, please contact the Fairfield Police Department at 707-428-7600 or email 1030mall@fairfield.ca.gov or the Sacramento Field Office of the FBI at (916) 746-7000 or tips.fbi.gov

Patti and I are saddened by the news of Dolores Huerta’s passing.

Dolores was a very close personal friend and colleague with whom we worked for years on advancing social justice. We first worked with Dolores in 1976 during the farmworkers’ strike in San Joaquin County, where she bravely led the effort to improve working conditions for farmworkers.

Every moment of her extraordinary life was dedicated to improving the lives of working people.

Dolores’s determination to improve the conditions for working people brought her to Washington, D.C., where she and Patti marched hand-in-hand to improve the conditions for women.

Her work lives on through the Dolores Huerta Foundation and in the halls of Congress, where we will continue to work to make Dolores’s vision of workers’ rights a reality. I will never waver in my commitment to fighting for fair wages and safe, equitable working conditions for all workers.

Dolores also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and coined the rallying cry “Sí se puede,” a phrase that will live on with her memory.

Dolores’s life and memory will forever be a reminder of what can be accomplished through grit, determination, and, most importantly, a love for justice for all.

Mark my words: Trump's ICE will never use the Golden Bear for mass deportations.

Deporting migrants by ship is impractical, inhumane, and hurts our sealift capacity. It makes no sense at all.

Proud to stand with @RepCarbajal in pushing back against this nonsense.
