I condemn Azerbaijan's latest attacks on the Republic of Artsakh and demand the end of all hostilities by the Azerbaijani Army against the civilian populations of the Republics of Armenia and Artsakh.

Yesterday I met with farm workers in Tulare County & heard about their concerns around access to clean drinking water and high gas and grocery prices. Great to spend National Farmer’s day with these hardworking individuals who play a critical role in our ag industry. #CA22

Farming families want results in Congress. That's why I will continue to fight for real solutions to deliver water, cut red tape, and make it easier for our farmers to feed the world. Read the letter in the Hanford Sentinel:
