Greetings!

Happy Thanksgiving! It was great to be back in our Orange County community this week. I am so thankful to represent you and our community in Congress. I hope you had the opportunity to spend time with family and friends for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
Giving Back to our Orange County Community
I spent some time this week giving back to our Orange County community.
I was so grateful to join the Fountain Valley Fire Department for the annual Spark of Love Toy Drive. These donations are distributed by local organizations and nonprofits to kids in our CA-48 community. Thank you to Council Members Ted Bui, Glenn Grandis, Kim Constantine, Fire Chief Ron Cookston, and Fire Marshall Michelle Rudaitis for participating!
I had the opportunity to distribute food at the Fountain Valley Senior Center with Meals on Wheels. It was great to see members of the community come together to support our senior community for Thanksgiving.
Supporting Small Businesses
Ahead of Small Business Saturday, I hosted my first roundtable with my small business advisory committee. We talked about the impacts labor shortages, the supply chain crisis and rising costs are having on small businesses. Small businesses are the backbone of our community, and I'm committed to supporting them in Congress.
Hearing From You
Next Tuesday, November 30th I'll be hosting a tele-town hall to hear directly from you and answer your questions about my work in Washington. Make sure to sign up here to get a call from me next Tuesday evening!
