There are about 124,400 farmers in California, according to the latest U.S. Census of Agriculture, and they produce a variety of food and farm products unmatched anywhere. Happy National Farmer Day!

Schools would be the last to benefit if this passes and we would all pay at the grocery store! We need a better alternative to fund schools - or maybe better accountancy of the funding schools have not been getting from lottery and tobacco dollars!

In Northern California, we have experienced two of the most destructive fires in California history, the Camp and Carr Fires, and many people are still struggli...ng to recover. Proactively managing our forests is the best way to minimize the risk of wildfire in the West and protect our areas from further disaster. Today, I introduced the Emergency Wildfire and Public Safety Act, which takes great steps to streamline forest management, like creating fuel breaks and three 75,000 acre wildfire risk reduction projects in the West, to make sure that our forests stay healthy and intact. I’m glad to spearhead this bill with Rep. Jimmy Panetta in the House, as well as Senator Steve Daines and Senator Dianne Feinstein in the Senate to refortify our forests and, in turn, increase public safety to the areas that are contending with wildfire season. Putting people to work in the forests right in our own back yard has many positive benefits.
