I could not be more proud of the students at Oak Grove Middle School in the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District for being 1 of only 3 schools in California to win the Excellence in Civic Learning Award and the only middle school to ever win the award.

Today we celebrate our Mother's. I lost my mother just over a year ago. Like all great Moms, she gave everything she had to my sister and to me. She taught us love, compassion, and extreme empathy. Happy Mother's Day all you great Moms!

On this Teacher Appreciation Day, let's take the time to thank our unsung heroes, our teachers. If we want to build the economy of the future, we must invest in our children’s education.

This is true. This seat is a long shot and is the only Democrat who can win in November. #CA50

"Democrats have a credible candidate in retired Navy SEAL Josh Butner... His profile could resonate in this military-heavy seat... It's likely the only scenario in which Democrats could win this seat is if both Hunter and Butner advance to November." cookpolitical.com/analysis/house

As citizens, we owe a special debt to veterans like Hector Barajas, who stepped up to defend a nation that promised to embrace them as full citizens for their service. Let's right these wrongs and bring our veterans home where we can give them the services they need and deserve.

Yesterday marked a year that we launched our campaign to put the people of the 50th district first, not personal profit and not special interest politics. With your continued support we will persevere and improve the quality of life for every American.

(2/2) I call on Ammar Campa - Najjar to come clean, tell the voters of California’s 50th Congressional District - What did you know, when did you know it, and how deeply were you involved?

(1/2) I have spent my entire life defending our nation from enemies foreign and domestic. It is disgusting to see that a political candidate would hide behind an anonymous website to smear and denigrate another candidate with deliberate falsehoods.

I am so inspired by our country's future generation of leaders for exercising their civil rights leaders by standing up. Thank you to the students for allowing me to participate along side Congressman Scott Peters in their Town Hall Forum about gun safety.

Team Butner out today at March for Our Lives. It is time for common sense gun legislation that will help protect our community while still protecting our rights. This is why I will not take a dime from the NRA. Its time to put the people first, not special interest politics!

Over the weekend, I had a great opportunity to host our campaign townhall in Escondido. Meeting as many community members as I possibly can in order to hear about the issues that are affecting them is of the utmost importance to me.
