| March Message from Assemblymember Carrillo |
Welcome to the March edition of our newsletter! As we welcome the season of spring, I'm excited to share important updates with you, including the introduction of our bill package. So far, we've introduced 18 bills aimed at addressing key issues impacting our community.
March is also Women's History Month, and I'd like to take a moment to celebrate the incredible women who shape not only our lives but also our work in the Legislature. I am personally grateful for the support and inspiration I receive from the strong women in my life, especially my wife and daughter, whose influence continues to guide and motivate me every day.

| Congressman Whitesides' Weekly Update: March 10, 2025 |
This week in D.C., I continued meeting with constituents and groups that serve California’s 27th District, and had important conversations about the most pressing issues facing our community.
I was also honored to welcome officials from the U.S. Navy into my congressional office on Wednesday as they presented me with their official Seal. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, I am proud to honor the world’s best Navy and our shared mission of keeping this country safe.
Many of you have reached out to my office regarding the recent U.S. House of Representatives budget resolution and the risk it poses to programs like Medicaid and Social Security. I understand that many of my constituents rely on these programs to survive, which is why I voted against the resolution that would require cuts to Medicaid and other federal benefits. I will keep you updated as I learn more. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office through my website with your concerns and questions.
