Rep. Norma Torres

California, early voting is underway! Make your plan to vote and make your voice heard. Find a voting location near you: caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov

Reports of increased ICE activity near Ontario schools are causing fear in our communities. Families are notifying the school district that they plan to pull their children out of class for the rest of the year because they are afraid.

It is always great to visit Chaffey College’s InTech Center and see workforce training in action! InTech is doing important work to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world opportunities, preparing students for good-paying jobs right here in the Inland Empire!

Early voting is open in LA, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. 🗳️ Election Day is November 3, but you don’t have to wait. Some vote centers are already open, and more open October 31. Swipe through for dates, and check your county’s locator for hours, which vary by site.

Trump and Republicans keep making life more expensive for working families. Gas prices are too high, and families are paying the price for their failed leadership. Californians deserve relief, not more excuses.

Today, I visited Phenix Truck Bodies & Van Equipment in Pomona to see how their team builds custom work trucks for municipalities, utilities, fire departments, and the federal government. Thank you to the team for welcoming me and showing me the work they do!

I introduced the Streamlining Affordable Housing Act to cut red tape, lower costs, and build affordable homes faster. My bill would help states simplify the process so more families in the Inland Empire and across the country can afford a place to call home.

Working families in the IE are paying the price for Donald Trump and House Republicans’ failed economic policies. While Wall Street profits, Americans face surging costs at the pump and grocery store. We need lower costs and policies that put working people first.

Claremont High students aren’t waiting around to demand safety and justice, they’re leading the way. I was proud to join their walkout as they raised their voices for survivors, pushed back against silence, and reminded everyone that no means no. #ClaremontCA #EndSexualViolence #StudentRights #CA35

"No one should die in the custody of the United States government," says @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social Chair Rep. @repespaillat.bsky.social. "Congress must use every available oversight tool to ensure those responsible are held accountable and these preventable tragedies do not continue."

I toured the women’s facilities, where women reported sewage backing up while meals were served. Now that this facility is federally owned, taxpayers deserve answers. Hardworking people with no prior violations are being taken from job sites and treated like criminals.

My heart is with the Eastvale community and the families affected by this horrific shooting. I’m keeping the victims and their loved ones in my thoughts as our community grieves.

Today is the LAST DAY to register to vote! Make sure your registration is up to date so you’re ready to make your voice heard. Check your status or register online now at registertovote.ca.gov. Don’t wait until it’s too late! 🗳️🇺🇸

I introduced bipartisan legislation with Rep. Chuck Fleischmann to connect more workers with advanced manufacturing careers and keep America competitive. We need to make sure American workers have the skills and training to compete for good-paying jobs.

We’re heading to Adelanto to demand answers. Families are sounding the alarm, serious questions remain about the treatment of people in ICE detention, and taxpayers are footing the bill. People deserve to know what is happening, where their money is going, and who is being held accountable.

I pushed for $25M in federal funding to complete the 71 Freeway improvements in Pomona, and we got it done. Kudos to the Mayor and City Council for their work to move this project forward. This investment will improve safety and reduce congestion for Inland Empire commuters.

Join us now!

WIC supports 7 million mothers, infants, and young children. Yet more than 4 in 10 eligible families miss out. My Improving Access to WIC Act cuts red tape, simplifies enrollment, and helps more families get the nutrition they need.

Excited to celebrate the groundbreaking of Pomona College’s new Center for Global Engagement! The Center will house 200 students and create new opportunities for global learning, cultural exchange, and community engagement. Congratulations to Pomona College on this exciting milestone!

This Breast Cancer Awareness Day, we honor the lives lost, celebrate the survivors, and stand strong with everyone continuing their fight. No one should go through this journey without the care and support they deserve. I am committed to expanding resources for patients and survivors from day one.

Racist conspiracy theories have no place in federal law enforcement, and they should never be used to justify targeting a sitting Member of Congress. This administration’s abuse of power to try and settle scores raises serious concerns about the weaponization of federal law enforcement.

Trump caused the diesel crisis driving up costs for truckers, farmers, and families across America. Now, he’s taking a desperate shortcut, lifting pressure on Putin to buy Russian oil. Funding a brutal foreign war to clean up his own domestic policy failure puts our entire nation at risk.

Being undocumented does not mean you lose your rights. And it certainly does not give federal agents a free pass to use force without answering for it. A 5-year-old child was in that car. Instead of explaining what happened, DHS is attacking the victim’s character to justify its agents’ actions.

Join us for a Plática to learn about your voting rights, what to expect at your polling place, and how to make sure your voice is heard this election season. Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Know your rights before you head to the polls!

We were proud to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Children’s Festival with the Vietnamese Community of Pomona Valley! The evening was a beautiful celebration of Vietnamese culture, community, and tradition. Thank you to everyone who came together to make this celebration so special.

I introduced the Improving Access to WIC Act to help more moms and young children receive nutrition support. My bill would help states cut paperwork and appointments, make it easier for doctors to connect patients with WIC, and identify eligible families already enrolled in Medicaid or SNAP.

Election Day is November 3. Make a plan to vote and know your rights. I’ve put together the important dates and resources you need to register, return your ballot, find your voting location, and make your voice heard. Save this graphic and share it with your family, friends, and neighbors.

Today, we remember the more than 1,200 lives taken in the October 7 terrorist attacks. We remember the families torn apart, the hostages who endured unimaginable suffering, and all those whose lives were forever changed. We must never forget the October 7 terrorist attack.

Los Angeles is home to 12.8 million people. San Diego is home to another 3.3 million. The President is talking about the destruction of two of California’s largest metropolitan areas as a “small price to pay.” That is not leadership. It is reckless and dangerous.

I secured $25M in federal funding to move the SR-71 Gap Closure Project in Pomona forward. This investment will mean safer roads, shorter commutes, and better movement of people and goods. CA-35 families deserve infrastructure that keeps up with our growing communities.

Ballots are dropping this week. Vote early, and if you don’t receive your ballot in the mail, check your voter registration at sos.ca.gov. Know your rights at the polls. Print, share, and bring these Know Your Rights at the Polling Place cards with you.

🎉 Here’s to our September birthday MVPs! We had a winning afternoon at the Montclair Senior Center celebrating everyone with a September birthday. Good food, great company, and plenty of reasons to celebrate our September all-stars. Happy birthday to the whole lineup! 🎂

I started my career as a dispatcher, and I know the skill, pressure, and responsibility that comes with being the voice on the other end. 911 dispatchers are first responders. I’m working to make sure our laws recognize them as such. Thank you, Elex Michaelson, for shining a light.

They attacked our Capitol. Now they want American taxpayers to pay them for it. I’ve fought to ensure taxpayer dollars protect our democracy, not rewrite what happened on Jan 6. Don’t ask Americans to pay for the fiction that attacking the Capitol was protected political expression.

Trump is using your tax dollars to fund propaganda. Calling an ad about a “final battle” a public service announcement doesn’t make it one. This Administration is trying to silence dissent. Americans deserve information from their government, not political messaging paid for with their own money.

This National Police Week, I was honored to welcome the San Bernardino County Police Department and Ontario Police Department. Their work keeps our communities safe every day. I’m grateful for their service, sacrifice, and continued commitment to protecting our communities.

The American justice system is not for sale. Reports that DOJ may drop fraud charges against a billionaire with powerful political ties raise serious concerns about who justice serves. We cannot allow fairness to be traded to the highest bidder.

Proud to join the bipartisan U.S.-Mexico Caucus to strengthen cooperation between the United States and Mexico. From trade and security to economic opportunity, this partnership impacts millions every day. At a time of growing tensions, we must build bridges, not barriers.

During National Police Week, we honor the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our communities. We remember Timothy Corlew, Hector Cuevas Jr., and Andrew Nunez and all 363 officers killed in the line of duty this year. Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

TORRES: When is the White House going to submit a disaster package for California? If you're not able to answer that question--- TURNER: Part of the problem is with CA leadership TORRES: There shouldn't be any mention of any supplemental, like the illegal Iran war, without giving CA what it needs

CA pays the bills, funds the agencies, and subsidizes the country. But when it’s our turn, when 7:10 fire survivors still can’t go home, suddenly the checkbook is closed? We sent $275B more than we got back last year. CA is tired of funding this government only to be abandoned.

It was great to see NASA astronaut Victor Glover at the Capitol today. Always proud to see someone from Pomona reach the highest levels and represent our communities in such an incredible way. His journey with the #Artemis program continues to inspire so many young people back home.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day One. Instead, his reckless handling of the war with Iran is driving up gas prices, fueling inflation, and making life more expensive. While billionaires cash in on his tax giveaways, Americans are paying more at the pump and at the grocery store.

It was a privilege to recognize local Vietnam Veteran Richard Beasom for his service and sacrifice with a commemorative lapel pin honoring the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. If you know a Vietnam Veteran who should receive this recognition, please contact my District Office at (909) 481-6474

The only thing "unhinged" here is a President calling for a private "army" to hover over legal voters. This blatant attempt to bully Americans out of their right to vote is pathetic. Our democracy doesn’t belong to anyone.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, abuelas, tias, and mother figures across #CA35. Thank you for all the love, care, and sacrifices you give your families every day. I hope you feel celebrated today.

Pomona residents: the Ganesha Park Stairs are now open! This exciting project was made possible by $3 million in federal funding secured through my annual Community Project Funding process. I’m proud to deliver investments that strengthen our #CA35 communities and improve quality of life.

I’m inspired by the leadership and compassion shown by the seniors at San Antonio High School! These students designed, fundraised, and built a “Kindness Den” at Sumner Elementary School to provide hygiene products, school supplies, and food to students in need.
