Hello, I’m proud to share with you that one of my bills passed the House of Representatives w ith unanimous, bipartisan support just earlier this month. The Emerging Innovative Border Techn ologies Act would look into investing in cutting-edge technology to help officers stop drug trafficking and human smuggling—instead of an ineffective and wasteful border wall. These tools could also help officers rescue migrants who are crossing in dangerous, remote places. I look forw ard to seeing this bill pass the Senate and make its way to President Trump’s desk. As I continue t o bring your voice to our nation’s capital, I’d like to take a moment to show you what I’ve been w orking on. HO ST ING COMMUNIT Y CO NVERSAT IO NS Over the past three months, the Trump Administration has threatened cut s on several essential federal programs that Orange County residents depend on. From Social Security to the VA to Medicare and Medicaid, our seniors, veterans, and neighbors are all at risk. That’s w hy I’ve hosted several “Community Conversations” around our cities on these topics—I want t o hear from you and keep you up to date with the latest from Washington. That’s also why you can find me around our district at “Know Your Rights” events, where I encourage our immigrant community to continue following the law while protecting themselves and their families. Will you be affected by these program cuts or by another federal policy change? Our best weapon to defend our community is the truth, and it’s my job to take your stories to Washington and fight the good fight on behalf of all of us. You can share your story with me at one of my events, or through my website HERE. Rep. Correa hosts a Community Conversation on healthcare issues KE E PING O UR COMMUNIT Y SAFE The safety of our communities is no place for partisan politics, and we should all w ork together to make sure our frontline officers have the tools and resources they need to do t heir jobs. As the top Democrat on the Border Security and Enforcement Subcommittee, I emphasized the need to address staffing shortages at our ports-of-entry and find new ways to fight the smuggling of fentanyl into our neighborhoods. Slashing Homeland Security Department resources and focusing on deporting our long-term immigrant community is wrong—and mixed-status families, veterans, and even sick children are getting caught in the crosshairs of these reckless policies. Here in Congress, I w on’t stop fighting for common-sense solutions that protect everyone in our communities. Rep. Correa speaks in a Homeland Security Committee hearing CALLING ALL HIGH SCHO O L ART IST S Art is more than a creative outlet—it’s a way to tell your story, share your perspective, and celebrate the community we call home. I’m excited to invite all high school students across our district to participate in this year’s Congressional Art Competition! One talented student will have the opportunity to represent our district in Washington, D.C., as their artwork is displayed in the U.S. Capitol. The winner will also be invited to a special ceremony alongside other young artists from across the country. The deadline for submissions is Thursday, April 17th, at my Santa Ana District Office. If you or someone you know is interested in participating, more information is available HERE. As always, I am committed to serving you, advocating for issues that mat ter to our community, and connecting you to important resources.

Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Hello, Too many of our men and women in uniform return home with invisible wounds after their military service—and we owe it to them to provide the support they've earned. That ’s w hy, as co-chairs of the Psychedelics Advancing Therapies (PATH) Caucus, Rep. Jack Bergman (R-MI) and I introduced the bipartisan Innovative Therapies Centers of Excellence Act, which would increase federally funded research on innovative therapies to treat veterans’ invisible wounds, like PTSD. Our veterans deserve real solutions, not more of the same—and I’m proud to be leading this effort t o get them the care they need. As I continue to bring your voice to our nation’s capital, I’d like to t ake a moment to show you what I’ve been working on. HO STING O C ST UDE NTS IN DC This week, I had the privilege of welcoming the Orange High School Marine Corps JROTC cadets back to Washington, D.C., for a tour of the U.S. Capitol. Led by Master Sergeant Carlos Mata (USMC, Ret.), these cadets came ready to learn how the policies we make in Washingt on impact lives on Main Street back home. These students were even able to meet several other Members of Congress representing Arizona, Pennsylvania, and more. They might be young, but these bright cadet s are the future of our community and country. Rep. Correa an d OHS MCJ ROTC cadets outside the U.S. Capitol I also had the privilege to host the Santa Ana High School Girls’ Wrestling Team in my D.C. office. This year, these hard-working athletes dominated the CIF Southern Section Division 2 Dual Meet championship—securing their first historic victory for their team, their high school, and our community. Their achievement shows their dedication and drive, and we are proud of them and their fantastic coaching staff! Rep. Correa and the Santa Ana High girls wrestling team and coaches ADVO CATING FOR COMMUNIT Y SAFE T Y As the top Democrat on the Border Security and Enforcement Subcommitt ee, I joined my colleagues for a critical hearing on the uses of drone technology to keep our communit y safe. I w as able to ask DHS officials how we can use this technology to help first responders in wildfires and hurricanes, stop cartels from smuggling fentanyl across our border, and other important potential uses. However, w e also need solutions to the problems that unchecked drone use can cause. It w as especially great to see Orange County’s own Chief Fetterman of the Orange County Fire Aut hority testifying before the committee on the use of drones in our own community. Here in Congress, I’ll keep fighting for common-sense policies that support first responders, invest in smart technology, and protect our neighborhoods. Rep. Correa speaks during a hearing UPDAT ING Y OUR SOCIAL SECURIT Y INFO RM AT ION Starting on Saturday, March 29th, the Social Security Administration (SSA) began to require all users with mySSA accounts to switch to a new login system. If you’re using a legacy account, you’ll need to create a Login.gov account or link your current ID.me credentials to continue accessing your Social Security benefits. But don’t worry—the process has been simplified to make the transition as smooth as possible. I encourage you to make this change before as soon as possible t o avoid any interruptions in accessing your important services. For more details, click HERE or call my Santa Ana office.
