Congressman for #CA45. Army Veteran and Workers’ Rights Advocate. Husband, Dad, and Proud Son of Refugees.

While most Americans oppose ground troops, Trump’s out-of-control war in Iran has killed three Americans. Republicans don’t care, so they’re pushing a $73 billion blank check to continue Trump’s reckless war. With rising costs and more casualties, and I’ve always voted to end the war.

I’m proud to have built a grassroots campaign since day one. With MoveOn’s support, I’m fighting for working families across Southern California because I believe in a more equal and just society for all.

We’re sick and tired of the inhumane ICE practices. The Trump Administration must be held accountable. I’m introducing a law that would allow families to seek at least $5 million in damages when a loved one dies wrongfully in ICE custody.

The American people deserve answers after two more people were killed by ICE agents. The Trump Administration must be held responsible for their cruel and haphazard immigration enforcement agenda.

11 years ago, the Veterans Entrepreneurship Act of 2015 created more pathways for Veterans to start small businesses. As a Veteran, my family’s small business has allowed us to uplift ourselves. All Veterans deserve the same chance that my family had.

The reign of terror at ICE ends today. With my new bill, we will hold privately-owned detention centers accountable when a wrongful death occurs under their care. These families deserve justice.

Donald Trump’s corrupt leadership has no place here in Southern California. I’m grateful for the grassroots coalition we have less than 100 days until Election Day. We’re sending a strong message to out-of-touch Republicans that our community’s voice is never for sale.

America has done so much for me. Programs like food stamps helped us uplift ourselves. Every family deserves the same chance mine had. That's what I fought for in the Army and what I’m fighting for in Congress.

I'm monitoring the evolving situation at UCI Health in Los Alamitos. I'm in contact with local officials, and residents are advised to avoid the area. Grateful for the swift action from first responders. abc7.com/post/uci-hea...

SoCal families are paying over $5/gallon for gas because of Trump’s costly, out-of-control war in Iran. Congressional Republicans don’t care, so they’re pushing a $73 billion blank check to continue the war. This is a slap in the face to hardworking Americans who didn’t inherit their daddy’s money.

Child care is one of the most expensive items in family budgets. I’m proud to receive the Moms’ Seal of Approval on Child Care. As a father of three young children, I'm championing policies that increase access to comprehensive, affordable, high-quality early care opportunities.

Rep. Dave Min is defending our frontline race to keep #CA-45 blue. Amid Trump’s disgraceful un-American agenda, Team Tran is knocking on doors and getting out the vote to make sure we flip the House in November.

This is a direct result of Donald Trump’s war of choice in Iran that has put our men and women in uniform in real danger. As a Veteran, my thoughts and prayers are with the families of these brave servicemembers. This war must come to an end.

Breaking News: Two U.S. service members were killed and a third was missing after an Iranian attack on a base in Jordan, according to the Pentagon. Follow live updates.

My family spent a year at an Indonesian refugee camp, waiting to get into the U.S. They believed in the promise of this country. But Trump’s attack on voting rights is an attack on that promise. I joined the military to defend our rights, and I am doing the same from the halls of Congress.

Come out to canvass for #CA45 alongside special guests Rep. Min and Mayor Traut. As we prepare for the critical 2026 midterm elections, we’re partnering with Democracy Summer and taking our organizing to the next level. 📆 Saturday, July 18 📍 Acacia Park 🔗 Register at: tinyurl.com/fullertonca-45

GKN Aerospace forced thousands of Californians out of their homes and shuttered small businesses closed. And I’m holding them accountable. That’s why I’m introducing legislation that requires defense contractors to notify nearby residents of hazardous chemicals.

Donald Trump is running our country into the ground like one of his failed business ideas. I’m demanding immediate answers from the thugs at ICE after they killed two bystanders in Maine and Houston. Our nation cannot go on like this.

Great to join Lakewood residents and local leaders like Mayor Cassandra Chase for lunch. As I shared my story with Lakewood community leaders, we talked about the need to lower costs for working families. I hear this everywhere I go. When we flip the House this Nov, this has to be top priority.
