In Congress, Gil co-sponsored the Equality Act and will continue to fight for comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation that ensures the protection of LGBTQ+ individuals in various facets of life, including employment, housing, education, and public accommodations.

“Tenants, landlords, and public housing authorities all rely on HUD’s implementation notice to ensure a smooth continuation of housing assistance payments,” said Rep.

“Our nation made a promise to Filipino servicemembers who joined our U.S. Military during WWII and we need to keep it. They fought and died during some of the most historic battles in our nation's history. These individuals were promised American citizenship,” said Rep. Cisneros. “These brave Filipino servicemembers made the ultimate sacrifice defending our nation’s values and freedom, and it is time we make things right by granting them symbolic posthumous U.S. citizenship. This legislation will right a wrong and bring an overdue honor to Filipino families across America.”

This bill supports small businesses across the country by giving them an opportunity to voice not only regulatory concerns, but all government actions that affect them, including tariffs and on healthcare.
This bill would allow small businesses to contact the SBA Office of Advocacy regarding all government actions affecting them from rules, policy memoranda, and guidance, which would allow for reporting on small business concerns related to executive orders, or proclamations related to tariffs, health care, or immigration enforcement. The bill adds a specific requirement to solicit more precise information related to the government actions and rules subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act and provide regulatory alternatives that will achieve the goal of the agency while minimizing the burden on small entities. Lastly, it increases reporting by requiring information on all government actions, including the benefits of each rule, recommendations for actions to minimize the burden, a summary of actions taken by Advocacy, and delineating the type of entity that is making submissions.

Today, Leader Jeffries introduced legislation to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, allowing millions of Americans to get relief from the crushing costs of healthcare, which I wholeheartedly support. House Democrats will continue to raise our voices, amplify your stories, and use every legislative tool at our disposal to combat this Republican healthcare crisis.”

The bill focuses on improvements to Phase III of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. More specifically, it establishes training programs for the federal agency workforce to make more Phase III awards, streamlines the process by directing standardized rules and contracts, and leverages previous investments by removing ambiguity for follow-on awards.

“Education presented me with an incredible opportunity, and my wife and I have worked hard to give kids that same opportunity through our foundation. Every child should receive the world class education they deserve, which is why President Trump’s executive order to dismantle the Department of Education (ED) is especially cruel and short-sighted. Over four million students in California rely on ED for Title I funds, which help ensure children, regardless of their family income, can access an equitable and quality education. In California’s 31st District, our students have benefited from nearly $37 million in Title I funds and over $57 million in IDEA Grants, which support the needs of students with disabilities. Nationwide, ED has supported over 1.5 million preschool students, and it’s a fact that early childhood education programs help children succeed later in life. In addition, nearly one million undergraduates in California rely on ED for Pell Grants afford higher education.

“The President cannot circumvent the Constitution and wage war without the approval of Congress. Iran is a bad actor and oppressive state that has suppressed its people and supported terrorism around the world. However, our military forces do not belong to the President to use on a whim, or because he doesn’t agree with the pace of negotiations. This is not about defending the nation. This is the President being reckless. Donald Trump’s actions have put military forces at risk and made us less safe.”

“The President has lost his mind. There was no approval from Congress, let alone any notification. Maduro is an illegitimate leader, but what was the justification for kidnapping him and his wife? This shortsighted and reckless attack continues to feed the President’s goal of regime change and controlling Venezuelan oil, no matter the cost. This administration has continued to lie, bypass Congress and the American people, and act unilaterally without authorization. The Administration must immediately brief Congress on the legal justification for the kidnapping as well as a plan to maintain regional stability.”

“Our servicemembers are our nation’s most valuable asset, yet House Republicans are willing to put this historically bipartisan bill at risk to play right-wing politics,” said Rep. Gil Cisneros. “The NDAA has been a shining example of bipartisan collaboration for over 60 years. However, House Republicans chose to focus on divisive distractions today by allowing the Trump Administration to continue its use of the military as his pawns against American citizens instead of supporting the critical needs of our troops and addressing our pacing threat. Republicans have failed to meet the needs of our military and are weakening our national security with these partisan games. I could not support this bill with good conscience, knowing that it fails to serve the needs of our military and national security.”

“Our country’s Dreamers are hard-working members of our communities that want to make an impact in the only home they have ever known,” said Rep. Gil Cisneros. “Right now, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) renewal applications are facing significant processing delays due to administrative inefficiencies at USCIS. This failure of leadership is forcing Dreamers out of the workforce and placing them at risk of deportation. It is cruel and unjust, and it needs to end now. My colleagues and I have previously introduced legislation to support Dreamers, but they’ve all been blocked by Republicans. It is past time for Republican leadership to do what’s right and protect Dreamers by ensuring timely renewals and working toward permanent status, for the stability of our workforce, and for the security of families nationwide.”

I voted yes on the final passage of the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act in recognition of the bipartisan measures in the bill that will support our servicemembers and protect our national security,” said Rep. Gil Cisneros. “Though I am deeply disappointed in the Speaker’s choice to forgo the longstanding democratic process during final negotiations, I believe that this bill will ultimately secure the wins that we prioritize most for our troops, and deliver the most crucial resources for our military. Once enacted, the bill will increase quality of life measures for our troops, starting with a 3.8% pay raise and expanded access to childcare, bolster congressional oversight into the Trump administration’s dangerous military actions, support southern California manufacturers, and reaffirm the prohibition on privatizing the commissary system. I will continue to stand up for all of our servicemembers and always put their needs first.”

Currently, DACA recipients are barred from joining the U.S. military. The Fight for the American Dream Act would reverse that restriction. Under this Act, Dreamers who are honorably discharged after their service would be given a pathway to grant them U.S. citizenship.

“Immigrants are twice as likely to start a business than native born citizens. Their contributions are essential to growing our economy. The Trump administration continues to deny immigrant entrepreneurs their basic Constitutional rights and sow fear and confusion in our communities by using ICE to attack and intimidate the Immigrant workforce that is crucial to so many small businesses. This bill will ensure they are all aware of their full legal protections. The SBA should be the first place small business owners can turn to for guidance,” said Congressman Gil Cisneros
