Josh grew up in the Valley and lives in Tracy with his wife Pam and their two young daughters, Lillian and Karina. He sees how expensive it’s getting to raise a family – from gas to housing to health care – and how our communities keep getting left behind. For too long politicians have put their own egos above actually getting things done for our families. Josh represents a new generation of leaders working to break the gridlock and fix the broken political system.

Health care is personal for Josh. His brother was born prematurely and the hospital left his family with a hundred page medical bill. He knows the health care system is broken, so he’s working to get costs down and bring more doctors to the Valley so everyone can get the care they need close to home.

Health care is personal for Josh. His brother was born prematurely and the hospital left his family with a hundred page medical bill. Josh knows the health care system is broken. It’s too hard to find care and too expensive to get the care you need. At the same time, Insurance executives are getting rich while our families have to choose between prescriptions and putting gas in the tank. Josh supports measures to get costs down including a $35 per month cap on insulin. He’s also working to bring more doctors to the Valley so people can get care more quickly and closer to home.

Josh has a jobs-first vision of turning our Valley into a thriving economic center. He knows that right now too many people are stuck in traffic driving to good-paying jobs hours from home. And too many young people are leaving the Valley because they don’t believe we have enough opportunities. That’s why he’s working to bring high paying jobs in fields like ag-tech, IT, and clean energy home to our community, and why he’s fighting for trade deals that put our products and workers at the center, as opposed to being ripped off by foreign competitors.

Josh is incredibly concerned with rising crime rates in our community. Like every parent, he wants to walk around with his daughter at night knowing they’re safe in their neighborhood. Josh is proud to stand with our law enforcement officers and give them the tools they need to keep us safe. This year he brought home millions in federal dollars to fund a special task force to fight methamphetamine and fentanyl trafficking in the Valley and hire new police officers, buy new police cars, and stand up state of the art public safety equipment. Because of that work, he has been endorsed by the largest law enforcement organization in the state.

Our community has had the same politicians yelling at each other about the same problems forever and nothing ever gets fixed. Corruption and inaction have become the norm. Josh is part of a new generation who believes we need to do things differently. Josh is the author of the Ban Corporate PACs Act because his vote can’t be bought and he believes no one should be able to auction their vote to the highest bidder. He is fighting to stop pay raises and special privileges for politicians. And he is a leader on reforming campaign finance so elected officials put families, not corporations, first.

Both of Josh’s grandfathers and one of his great uncles served in uniform. They defused bombs on the beaches of Normandy and fought in the South Pacific to defend our freedom. Josh understands the sacrifices our military men and women make and he knows our veterans don’t always get the benefits they’ve earned when they return home. One of Josh’s proudest moments was when his bill providing health care to 30,000 Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange was signed into law. Josh won’t stop fighting until every single one of our veterans have the benefits they’ve earned.

Josh knows our country draws its strength from our diversity. Here in the Valley over 10,000 Dreamers are stuck in the shadows. Josh is a proud co-sponsor of the DREAM Act and believes they must have a pathway to citizenship. He also believes we can’t just stop there – Josh is a vocal advocate for real, comprehensive immigration reform to give immigrants and their families the protections they need to participate fully in our community. Josh also knows strong border security and enhanced technology are vital for protecting our country from drug smugglers and human traffickers. He believes both border security and immigration reform are important pieces to our country’s success.

Water has been a critical issue for our community since Josh’s great great grandfather began farming in Manteca more than 150 years ago. Josh knows water is the lifeblood of the Valley. That’s why he’s fighting to stop the Delta Tunnel water grab that would ship our Valley’s water to Los Angeles, work alongside Republicans and Democrats to build new water storage projects, and protect the Delta. Farmers and ranchers across the Valley support Josh because he’s delivered on his word to protect and preserve our water.

Josh is a proud product of Valley public schools and is incredibly grateful for the great education he received. Like so many parents in our community, Josh is deeply concerned about what the pandemic has done to our kids. That’s why he spoke out early and often to get kids back in classrooms once it was safe and he’s working hard to direct more funding for our kids’ mental health. Josh is also a strong proponent of trade and skills education so every kid can graduate with a career ahead of them whether they plan on going to college or not.

Josh believes climate change is an existential threat to our way of life. Catastrophic wildfires. Historic droughts. Polluted air and water. That’s why Josh introduced the FARM Act, a landmark climate change bill that supports Valley farmers in the fight against climate change. The bill is one of the only bills in Congress backed by both the leading environmental and agricultural groups.

The Affordable Care Act (also known as “the ACA” or “Obamacare”) was an important first step to getting health care for more people, especially folks with pre-existing conditions. I will always fight to protect that access and continue to expand health insurance coverage. I’m also working to bring down costs and bring more doctors and nurses to the Valley.

As a former businessman, I know what it takes to grow a business from a couple of guys in a garage to a company with hundreds of employees. I’m using this experience to bring more good-paying jobs and more opportunity to the Central Valley. We have to attract top job opportunities to the Valley – and that starts by making sure our community has the in-demand skills to match what employers need. That's why I'm focused on building stronger apprenticeship and vocational programs to get folks the skills they need for good-paying jobs.

The Central Valley is the fruit and nut basket of the world – which is why I fought to serve on the House Agriculture Committee. One of my most important roles in Washington is serving as the voice of our local growers and producers on the committee. It’s vital that we have clear Farm Bill implementation and a trade policy that actually works for our farmers and families. My job is to make sure that federal agriculture policy works for our farmers – not just folks in other parts of the country.

I’m fighting for a comprehensive, humane, and bipartisan immigration system that allows people to get right with the law and come out of the shadows – especially the nearly 8,000 Dreamers who live in our communities. For so many of these folks, America is the only home they’ve ever known. They are Americans in every way but one: on paper. That’s why I’m a proud cosponsor of the Dream and Promise Act. We need to fix our broken immigration system.

It’s also vital that immigration reform include keeping our border secure and our communities safe. I support 21st century investments in border security. We need to be investing in advanced drone technology, the Unmanned Aircraft System, up-to-date screening technology to detect and stop contraband, better infrastructure at our ports of entry, and increasing the number of agents at the border. I am committed to working with anyone, on either side of the aisle, to get a comprehensive fix – one that secures our border and allows us to live up to our country’s ideals.

More and more lately, folks across our nation have started to segregate themselves by ideology, but you won’t see me on cable news fighting with folks – I’m focused on getting things done. We know better in the Central Valley. That’s why I’m proud to be one of the most bipartisan members in Congress.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a Republican or a Democrat – we all face challenges together as Americans, and the best way through them is to work together.

We need a comprehensive solution to confront its root causes to get our neighbors back on their feet. ThatâÂÂs why I am a proud supporter of the Fighting Homelessness Through Services and Housing Act. This bipartisan bill would provide $750 million in federal investments to local governments and nonprofits to provide wrap-around services such as emergency housing, mental health services, treatment for substance abuse, and job training for people who are homeless.

The Making Education Affordable and Accessible Act would invest in and expand funding for dual-enrollment and stackable credit programs for high school students. Dual enrollment programs, like those run by MJC, allow students to earn college credits while in high school. The bill is cosponsored by Republican Tom Reed of New York and is endorsed by the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) and the National Education Association (NEA). Stackable certification programs allow students to earn a certificate or associates degree at a community college and return later with their credits counting towards their terminal degree. California State University Stanislaus and MJC collaborate on existing programs including "Warriors on the Way," which promotes MJC's associate degrees for transfer (ADTs).
