Before joining Congress, Liccardo served two terms as Mayor of San José, where he led unprecedented economic growth, championed transformative housing initiatives, and positioned the city as a national leader in climate resilience. Under his leadership, San José became the largest U.S. city to commit to carbon neutrality, delivering cleaner, more affordable energy while cutting emissions. He spearheaded the country's most ambitious gun violence prevention measure and expanded community-based policing, making San José the safest large city in America during his tenure. Liccardo also tackled the housing crisis head-on, securing funding to expand the housing supply and launching San José’s largest rent relief program, helping drive an 11% reduction in homelessness.

Our office’s scope is limited; however, while we can contact Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to check on an individual’s case and advocate for you, we cannot provide legal guidance or represent you in court.

In the least productive Congress in modern history, Sam has spent his first term proving that pragmatic, bipartisan progress is still possible. He came to Washington to work bring down the cost of living, defend democratic institutions, and deliver tangible results for the Peninsula, Silicon Valley, and the Coastside — and he wasted no time. He authored five bipartisan housing bills--all focused on accelerating the construction of affordable housing, and expanding housing supply-- and four have already passed both the House and Senate. He brokered an Affordable Care Act tax credit extension proposal that secured a dozen GOP and Democratic cosponsors to help break a stalemate over reducing health care premiums for 22 million Americans. He became an original cosponsor of long-awaited bipartisan legislation to provide a sensible framework for regulating crypto stablecoin that became law.

To tackle homelessness, Sam pioneered converting motels into housing, piloted innovative homelessness prevention strategies, and developed quick-build communities to bring thousands of people off the streets—helping San José become one of the few California cities to reduce street homelessness in 2022. He resolved longstanding pension reform battles, saved taxpayers $3 billion in retiree costs, improved the City's credit rating, and restored city services such as emergency medical response, libraries, police, and after-school programs from severe cuts during the Great Recession. He rebuilt the San Jose Police Department, adding more than 200 officers, expanding the corps of civilian service officers to respond to community concerns, and pioneered response to unhoused persons with mental health professionals.

Through two ballot measures and changes in the General Plan, Sam dramatically expanded protections for open space and hillsides, including the preservation of the environmentally sensitive Coyote Valley--and launched what was then the largest community choice energy utility of any U.S. city, San José Clean Energy, which today provides San Jose's 1 million residents with 95% GHG-free electricity.

Sam also led efforts to raise the minimum wage, push back against rising utility costs, rebuild critical infrastructure for firefighters and emergency response, and after two decades of neglect and deterioration, repave every San José street. Sam's longstanding work in transit and leadership on the Valley Transit Authority board and on several ballot measures enabled VTA to bring BART to San José, and expand light rail and bus rapid-transit systems in East San José.

WASHINGTON, DC— Today, Congressman Sam Liccardo (CA-16), and five of his House Financial Services Committee (FSC) colleagues, introduced the No Preferential Release of Federal Information for Transactions (NO PROFIT) Act, a bill that would bar social media companies from offering faster, subscription-based access to government employees’ accounts that communicate material information. Representatives Jim Himes (CT-04), Brad Sherman (CA-32), Bill Foster (IL-11), Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05), and Sean Casten (IL-06) co-lead the legislation. The bill is a House companion to Senator Mark Warner’s (D-VA) NO PROFIT Act.

The NO PROFIT Act is Congress’ first response to Truth Social’s launch of Truth API, a subscription-based data feed costing as much as $100,000 monthly per license that provides subscribers with advance access to posts from 10 of the platform’s most influential accounts, including President Trump’s. The legislation would make it illegal for a person to knowingly trade in securities, commodities, swaps, or prediction market contracts if the person is doing so on the basis of material information obtained through prioritized access to an account.

Reason: PRIMARY_CAMPAIGN_REVIEW_COMPLETE_FOR_LISTED_PAGES_WIDER_SOURCE_SEARCH_PENDING
Initial full-text review of twenty listed campaign and House pages. Generic headings, election instructions and fundraising/campaign-coalition messaging are archived as policy evidence. New cards distinguish current proposals, attributed prior work and dated office statements. The campaign accomplishments page retains inconsistent housing passage timing; the July 13 House release also has conflicting enactment timing. Independent bill-record confirmation remains pending after a non-retryable Congress.gov robots block. Campaign and House biographies disagree on San José versus Saratoga residence; neither precise residence is asserted. Older archive pages, candidate-authored opinion pieces, original linked letters and bill documents, the innovation agenda, questionnaires, videos, socials, municipal records and historical 2024 platform remain pending. No exhaustive coverage or independent truth determination is claimed.
Every profile claim points back to retained source evidence.
