On August 6, 2025, Torres announced her participation in a local affordable housing project, stating, “It was an honor to join National CORE and local stakeholders to celebrate the groundbreaking of 75 new affordable housing units in #CA35. I’m proud to have provided $1.4M in federal funding for this project through the appropriations process to make this project a reality.”
Later that day, she shared details about National Night Out activities: “Last night, #TeamTorres joined our communities for #NationalNightOut! Proud to stand with neighbors, law enforcement, and local leaders to help build safer, stronger neighborhoods across #CA35. Community is our first line of safety. “
