Golden State Today

Congressman Brad Sherman, representing California's 32nd district since 1997, recently addressed several pressing issues through his social media platform. Sherman's tweets covered topics ranging from community recovery efforts following a devastating fire to legislative achievements and concerns about changes in consumer protection agencies.

On February 8, 2025, Congressman Sherman reflected on the aftermath of the Palisades Fire that occurred a month prior. He emphasized the importance of unity in aiding recovery efforts for those affected by the disaster. "One month ago today, our community experienced unimaginable devastation as the #PalisadesFire began to ignite homes, schools, businesses and community institutions. We must stay united in our mission to help people recover from all they have lost."

On February 11, 2025, Sherman expressed his opposition to recent developments concerning the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). He highlighted his role in its formation back in 2012 and joined colleagues in protesting against Elon Musk's takeover of this agency. "In 2012, I was proud to be among the leaders behind the formation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau– but today, I joined @RepMaxineWaters and my @USHouseFSC colleagues to protest against the #Musk takeover of this vital consumer protection agency."

Later that day on February 11, Sherman announced a legislative success with the passing of the Housing Unhoused Disabled Veterans Act (HUDVA) by the House. This act aims to eliminate barriers for disabled homeless veterans seeking housing assistance. He urged further action from the Senate regarding this legislation. "I am honored that the House passed the Housing Unhoused Disabled #Veterans Act (HUDVA) -- crucial legislation introduced by @RepMonicaDLC and I to remove an unfair barrier preventing disabled homeless veterans from accessing veteran housing."
