Jimmy Gomez, a U.S. Congressman representing California’s 34th district since 2017, has been vocal on various issues through his social media platform. He replaced Xavier Becerra and previously served in the California State Assembly. Gomez, born in Orange County, now resides in Los Angeles and is an alumnus of the University of California, Los Angeles.
On January 29, 2025, Gomez commemorated the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act sixteen years ago. He emphasized its importance amid current political climate changes: "16 years ago today, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act passed to ensure workers can challenge pay discrimination, even if it’s discovered years later. As Trump attacks workers' rights and rolls back protections against unfair wages, laws like this are more important than ever."
In another tweet dated January 30, 2025, Gomez expressed his concern regarding an unspecified tragic incident: "Devastating. My heart is with everyone on board and their loved ones. We’ll keep monitoring the situation. Thankful to the first responders who rushed to the scene and are searching for survivors."
Later that day on January 30, 2025, he visited a Head Start center in his district to discuss issues related to a funding freeze: "Today, I visited a Head Start center in #CA34 to hear from families and educators about the chaos and impact of Trump’s illegal funding freeze, which threw child care programs into chaos. In LA, thousands of parents count on Head Start to go to work while their children learn."
