Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, who represents California’s 37th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of updates on March 29, 2026, covering legislative developments and local events.
On March 29, 2026, Kamlager-Dove addressed recent congressional action regarding the Department of Homeland Security funding. She stated: “Democrats WON when Senate Republicans joined us to vote to fund the Department of Homeland Security without funding ICE or border patrol. But instead of letting the House vote on this bill, loser Mike Johnson decided to continue the shutdown because he refuses to rein in ICE.”
Later that day, she highlighted an upcoming change for her district involving a major entertainment event: “And the Oscars go to… California’s 37th District (literally)! SO excited to have the Oscars in my district starting in 2029. This is a big win for DTLA—we are ready for the red carpet! “ The move is set to bring significant attention and activity to downtown Los Angeles.
In another post on March 29, Kamlager-Dove commemorated Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day by honoring Jerry T. Hodges, Jr., an Angeleno and member of the historic group. She wrote: “On Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day, I was proud to honor American hero and Angeleno Jerry T. Hodges, Jr. At a time when the Trump is trying to erase Black history—American history—I was proud to introduce a bill to commemorate Jerry by renaming a DTLA post office in his honor.”
Sydney Kamlager-Dove has served as U.S. Representative for California’s 37th District since replacing Karen Bass in 2023.
