Rep. Zoe Lofgren, who represents California’s 18th district in the U.S. Congress, recently highlighted local infrastructure and economic issues in a series of posts on her social media account.
On January 31, 2026, Lofgren wrote about attending a community event: “I was so proud to be in Salinas today for the grand opening of the new and improved Hebbron Family Center! Thanks to state funding as well as money from the American Rescue Plan I supported, this will now be a safe and inclusive space for all Salinas residents to gather. #CA18”
On February 2, 2026, she posted about regional transit improvements: “Great to visit @SantaCruzMETRO and ride one of their buses to the Watsonville Transit Center. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I voted for provided $1.1 million for their vehicle replacement project, and I’m looking forward to further opportunities to improve transit in #CA18.”
Later that day, Lofgren commented on national trade policy: “Donald Trump has repeatedly said that Americans won’t pay for his tariffs, but guess what? 96% of the tariff costs last year were absorbed by American consumers and businesses. Just another broken promise.”
Lofgren has served in Congress since 1995 after replacing Don Edwards and previously served on the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors from 1981 to 1994. She was born in San Mateo in 1947 and currently resides in San Jose. Lofgren holds a BA from Stanford University (1970) and a JD from Santa Clara University (1975).
