Dear Friend,
In recent weeks, we’ve been working to preserve the rich history of San Diego veterans, to foster artistic achievement among our high-school students, and fighting to increase America’s investments in our national defense and in scientific research. More information about each is below. As always, feel free to contact me HEREor by calling 202-225-0508 or 858-455-5550.
Congressional Art Competition Continues to Grow
Each year, high-school students across the country participate in the Congressional Art Competition, and winners have their artistic creation placed on display in the U.S. Capitol. For the third year in a row, my office sponsored the 52nd District Congressional Art Competition, and each year it has gotten bigger and better! This year we had 42 entries from 5 local high schools. After a review by some of San Diego’s most highly regarded artists and curators, Carolyn Chu of Torrey Pines High School was chosen as the winner. Rachel Liu of Canyon Crest Academy was chosen as the Fan Favorite in a competition on our Facebook page and her piece will hang in my University City office.

Helping Preserve Veterans’ Stories for Future Generations
Last week, I stood alongside men and women who had served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, and Iraq to announce our office’s plan to help local veterans have the personal stories of their service archived for perpetuity in the Library of Congress. Veterans of any branch and any service – war or peacetime – are encouraged to contact our San Diego office to participate in the Veterans History Project. Learn more and sign upHERE.

Fighting for Our National Defense and Science
Recently, in the House of Representatives we continued to advocate for San Diego’s priorities around increased funding for basic scientific research. We also fought for energy supply diversity in the military so that our defense is smart, strong, and has the tools necessary to forcefully respond to threats from ISIS, Al Qaeda, and others.
