Dear Mr. Carpenter: I am deeply troubled and saddened by the despicable terrorist attacks against the Israeli people. I condemn Hamas and these heinous attacks in the strongest way. My heart goes out to the families of the fallen – may their memories be a blessing.

Yesterday, I joined Temple Isaiah of Lafayette to stand in solidarity with the Jewish community in CA-10, in Israel, and around the nation. Sincerely, Mark DeSaulnier Member of CongressIN THE HOUSE Last week, extreme House Republicans removed the Speaker of the House for the first time in history. Congressman DeSaulnier could not in good conscience support Kevin McCarthy as his Speakership was marked by legislative chaos and acquiescence to the most extreme factions of his party. The American people deserve a leader who puts their interests over political games. It is Mark’s hope that House Republicans choose a Speaker who will lead Congress in a functional way that puts the needs of the American people first. He urges his colleagues to swiftly come to a consensus so we can get back to governing, including providing funding to our allies in Ukraine and in Israel. IN THE NEWS Congressman DeSaulnier Discusses Republican Dysfunction with CBS Bay Area After the unprecedented removal of the House Speaker by the far-right, Congressman DeSaulnier joined CBS Bay Area to discuss how Democrats remain united in serving the American people and his hope that the majority party will quickly elect a new speaker so Congress can focus their attention on governing.
