Mark DeSaulnier, U.S. Congressman representing California’s 10th district since 2015, announced on May 12 that all 15 local CA-10 projects he advanced as part of the 2026 appropriations cycle received federal funding totaling over $16 million. The announcement was made through a series of posts on his official Twitter account.
In another post dated May 14, DeSaulnier addressed public health concerns regarding e-cigarettes and recent changes in FDA leadership: “The scientific community resoundingly agrees that e-cigarettes are not safe, especially for young people. For sharing this view and refusing to bow down to the tobacco industry, the FDA Commissioner was forced out by President Trump who consistently puts corporate interests over”.
Later that day, DeSaulnier invited constituents to an upcoming town hall meeting in San Ramon: “I’m hosting another town hall – this time in San Ramon – at the end of the month! Join us on Thursday, May 28th from 6:30 -7:30 p.m. for the latest on my work to hold the Trump Administration accountable, federal dollars I am bringing back to CA-10, and more. As always, I will https://t.co/CTXlH54TDK”.
