Rep. Doris Matsui, a U.S. Congresswoman representing California’s 7th district since 2005, addressed several key issues in recent posts on her social media account, including reproductive rights, environmental legislation, and federal funding priorities.
On May 4, 2026, Matsui commented on the Supreme Court’s decision regarding mifepristone access: “The Supreme Court restored access to mifepristone—but this small bit of relief isn’t enough. Reproductive rights are still under attack. Everyone deserves safe, accessible care. The right to make decisions about your own body is nonnegotiable, and I’ll never stop fighting for”.
Later that day, she highlighted legislative progress related to urban forestry: “I’m proud that my TREES Act, with Reps. Cleaver and Fitzpatrick passed out of the House. Sacramento is the City of Trees, and through the proactive efforts of local organizations and partners like SMUD and the Sacramento Tree Foundation, we have worked hard to continue building”.
On May 5, 2026, Matsui criticized Republican proposals for increased funding for immigration enforcement agencies and other expenditures: “Americans are struggling to make ends meet as prices skyrocket due to Trump’s illegal war. Now, Senate Republicans are demanding an additional $70 billion for ICE and CBP’s campaign of cruelty, as well as $1 billion to fund Donald Trump’s ballroom. I am a HELL NO on ICE and CBP”.
Doris Matsui was born in Poston, Arizona in 1944 and currently resides in Sacramento at age 78. She earned her BA from the University of California, Berkeley in 1966. Matsui succeeded Bob Matsui in Congress in 2005 and has maintained her seat since then.
