Rep. Doris Matsui, a U.S. Congresswoman representing California’s 7th district since 2005, announced several policy positions and funding developments in a series of posts on her social media account this week.
On May 6, Matsui wrote: “I’m proud to announce $3,150,000 in federal funding to help launch the Sacramento Stitch Riverfront Reconnection Project. Where I-5 runs through Sacramento once stood thriving communities—Japantown, the West End, families, small businesses, culture, and connection. That history”. The project aims to address historic community displacement caused by freeway construction through central Sacramento.
The following day, on May 7, Matsui posted about industry concerns related to a major proposed media merger: “I joined my colleagues in calling on @AGRobBonta to closely scrutinize the proposed Warner Bros.–Paramount merger. California’s film industry is already in crisis. Workers and families across the industry are hurting, and this massive media merger threatens even deeper damage.” She urged California Attorney General Rob Bonta to investigate potential impacts of consolidation on workers and families in the state’s film sector.
On May 8, Matsui commented on regulatory actions affecting free speech: “ABC is right: the FCC is blatantly attacking the First Amendment. Chairman Carr has made his mission clear—silence dissent through threats and intimidation. None of his claims are grounded in constitutional principle or basic logic. This is not about protecting the public. It’s”.
Doris Matsui succeeded Bob Matsui as representative for California’s 7th District in 2005 and has held office since then. Born in Poston, Arizona in 1944 and currently residing in Sacramento, she graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a BA degree in 1966.
