Judy Chu, U.S. Congresswoman representing California’s 28th district since 2009, has voiced her opposition to recent Republican legislative efforts in a series of tweets published on April 29 and April 30, 2026.
On April 29, Chu criticized Republican budget priorities, stating: “Instead of introducing legislation that will lower the cost of living for the American people or rein in ICE, Republicans want another $140 BILLION to expand their vile anti-immigrant agenda. Not one penny more. I’m voting NO on the Republican Budget Resolution.”
Later that day, she addressed proposed changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), writing: “Instead of reversing their $187 billion cuts to SNAP, Republicans are doubling down with their Farm Bill. Over 3 million Americans have been kicked off of SNAP since the Big Ugly Bill was passed, including 257,937 Californians. And this number is only going to rise.”
On April 30, Chu continued her criticism of Republican agricultural policy: “The Republican Farm Bill does nothing to offset the financial harm caused by Trump’s illegal tariffs, reverse the $187 billion in SNAP cuts from their Big Ugly Bill, or provide any emergency relief for farmers on the brink of losing everything. That’s why I voted NO.”
Chu has represented California’s 28th district since succeeding Hilda Solis in 2009 and previously served in the California State Assembly from 2001 to 2006. Born in Los Angeles in 1953 and currently residing in Monterey Park, she holds a BA from UCLA.
