She stated: “Today, on National Day of Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Peoples, I stand with Native communities to demand justice and an end to this silent crisis. Indigenous women and girls experience the highest rates of violence in the United States.”
The following day, May 6, 2025, she acknowledged the dedication of educators globally. In her tweet, she remarked: “Today, we celebrate the incredible educators across Ventura County, the Conejo Valley, and around the world who have dedicated themselves to inspiring, guiding, educating, and empowering the dreamers and doers of tomorrow.”
Later that day on May 6th as well, Brownley criticized a proposed Republican budget plan that would significantly reduce funding for Medicaid and food assistance programs. She commented: “The proposed Republican budget slashes more than $1 trillion from Medicaid and food assistance – essential programs that millions of Americans rely on every day. Families in #VenturaCounty and across the country simply cannot afford these cuts.”
