WASHINGTON, DC – Representative Adam Gray (CA-13) introduced the Midwives for MOMS Act today alongside Representative Ashley Hinson (IA-02). The bipartisan bill addresses the shortage of maternity care in rural communities by expanding educational opportunities for midwives and improving access to midwifery services.
Rep. Adam Gray was one of only six House Democrats — and the only one from California — who voted with Republicans in favor of a deal to end the government shutdown, and there was a calculated reason behind that decision.
WASHINGTON, DC – Last week, Representative Adam Gray (CA-13) led a bipartisan group of lawmakers in sending a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer requesting collaboration to develop and advance a comprehensive health care plan.
“If we work together, our hope is that the bill will not only achieve a sixty-vote majority in the Senate but will also then move to the House for immediate consideration and passage," the Members write.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Wednesday night to end the longest shutdown in U.S. history. The bill restores federal worker salaries and food aid benefits that had slowed earlier this month. But it doesn’t include healthcare subsidies that Democrats had largely been pushing for. But Merced Democratic Rep. Adam Gray tells KVPR that this doesn’t mean Democrats will stop pushing for those subsidies.
The recent government shutdown made one thing very clear: President Trump and his allies are far too comfortable using vulnerable Americans as political leverage. One of the first things they did during the shutdown was refuse to authorize emergency funds to cover food stamps, delaying Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits nationwide.
WASHINGTON, DC – After his vote to reopen the federal government, Rep. Adam Gray (CA-13) published an opinion editorial in the Turlock Journal. In the op-ed, Rep. Gray writes:
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN: HOW IT MAY IMPACT YOU
Funding for the federal government expired on September 30, 2025.
I’ve always been a strong advocate for bipartisanship, and I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to work together to find a commonsense compromise to keep the government open. I am committed to doing everything I can to make that happen.
FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – With just hours to fund the federal government, valley congressmen David Valadao and Adam Gray spoke out Monday.
The two are divided, like their parties, on what needs to be done before the government shuts down this Wednesday.
“These are items that aren’t going to happen, they’re not legitimate requests,” said Congressman Valadao
WASHINGTON, DC – Representatives Adam Gray (CA-13) and Gabe Evans (CO-08) last week introduced legislation to counter the fentanyl crisis. The bipartisan Combatting Fentanyl Poisonings Act would expand grant funding for fentanyl awareness campaigns aimed at children and support training programs and equipment purchases for law enforcement agencies tracking and apprehending fentanyl traffickers.
About 4 million Californians are about to lose their Medicaid coverage, another 1.7 million Covered California enrollees will see a premium increase of 66% because of expiring tax credits. On top of that, 70 hospitals are on the verge of declaring bankruptcy because of the One,Big, Beautiful Bill.
And what are Republicans in Congress doing to keep us from going over a healthcare cliff? Nothing.
House Speaker Mike Johnson sent representatives home until Oct. 6.
