Rep. Jay Obernolte, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California’s 23rd district since 2021, has recently posted on social media about key issues facing his constituents, including border security, veterans’ affairs, and recognition of Labor Day.
On August 30, 2025, Obernolte addressed concerns about drug trafficking at the southern border.
