Rep. Jay Obernolte, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 23rd district, has recently expressed his views on several legislative issues through a series of tweets. These posts highlight his support for law enforcement, community safety, and wildfire management.

On February 2, 2025, Rep. Obernolte tweeted about his support for the Thin Blue Line Act. He stated: "Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to protect us. That’s why I proudly support the Thin Blue Line Act, which ensures that targeting or killing law enforcement officers carries the strongest penalties. We must stand with those who stand for us."

The following day, February 3, 2025, he addressed community concerns regarding public safety policies in another tweet: "Communities deserve a voice in decisions that impact their safety. Misguided policies have left residents powerless in the face of forced relocations of sexually violent predators. I’m proud to cosponsor @repdarrellissa Stop Sexually Violent Predators Act to put communities first…"

On February 4, 2025, Rep. Obernolte discussed efforts to improve firefighting capabilities through legislation: "The Direct Hire to Fight Fires Act will make it easier to recruit and retain federal wildland firefighters, empowering us to combat devastating wildfires more effectively. In California, where fires threaten lives and landscapes, this is a crucial step to protect our communities."
