Rep. Jay Obernolte, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 23rd district, has been active on social media discussing various topics ranging from community tragedies to legislative efforts aimed at supporting veterans.

On March 18, 2025, Rep. Obernolte expressed his condolences regarding a tragic incident involving law enforcement personnel: "Heather and I are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of a San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy today in the line of duty. Our prayers are with the deputy’s family, loved ones, and the entire SBCSD community after this heartbreaking loss."

The following day, March 19, 2025, he highlighted a legislative initiative targeting veteran support in aviation careers: "Our veterans can help solve our nation's pilot shortage. I’ve introduced the SAFE Veterans Act to increase access to vocational flight training for our vets and servicemembers and help put more veterans in the cockpit."

Later that same day, he shared his commitment to supporting medically retired combat veterans through legislation: "I’m proud to cosponsor the Major Richard Star Act to ensure our medically retired combat veterans receive the full benefits they’ve earned. These heroes shouldn’t face unfair offsets to their compensation. It’s time to pass this bill and honor their sacrifice!"
