Rep. Pete Aguilar, a U.S. Congressman representing California’s 33rd district since 2015, posted a series of tweets on April 9, 2026, addressing key national issues including tariffs, military conflict with Iran, and election integrity.
In his first tweet at 14:30 UTC, Aguilar criticized the Trump administration’s tariff policies: “It’s been more than a year since Trump’s illegal tariffs sent prices soaring and markets spiraling—and American consumers are paying the price. The President needs to roll back his tariffs and focus on policies that actually bring down costs.”
Later that day at 17:17 UTC, Aguilar commented on recent legislative actions in Congress regarding U.S. involvement in Iran: “House Republicans just blocked House Democrats’ War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s costly war with Iran. Costs are soaring and U.S. servicemembers are dying, yet Republicans refuse to act. It’s clear where @HouseGOP’s priorities lie, and it’s not with the American people.”
At 19:38 UTC, Aguilar reported participating in a hearing in Los Angeles focused on election security: “I joined fellow @HouseDemocrats in LA for a hearing on Republican attempts to undermine our nation’s elections and suppress the vote. Democrats will keep raising alarm bells about GOP efforts to rig elections in their favor and fighting to safeguard Americans’ right to vote.”
Aguilar has served as the representative for California’s 33rd District since succeeding Gary Miller in 2015. Born in Fontana, California in 1979 and currently residing in Redlands, he graduated from the University of Redlands with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2001.
