Rep. Pete Aguilar, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 33rd District since 2015, recently shared his concerns on social media regarding the potential impacts of proposed budget cuts to Medicaid by Republicans. Born in Fontana, California, Aguilar has been actively engaging with local communities and stakeholders to address these issues.

On February 20, 2025, Rep. Aguilar expressed his apprehension after speaking with local healthcare providers about the Republican Budget's impact on Medicaid. He noted that "more than one million of our neighbors could lose their health care" and warned that hospitals could face devastation as a result of these cuts intended to fund tax reductions for billionaires.

Later that day, Aguilar addressed KCAL News via Twitter to reiterate his stance against the budget cuts. He emphasized that "millions of Californians could lose their health care because of the Republican budget that slashes Medicaid," and pledged continued resistance against these proposals.

In another engagement dated February 20, 2025, Aguilar reflected on a recent visit where he delivered Valentine's Day cards from students at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School to veterans at American Legion Post 155 in Colton, California. He described it as an honor and mentioned hearing veteran concerns about "a potential government shutdown."
