Congresswoman Julia Brownley was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2012 to serve California’s 26th District, which includes most of Ventura County and a portion of Los Angeles County. The district encompasses the cities of Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Santa Paula, Fillmore, Camarillo, Moorpark, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Calabasas, and Agoura Hills.
Since her arrival in Congress, Brownley has been a passionate advocate for veterans, service members, and military families. When she first came to Congress, Brownley’s top committee choice was the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs . She wanted to ensure that veterans received the services and care they deserve, and since then, she has been a tireless advocate, working closely with local veterans’ communities and Naval Base Ventura County. In the 119th Congress, Brownley serves as Ranking Member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee on Health, where she focuses on expanding access to quality health care for veterans – especially women veterans – and easing the transition from military service to VA care.
