U.S. Rep. Mark Takano 39th District of California | Official U.S. House Headshot
Mark Takano, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 39th district since 2013, recently shared his views on several social issues through a series of tweets. These messages, posted in early December 2024, reflect his commitment to addressing gun violence and advocating for the rights of transgender individuals.
On December 3, 2024, Mark Takano expressed his condolences to the San Bernardino community following a tragic incident of gun violence. He stated, "Yesterday, the San Bernardino community gathered to remember the 14 lives lost to a senseless act of gun violence. Sadly these events occur too often, so I will continue to push commonsense gun reform to curb this violence and save lives."
The following day, on December 4, Takano stood in solidarity with transgender Americans by speaking at the Supreme Court. He emphasized their right to bodily autonomy by stating, "Today, I spoke on the steps of the Supreme Court to stand with trans Americans in their fight for freedom. They deserve the freedom to make decision about their own bodies."
Later that day, he voiced his opinion on healthcare access for children and criticized political interference in medical decisions. He remarked that "Politicians should not be legislating and overriding the medical community. All kids deserve to get the healthcare they need."
