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, has recently shared his views on several pressing issues via social media. Born in Riverside, California, Takano graduated from Harvard University in 1983 and has been actively serving his constituents for over a decade.
On March 6, 2025, Takano expressed concern about potential job losses affecting those who serve veterans. He stated that "83,000 people who serve our veterans are slated to be fired. Their salaries won't be used for veteran care, it'll be used for tax breaks to billionaires. Disgraceful."
Later the same day, he criticized former President Donald Trump's stance on a bipartisan law related to American chip manufacturing. Takano commented that "Trump wants to kill the bipartisan law that helped jump-start American chip manufacturing jobs and investments only because this win happened under Biden. Give me a break. Let’s focus on helping the American people—not hurting them."
On March 7, 2025, Takano highlighted the success of the Social Security Fairness Act by stating that it "has already paid out more than 1 million retroactive payments! Public servants like firefighters and teachers are now being fairly paid by Social Security."
