Rep. Jim Costa, U.S. Congressman representing California’s 21st district, used his social media platform to highlight regional infrastructure priorities and promote the Congressional Art Competition for high school students in his district.
On April 16, 2026, Costa posted about meeting with local officials to discuss infrastructure needs: “Ensuring that our Valley is properly equipped with strong transportation, housing, air quality, and infrastructure is essential to sustaining its continued success. It was great meeting with @TulareCOG to discuss key priorities, including advancing improvements to State Route https://t.co/Xqslmorqj3”.
