Congresswoman Haley Stevens visits Berkeley, speaks on jobs, semiconductors and constituent services
Summary
U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens (11th District) addressed the council during the mayor’s moment, described her committee assignment and federal priorities (including semiconductors, critical minerals and constituent services), and offered assistance for constituents with federal issues such as passports and Social Security.
Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11) visited the Berkeley City Council meeting and used the mayor’s moment to update the council and attendees on work in Washington and district services.
Stevens noted she had been reappointed to the U.S. House Science, Space and Technology Committee and said she had helped pass the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act. "We played a lead role in passing the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act into law," she said, describing federal investments intended to bolster domestic semiconductor production and to leverage matching private investment.
She also discussed federal committee work on critical minerals, affordable manufacturing and the auto sector and said she would be a district resource for constituent services: passports, Social Security and tax credits. "If you're in a bind, we want to help people in a bind," Stevens told the council and audience, offering the district office’s assistance for time-sensitive federal issues.
Council thanked the congresswoman for her visit. Her remarks were delivered at the start of the meeting during the mayor’s presentation and were framed as an informational update rather than an item requiring council action.
Ending: The council welcomed Stevens and noted her district work; no formal action followed the mayor’s recognition and remarks.
