\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPresident Trump will address a joint session of Congress on Tuesday evening for the State of the Union address.Members of Congress, Supreme Court justices, members of the President\u2019s cabinet and honored guests will be in attendance.The State of the Union address will air on KCRA 3 at 6 p.m. Tuesday.Here\u2019s a look at who the U.S. representatives in Northern California will be bringing:Rep. Kevin Kiley (R) California\u2019s 3rd DistrictCongressman Kevin Kiley has invited Claudia Tanner, the wife of the late Bobby Tanner. Kiley said Bobby Tanner was “a central figure in the history of Mule Days and a beloved member of the Eastern Sierra community.””As the son of Bob Tanner, one of Mule Days\u2019 founders, Bobby was involved from the very first show in 1970, when at just 10 years old he led a pack string in the inaugural parade. Over the decades, he became one of the event\u2019s most recognizable and celebrated figures,\u201d Rep. Kiley said.Rep. Mike Thompson (D) California\u2019s 4th DistrictRep. Mike Thompson has been selected as the designated survivor for the State of the Union address. Congressman Thompson was selected by Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Thompson will watch the speech from a secure, undisclosed location. “Since the day he took office, this president has raised costs for hardworking families, unleashed ICE to terrorize our communities, and threatened unlawful military attacks on foreign countries. He\u2019s made Americans\u2019 lives and our democracy worse off,” Rep. Thompson said. “President Trump is unpopular because he\u2019s failed to lower costs, failed to fire Kristi Noem, and failed to follow the rule of law. Americans demand answers when he addresses the nation. We will keep holding him to account in the Congress, in the Courts, and in the court of public opinion.”Thompson invited Napa City Council Member Bernie Narvaez. He is a Marine Corps veteran and small business owner. City Council Member Narvaez will still attend the State of the Union address at the U.S. Capitol. Rep. Ami Bera (D) California\u2019s 6th DistrictCongressman Ami Bera will not attend the State of the Union address. In an op-ed released, Bera said, “As a senior member of the House of Representatives, I feel an obligation to attend the State of the Union out of respect for the president as they outline their vision for our country. This year I feel different. After watching President Trump run roughshod over the Constitution, display utter disregard for Congress, and openly engage in corruption as he and his family use the office to enrich themselves and tarnish this country that I love, I will not give him the dignity of having my presence at the State of the Union.”Rep. Doris Matsui (D) California\u2019s 7th DistrictCongresswoman Doris Matsui will not attend the State of the Union address.”Tonight, I will not attend the State of the Union. I refuse to sit in the House chamber and pretend everything is normal while President Trump\u2019s administration governs through cruelty, chaos, and fear. I will not play along with decorum while families suffer and entire communities are terrorized,” Matsui said. “Let\u2019s be honest about what this speech will be: distortions, empty boasts, and petty grievances. Costs are still rising. Millions have lost access to health care because of Donald Trump\u2019s reckless policies. And it\u2019s clear his priorities start and end with himself. This moment doesn\u2019t call for polite applause lines or political theater. It calls for courage. It calls for resistance. And it calls for standing up \u2014 clearly and unequivocally \u2014 for the people we were sent here to serve.”Rep. John Garamendi (D) California\u2019s 8th DistrictCongressman John Garamendi said he will leave his State of the Union address guest seat empty to honor a 73-year-old grandmother who was detained by ICE.”I am dedicating my State of the Union guest seat to my former constituent, 73-year-old grandmother Harjit Kaur. She is unfortunately unable to attend because she was cruelly deported to India in the dead of night. This seat is for her and every person across the country that’s been caged, detained, and killed at the hands of Trump’s secret police force. Let her empty seat be a stark symbol of the human cost of Trump’s cruel deportation agenda,” Garamendi said.Rep. Josh Harder (D) California\u2019s 9th DistrictCongressman Josh Harder invited Reverend Nelson Rabell-Gonz\u00e1lez to the State of the Union address. Harder said Rev. Rabell-Gonz\u00e1lez “serves both Spanish- and English-speaking congregations and has been a community leader in the Valley for years, especially amid recent attacks on immigrant communities.””Here in the Valley, we\u2019re incredibly proud of our immigrant communities, and we\u2019re made stronger by their accomplishments and contributions. Despite recent attacks on our neighbors, our community has remained united around protecting Valley families, and Rev. Rabell-Gonz\u00e1lez has been at the center of those efforts,” Harder said. “As a faith leader in the Valley for years, Rev. Rabell-Gonz\u00e1lez has been a trusted partner and source of warmth and acceptance during these chaotic times – I\u2019m incredibly honored to have him as my guest and to bring these stories to Washington as we work to rein in these out-of-control attacks.”Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D) California\u2019s 11th DistrictSpeaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi invited Rev. Devon Jerome Crawford to be her guest for the State of the Union address. Crawford is the senior pastor of Historic Third Baptist Church of San Francisco.”Rev. Devon Jerome Crawford represents the very best of faith in action. His leadership reflects a deep moral clarity and an unwavering commitment to justice, dignity and the belief that our nation can be better than it is,” Rep. Pelosi said. “Throughout his ministry and public service, Rev. Crawford has brought people together to confront some of the most urgent challenges of our time \u2014 including the work of building a more inclusive democracy.”KCRA 3 reached out to Rep.
