On May 2, 2025, Harder announced, “Getting things done! Brought home funding for Lodi to turn an old hotel into 40 new housing units.” This development signifies an initiative to increase the housing supply in Lodi, which is part of his district.
Later that day, Harder shared another development citing a significant infrastructure project, “Big win! We broke ground on the biggest public works project Stockton’s ever seen. 24 miles of new levees to keep our families safer from flooding.” The groundbreaking event in Stockton is a major step towards enhancing flood protection for the local community.
