Lowering Costs

As the United States continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing global supply chain disruptions have led to serious delays and higher prices for Americans. Across the country, families are paying more for gas, food, rent, and basic living needs. It's past time for members in both parties – both Democrats and Republicans – to get serious about tackling rising costs that are squeezing Americans.

As your Representative in Congress, I'm taking action to lower everyday costs for Sacramento County families and small businesses.

Fixing our supply chains

Decades of neglect and underinvestment in our infrastructure have contributed to supply chain backups. That's why I voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which makes overdue investments in our nation's ports and airports. This law invests $17 billion in port infrastructure and $25 billion in airport and air traffic infrastructure, helping goods get to the market faster and at lower costs for American consumers. The infrastructure law will also help add 2 million jobs every year over the next decade.

Made in America

We've become too dependent on goods made in other countries, like China. That's why I voted for the America COMPETES Act, bipartisan legislation that strengthens manufacturing here at home while helping grow our economy, cut costs for Americans, and fight inflation. This bill levels the playing field to allow more American workers and businesses to compete and succeed in the global economy.

Increasing American innovation

As a senior member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, I'm working to ensure the United States remains the undisputed leader in science and technology. The COMPETES Act invests in our STEM workforce and our children's education, helping American workers retain a competitive advantage over workers from other nations now and for future generations.
