Today, Representative Ami Bera, M.D. (CA-06) voted on a budget package that secured over $14,000,000 for projects in California’s Sixth Congressional District. These projects will get vital resources to support non-profits, community centers, infrastructure upgrades, parks, and more in Sacramento County. 

“I am incredibly pleased to vote to support these vital projects that will have a profound impact on California’s 6th District,” said Congressman Bera. “These projects are investments in modernizing our infrastructure, building affordable housing, and ensuring all residents have access to clean water. I was proud to sponsor and support these requests that will make a real difference in the lives of so many in our community. This bipartisan funding package is another example of making government work for the people. I look forward to President Biden quickly signing this bill into law so we can bring this critical funding home to make Sacramento County healthier, safer, and stronger.”
