Rep. Ami Bera (D) announced today that as part of the 2022 Fiscal Year government funding package, which passed the House of Representatives yesterday, $3.76 million has been secured for District 7 projects.

Among the projects being funded are $520,000 earmark for Elk Grove Police Department Communications Center Renovation. According to Bera's announcement:

India should "speak with a stronger voice" against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, U.S. Rep. Ami Bera told Nikkei in a telephone interview, stressing that "this is a situation where there really can't be a middle ground."

Bera, a Indian-American Democratic congressman who represents the California district that includes the city of Sacramento, chairs the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, Central Asia, and nonproliferation, giving him significant clout on legislation and spending in that area.

With the posturing over what's happening along the border between Russia and Ukraine changing by the day — and sometimes by the hour — the United States' pledge to stand with Ukraine and what Russian President Vladimir Putin might do about that is ratcheting up concern in the region.

Rep. Ami Bera, D-Elk Grove, joined Sonseeahray for his first local interview since returning from Ukraine and Belgium with a bipartisan delegation trying to sort this situation out.

U.S. Rep. Ami Bera, D-Elk Grove, on Aug. 26 spoke to the Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce on various topics, including the city's progress and bipartisan bills.

Bera, who has represented Elk Grove in Congress since 2013, is running in the election for the redrawn congressional District 6, which covers north Sacramento County.
