SACRAMENTO, CA — Yesterday, U.S. Representative Ami Bera, M.D.
SACRAMENTO, CA — Today, Representative Ami Bera (CA-06) issued the following statement marking two years since the October 7th terror attack on Israel:
“Two years ago today, Hamas terrorists carried out a brutal and unconscionable attack on Israel, murdering nearly 1,200 innocent people — including 46 Americans — and taking hundreds hostage. That day’s horror and trauma still reverberate for Israelis, Jewish communities around the world, and all who believe in peace and human dignity.
Sacramento, CA — Today, Representative Ami Bera, M.D. (CA-06) condemned the Trump Administration’s revocation of a $50 million federal grant awarded to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) for its Connected Clean PowerCity® project, a major initiative to modernize the electric grid and help the Sacramento region reach zero carbon emissions by 2030.
UPDATE: As of November 12, 2025, Congress passed a Continuing Resolution to reopen the federal government. This measure extends federal funding through January 30, 2026.
While this agreement brought an end to the 43-day government shutdown, several important issues remain at stake — including the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies. I remain deeply committed to working with my colleagues to extend these vital subsidies, helping keep healthcare premiums affordable for more than 20 million Americans.

Washington, D.C. – Representative Ami Bera, M.D. (CA-06) released the following statement after voting to reject House Republicans’ partisan government funding proposal:
“President Trump has instructed Republicans not to work with Democrats on a bipartisan agreement to fund the government—even though they need our votes to keep it open.
