Dear John,
Using essential services and federal assistance programs as bargaining tools is unacceptable.
Over the past few weeks, Republicans in Congress have been negotiating a budget proposal that threatens to default on our loans for the first time in history.
This would devastate our economy and the people of Sacramento County who rely on essential services like SNAP and veteran care.
As your Representative in Congress, I will only support a funding package that provides for working families in Sacramento County without using social security, economic uncertainty, or cuts to education as bargaining chips. We must find common ground to move our country forward and make progress for the American people.
As always, please do not hesitate to contact my office with your thoughts, suggestions, and feedback. Your voice matters.
Be well,
Ami Bera M.D.
Member of Congress
