Want to hear a PERFECT breakdown of the affordable housing crisis in the
United States?

Katie gave one at a recent Oversight Committee field hearing in Maui,
where she spoke about the critical need for affordable housing not just in
disaster response, but for all Americans, everywhere.

This is another example of Katie bringing Congress to the people, to focus
on issues for the people. We’d be a lot better off if we had more leaders
like her in Congress, who focus squarely on what communities need, not
what corporations want. [ [link removed] ]Will you chip in $5 to help elect
more Congressmembers who will put American families first?

A persistent shortage of affordable housing is already a crisis for
families. When disaster strikes, it can spiral into a full-brown
catastrophe.

Unfortunately, Maui’s long recovery from last year’s wildfires is a
perfect example of what happens when policymakers don’t center families’
biggest problems, like affordable housing, before disaster comes along.

As Katie said in the hearing, “Competition with tourists—mainlanders
scooping up properties to rent as vacation homes—combined with a lack of
new construction played a part in putting stable, affordable housing out
of reach for many of the families who live and work here. The wildfires
supercharged Maui’s housing crisis.”

The housing crisis is playing out in communities from from Maui to Miami,
wildfires are raging right now across the western United States, and
forecasts earlier this year predicted a record-breaking hurricane season.

Our lawmakers can’t keep kicking the can on housing and climate. Katie’s
working hard so that all Americans can afford the housing they deserve,
but we need more leaders like her. That’s where you come in.

We’re working to elect a new wave of Democrats who will do the job of
Congress the way Katie does, prioritizing action on the issues that matter
most to families: [ [link removed] ]Will you chip in $5 or more right now
