Team -- The start of this year has been
nothing short of eventful. Since day one of the Biden-Harris
administration, I have been working closely with my colleagues to
set an agenda for the future and rebuild in the aftermath of the
Trump presidency.

There are already milestones to be proud of -- like
the US rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement! -- but there are
also critical issues we must prioritize to support families
across the US.

While there is a lot going on, I want you to be
updated on the most important steps I'm taking in Congress. Read
on for an update on what's happening in Congress and in San
Diego. And as always, thank you for your support.

-- Scott

February is Black History Month

Black History Month is a reminder that we must
continue to celebrate and honor the work of our predecessors --
like my late colleagues John Lewis and Elijah Cummings -- by
recommitting to racial justice and equity.

There are long-overdue measures our nation must take
to dismantle systemic racism and ensure equality for everyone --
addressing racial disparities in healthcare, policing, access to
housing, and much more.

Supporting the Biden-Harris administration and our
Democratic majority

Scott is working with House Democrats and the
Biden-Harris administration to help our nation recover from the
division of the past four years and take action on COVID-19,
climate change, affordable healthcare, and more.

Scott recognizes that it's crucial for us to hold
seats and to expand our majority. That's why he's a leader,
continuing to build a Democratic coalition, taking action on
climate change, and reaching across the aisle to pass
common-sense legislation for American families.

Here are a few highlights from Capitol Hill:

Upon being personally asked by Speaker Pelosi, Scott
has returned to the House Committee on the Budget in the 117th
Congress. He's eager to take a leading role in shaping the
federal budget, pass President Biden's COVID relief plan, and
invest in the issues that matter most as a member of this crucial
committee.

Scott reintroduced the bipartisan Health STATISTICS
Act to improve data sharing efforts for our COVID-19 response.
This legislation will answer calls from public health experts to
improve data collection and reporting on COVID-19.

Scott is working with his colleagues in the House to
provide additional COVID-19 relief and adequate vaccine
distribution. California is one of the hardest hit states in the
nation and he's demanding COVID-19 relief for San Diego families
right now.

Supporting Students' Safety -- the STANDUP Act:

In September, the House passed Scott's bipartisan
STANDUP Act, to implement evidence-based suicide awareness and
prevention training programs in grades 6-12. Now, Scott is
reintroducing the bill to protect our students, and he needs your
support to make sure teachers, administrators, and students have
the resources they need to boost youth mental health awareness
and stop violence before it happens. Add your name to our
petition now to show your support for the STANDUP Act →

Strengthening Our Democracy -- the For the People Act:

Over the years, and especially this past election
cycle, we've seen a growing effort by the GOP to restrict many
Americans' fundamental right to vote. That's why House Democrats
re-introduced the For the People Act, to fortify our democratic
processes and ensure all Americans have equal access to
participate in our electoral process.

Protecting Our Environment

Scott is dedicated to protecting our environment --
and he's leading the way by urging leaders to act now to tackle
climate change.

Read Scott's op-ed new with V. Ram Ramanthan and
Durwood Zaelke in The San Diego Union-Tribune on the immediate
need for action to bend the warming curve.

The science is clear -- we need to take steps now if
we hope to avoid the increasingly devastating effects of climate
change.
