Team — Over the past month, we’ve passed numerous pieces of crucial, progressive legislation in the House. Many of these bills are headed to the Senate floor and others, like the American Rescue Plan , have been signed into law by President Biden.
From immigration reform bills to reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, I am pleased to share these important updates with you and am looking forward to the work ahead.
Below you’ll find information on what’s happening in Congress and in San Diego. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions — you can also follow me on Facebook [[link removed]] , Twitter [[link removed]] , and Instagram [[link removed]] to get our most timely updates. Thank you for your continued support, much of this work could not be done without you.

Here’s what’s in this bill: *
$1,400
stimulus
checks
to
millions
of
Americans
—
putting
money
into
the
pockets
of
people
who
need
it
the
most.
*
Funding
to
help
families
pay
rent
and
stay
in
their
homes.
*
Support
for
small
businesses
to
keep
their
doors
open.
*
Funding
for
vaccine
distribution
and
testing
capacity
in
every
community
across
the
country.
This was a pivotal moment in passing legislation that will provide much needed relief for Americans across the country.

Women’s History Month: March is dedicated to celebrating women’s history and their invaluable contributions to our country. Scott is proud that his staff has always had women in the most senior, highest-paid positions, going back decades to when he served on the City Council. Much of his success in Congress would not have been possible without the substantial contributions of these women on Scott’s team over the years.
Nationally, we ushered in the most diverse Congress to date, with more women serving in Congress than ever before, and we inaugurated Kamala Harris as the first woman Vice President in our country’s history. While we’ve made progress and this month is dedicated to celebration, we must continue to champion the social, economic, and cultural equality of women today and every day.
At a time when women are disproportionately impacted by an unprecedented pandemic, we must recommit to addressing gender inequality in the workforce, childcare, and more to ensure our communities thrive.

Highlights from Capitol Hill
Here are updates on just a few of the bills passed by the House this month: *
The
House
passed
the
American
Dream
and
Promise
Act
of
2021
and
the
Farm
Workforce
Modernization
Act
of
2021
—
critical
reforms
that
will
strengthen
the
future
of
our
agricultural
labor
sector
and
establish
pathways
to
citizenship
for
millions
of
immigrants,
including
the
roughly
45,000
Dreamers
in
San
Diego.
*
Scott
cosponsored
two
gun
reform
bills
that
have
now
passed
the
House.
These
lifesaving
bills
will
advance
common
sense
gun
safety
by
requiring
stricter
background
checks
and
closing
loopholes
that
currently
allow
for
the
sale
of
firearms
without
proper
checks.
*
The
House
voted
to
reauthorize
the
Violence
Against
Women
Act,
which
provides
crucial
protections
for
survivors
of
domestic
violence
and
sexual
assault.
They
also
approved
a
Joint
Resolution
to
remove
the
time
limit
set
for
states
to
ratify
the
Equal
Rights
Amendment,
which
would
allow
the
ERA
to
become
part
of
the
Constitution.
*
Scott
was
an
original
cosponsor
of
the
Justice
in
Policing
Act
in
2020,
and
he
helped
pass
it
in
the
House
again
this
month.
The
legislation
is
considered
the
most
progressive
police
reform
bill
in
our
nation’s
history
and
would
ban
chokeholds,
end
no-knock
warrants
in
drug
cases,
eliminate
qualified
immunity,
combat
racial
profiling,
and
more.

Supporting Students and Schools
Through funding from the American Rescue Plan , federal grants will go towards assisting San Diego County schools as they reopen. This funding will be critical to ensuring students, parents, teachers, and administrators feel safe returning to in-person learning and it will boost virtual learning capabilities.

COVID-19 in San Diego County
Vaccine access has been steadily increasing, and state and local officials are working hard to efficiently distribute vaccines to Californians. 100 million vaccines have already been administered in the U.S. and President Biden has announced that by May 1, all adults will be eligible to receive a vaccine.
Scott is taking action to make sure everyone receives a vaccine when it’s their turn. This month, he voted to pass the VA VACCINE Act — authorizing the VA to expand vaccine availability for veterans and their caregivers who have faced challenges accessing vaccines.
While we are on the road to beating this pandemic, it’s important to continue taking precautions to slow the spread of COVID-19. You can visit California’s COVID-19 website [[link removed]] for the latest information on Regional Stay at Home Orders and find county-wide COVID-19 updates on the County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) site [[link removed]] .
