Team —
Happy summer! It’s been a busy few months since I last updated you. Thank you so much for your help toward our Federal Election Commission (FEC) deadline — I’m so grateful to you, so today I wanted to share an overview of what we’ve been able to accomplish with our Democratic majority.
Below you’ll find information on what’s happening in Congress and in San Diego. 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 this session, much of this work could not be done without you.
— Scott

Select Committee on the Insurrection
In June, the House approved legislation to create a select committee to launch a new bipartisan investigation into the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Scott voted to create a select committee on the insurrection because he believes the American people deserve to know the truth about what happened during the January 6th attack and to ensure such an assault on American democracy will never happen again.

Making Juneteenth a National Holiday
Scott voted in favor of making Juneteenth a national holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in the U.S. and honor a day Black communities have celebrated for years. The holiday gives us time to reflect on a dark chapter in our nation’s history, as well as our ongoing fight for equality and racial justice.

Several of Scott’s bills recently passed in the House.
STANDUP Act: *
In
May
the
House
passed
Scott’s
STANDUP
Act,
which
encourages
schools
to
implement
evidence-based
suicide
prevention
training
for
students
in
grades
6-12.
The
pandemic
has
exacerbated
the
already-present
mental
health
crisis
in
our
country,
and
the
STANDUP
Act
will
ensure
funding
and
best
practices
are
delivered
to
state,
local,
and
tribal
agencies
to
implement
the
training
and
stop
school
violence
before
it
happens.
Resolution to Reduce Dangerous Methane Emissions: *
President
Joe
Biden
recently
signed
a
bipartisan
resolution
that
Scott
co-introduced
to
reinstate
two
key
Obama-era
methane
emission
standards
and
help
lower
Earth’s
temperature,
restore
our
global
leadership
in
the
climate
fight,
and
strengthen
our
economic
competitiveness.
Now
that
President
Biden
signed
this
resolution
into
law,
we’re
one
step
closer
towards
reigning
in
the
human
impact
on
climate
change.

OPRA II: *
In
June,
the
House
passed
Scott’s
bipartisan
Ocean
Pollution
Reduction
Act
II.
This
bill
will
further
reduce
pollution
discharge
into
our
ocean
from
the
facility
and
increase
our
region’s
fresh
water
supply.
It
will
also
save
ratepayer
money
by
cutting
red
tape
to
simplify
the
Point
Loma
Wastewater
Treatment
Plant’s
waiver
process.

Tijuana River Valley
The Tijuana River regularly spills trash and raw sewage from Tijuana into San Diego, and for decades, no binational action has stopped it.
After Scott stressed the importance of the Environmental Protection Agency’s role in cleaning up the river valley in April, the new EPA administrator made a commitment to prioritize and tackle the issue.
Additionally, last week, Scott participated in a virtual discussion as a panelist to talk about the Tijuana River sewage pollution problem with experts from the field and his constituents. He reiterated the resources secured in the USMCA and the need for action from both the U.S. and Mexico to resolve this environmental crisis.
Fourth of July
We hope you all had a happy and healthy Fourth of July weekend. This year, just like every year, Scott celebrated Independence Day with a blood drive at the San Diego Yacht Club in Point Loma.
# [#]
He also participated in Coronado’s 4th of July parade and enjoyed interacting with community members after a year of virtual celebrations.
